NEW SERVICE: AAF COACHING CONCIERGE SERVICES
We’ve heard from some college and NFL coaches that they don’t love paying a coaches’ agent 3-5 % annual commission (or more) when coaches are almost always getting themselves their next job, either directly or through their own networks.
Instead, why not retain us, and deploy Mook Williams, a veteran attorney and agent, and Ric Serritella, who has at least one connection in almost every major college football program and NFL team, and then simply bill against that retainer when you need us to do something for you?? We have a massive network, and we have sophisticated negotiation skills.
The retainer itself would be significantly less than the commission of one year of a mid-level coaching contract. Don’t need us very often? The retainer will last for years. Need a lot of work from us? Simply top off the retainer once it’s empty, to keep us working.
NO OVERPRICED COMMISSION BILLS anymore, just a retainer and charges that YOU control. Contact us for a free consultation: ric@allaccessfootball.com
