Which role/new career should I consider when I’m ready to hang up my producer hat? Where to go after agency producing?

This completely depends on who you are, what you’re interested in and what your strengths are. If staying in the industry and interested in remaining in production you could explore jumping to the production or post side or similar, etc. That easily leverages your direct industry knowledge, experience and relationships. Agency producers have become music producers, reps, Directors, line producers, production and post production EPs, start up owners in the space, etc, cost consultants, business managers, client side production leads and I’m sure a lot more. Or you can take your experience and apply it to a different industry all together. I think the skill set lends itself to lots of parallels.

Oh hunny. There is only one route... independent rep! That’s our career path for whatever reason.

I agree. But I swear EVERY one I have met has come from a producer background. What are your interests? Freelance?

Any advice on going Indy Rep?

Limited choices. Rep, cost consultant or jump now and go client side/vendor side

I'm at an early stage tech start up and gaining experience in an industry that I like. However, I am getting no formal training or sales coaching. Everything I've done so far (Inc. Targeted marketing and prospecting) has been self taught and I feel like I am lacking professional knowledge if I was to move onto a different company, especially considering that I am not involved in the full sales cycle.

My Co. seems to have challenges with getting the SOW right: either goes very basic or doesn’t scope enough because creative development is baked in but eats up time. How do you do it?
