Most newly licensed agents waste their first two weeks.
They hesitate.They overthink.They wait for confidence. Momentum matters more than confidence. Here is how your first 14 days should look.
Days 1–3: Clarify Your Positioning
Before you contact anyone, decide:
• What level of player you want to work with
• Which geography you understand
• What your long-term direction is
Without positioning, your actions look random. Random agents do not build credibility.
Days 4–6: Enter The Ecosystem
Do not sit behind a screen.
Attend:
• Local matches
• Academy fixtures
• Industry environments
Your presence matters.
Visibility builds familiarity.Familiarity builds trust.
Days 7–9: Controlled Conversations
Do not mass message players.
Instead:
• Build organic conversations
• Speak to people you meet in person
• Ask questions, listen more than you speak
Reputation begins with how you carry yourself.
Days 10–12: Build Structured Follow-Up
Start developing:
• Professional contact management
• Clear follow-up messages
• Notes on who you’ve met
Organisation separates amateurs from professionals.
Days 13–14: Review & Adjust
Ask yourself:
• Am I visible?
• Am I building real relationships?
• Am I acting with intention?
If not, adjust immediately.
Momentum in the first 14 days prevents stagnation in the first 6 months.
