entertainment industry coach question 248:I'd like more advice on how to be my husband's manager.

This is in response to a previous post. Okay, basically, you want to create a strategy plan together for targeting people and companies. You can help by:

1. Making calls and follow up calls on his behalf

2. Being his "ice breaker" at networking events

3. Doing the research that he doesn't have time to do

4. Creating your own letter head/logo to send out letters and emails on his behalf

5. Create/deepen your relationships with the people who hire him

6. Take meetings with him (other than interviews)

7. Doing the tasks that need to be done, but make his stomach queasy

Question 41: How should I prepare for an informational meeting with someone I've been referred to?

Preparing for an informational meeting with a referral is similar to preparing for a job interview. The differences being:

1. The person is meeting with you because of your connection to the person who referred you

2. It's not for a specific job

Therefore, in your preparation, you want to:

1. Know your objective(s) for the meeting

2. Research the person you're meeting with (seems obvious, but SO many people don't)

3. Design at least 5 questions that you really want to know the answers to

4. Compile a package that shows you in your best light
