A nineteen-year-old picks the person who will run his entire financial life on a promise and a reputation. There has never been a record. Which means the better talker has been beating the better agent for a hundred years.
The athlete can see it now. Where an agency's clients actually ended up. Whether their careers went up or down after they signed. Whether they stayed. And the one column that has never existed anywhere: what they signed for, against what they were actually worth.
Everyone on earth can show a player a contract. Only this can show him the contract against the value.
The moment a young man can look that up, he will never again choose an agent on a promise. That is not a threat we are making. It is a market that is arriving.
And the profession already moved to meet it. The fee cap was fought and broken, so you can still earn. But the licence survived, and with it the clause that changed the job: an agency can no longer perform the service. A named, licensed human being must. The accountable unit is a person now.
So the record is coming whether anyone builds it or not. The only question is whether yours is any good, and whether you would rather find out first.
Your reputation counts for nothing in there. Your relationships count for nothing. It is built from what actually happened to the people who trusted you, and from nothing else. If you are good, it is the first thing in the history of this business that can prove it.
Find them before the market does. Price them on the truth. Run the whole book. And let the record do the talking, because it is the only thing in this business that has never been able to lie.
