Good public relations:

If your going to be a success in the entertainnment industry, remember image is everything. You have to look and act professional on every level. Your first impression will usually be your initial contact letter requesting credentials. Make a not just a good impression, make a great impression.

 Spend the time to polish your business cards and stationary. I've met plenty of pro's who work out of a garage but look like a million bucks. Practice and develope pleasant, articulate speaking habits.

 Don't make promises you can't or don't intend o keep. You may be able to smoose your way into the first event but it will undoutablably be your last. Press relation personal keep contact lists and share them with others in the industry. Do everything you can to get on the good list. Being black balled in such a small industry is almost impossible to overcome!
