Steve Ferber is a former tennis player and attorney who founded a sports agency called Paydirt Sports Law. He understands the realities of professional sports careers, which typically last only 3 years in the NFL. Most athletes face financial issues after retirement due to lack of long term planning. Ferber aims to negotiate contracts, mentor clients, and help players manage their money to last beyond their playing days. He has already signed two potential NFL draft picks as his first clients - defensive lineman MBI Tanyi of the University of Maryland, and long snapper Zachery Roberts of Georgia Tech.

This document discusses key provisions for record deals involving musical groups. It notes that group contracts often include key member clauses, giving the record label rights over any member that leaves or breaches the agreement. The document also recommends that musical groups establish band agreements to determine ownership of their name and brand, financial splits between members, rules for adding or removing members, and what will happen if the group dissolves. Finally, it stresses the importance of establishing a formal business entity like an LLC or corporation to manage the group's affairs and avoid legal issues.

This document provides a checklist for new artists to get started in the music business. It recommends that artists register their copyrights, keep records of ownership, draft agreements between band members, trademark their name and logo, form necessary business entities, register with performing rights organizations, arrange for distribution of music and merchandise, embed metadata, register websites and social media, consider booking agents and publicists, and look into relevant industry organizations. The checklist covers important legal and business steps for artists to protect their work and maximize revenue opportunities.
This case examines the ethical issues faced by a public relations firm called PRI. There were two main parties involved - PRI and their client. As an employee at PRI, it would be difficult to fit in ethically as the company did not enforce proper ethical standards and values. Managers at PRI were not as ethically tense as employees as they prioritized company growth over ethical practices. As an ethics consultant, I would recommend enforcing compliance with ethical standards, maintaining those standards, communicating the standards to coworkers, and fining higher authorities if they do not properly enforce ethical practices.

What do you get when you cross an attorney, an accountant and a jock? A sports agent, of course! So when Dwayne Johnson aka Spencer Strassmore in the HBO hit series “Ballers” attempts to convince his clients that the proceeds of multimillion dollar NFL contracts have to last 30 years, and they respond, “what am I going [to buy ?] after I buy the Bentley?” you know that an agent has his work cut out for him.
Steve Ferber wants to solve that problem. He understands both the taste of victory and the blast of reality. Starting his academic life at the University of Maryland on a tennis scholarship, it wasn’t long before he traded in his varsity colors to pursue a degree in accounting.
That led to the University of Miami and a law degree, and years spent as general counsel and EVP of Strategic Planning for a blossoming outsourcing firm that was successfully sold in 2004. Not one to rest on his laurels, Steve launched Golden Gate BPO Solutions and continued to pursue opportunities in outsourced call centers around the world. That too has been a tremendous success, with his company poised to achieve Inc. 5000 status in 2019 for the 4th consecutive year as one of America’s fastest growing private companies. But at one point he reassessed his goals and his future, and there was still something missing.
In Law School, there was always an interestin sports contracts. So he learned about the business of the NFL- the interwoven relationships among union’s agents, players, owners, and the public. The NFL Players association protects its players by requiring potential agents to pass a rigorous licensing exam offered just once a year, with close to a 55% failure rate.
Ferber made a commitment and never looked back. He was certified in October of 2018 and founded a company that epitomized what he wanted his clients to strike once he did his job: paydirtsportslaw.com came into existence shortly thereafter.
What does he know that other people don’t? It is more that Ferber appreciates the fact that 75-80% of career athletes suffer major financial issues regardless of salary. That the average NFL career is only 3 years and if a player doesn’t make the best of it, he will never recover. The average NFL annual paycheck is $2 million, thus $6 million in three years. That sounds wonderful until the taxes are paid, the houses are purchased, the families and friends are taken care of, and what is left can evaporate pretty quickly without a financial and business advisor. He wants to negotiate, to mentor, and to make a difference, one player at a time.
His professional idol? Leigh Steinberg, who came into one of Ferber’s law school classes over 25 years ago to elaborate on what a day as a successful sports agent is really like. He should know, since Steinberg served as a model for the main character in Jerry McGuire. Recently, Steve had an opportunity to see his inspiration again, this time as a peer during the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.

The document discusses the career path of becoming a sports agent. It notes that while many are told being a professional athlete is unrealistic, working as a sports agent provides opportunities in the growing sports industry. To succeed as an agent requires a college education, ideally in a relevant field like business or law. Agents must work long hours, travel frequently, and build strong relationships with clients to best represent their interests and negotiate contracts and endorsements. Following all regulations is important to maintain one's license, as violating rules, such as providing improper benefits to collegiate athletes, can lead to suspensions.

The document discusses the career path of becoming a sports agent. It notes that while many are told being a professional athlete is unrealistic, working as a sports agent provides opportunities in the growing sports industry. To succeed as an agent requires a college education, ideally in a relevant field like business or law. Agents must work long hours, travel frequently, and build strong relationships with clients to best represent their interests and negotiate contracts and endorsements. Following all regulations is important to maintain one's license, as violating rules, such as providing improper benefits to collegiate athletes, can lead to suspensions.

When the poor performance of the U.S. Olympic Speedskating Teams was anecdotally linked to Under Armour’s performance-enhancing uniforms the skaters wore, the company quickly mobilized:
• Executives never pointed fingers; instead they reaffirmed their support of the teams.
• It sent people to Sochi to work with the speedskaters and resolve the issues with their suits.
• It avoided the ongoing discussion about who or what was to blame and instead used positive statements from those affiliated with the teams.
• The company enlisted its sponsored athletes as influencers, who defended the brand on social media without mentioning the controversy.
• Before the end of the games, it announced an eight-year extension of its sponsorship of U.S. speedskating through 2022.
Under Armour faced a crisis when the U.S. Olympic Speedskating Teams performed poorly while wearing Under Armour suits in the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. Critics blamed the suits for the poor performance. However, Under Armour responded positively by sending representatives to work with the skaters, avoiding pointing fingers, and having sponsored athletes voice support on social media. It also extended its sponsorship with the speedskating team through 2022. Under Armour turned the potential brand debacle into a success story through its social media strategy and remaining supportive of the teams.
Transamerica Life & Protection (TLP) sought to maximize efficiencies across its customer engagement centers and marketing processes. It originally outsourced its licensed insurance agent services but was unhappy with performance. UNO worked closely with TLP to define key disciplines and processes, establishing an internal licensed agent team after outsourcing failed to meet goals. UNO's team exceeded expectations, driving results 7 percentage points higher than the previous vendor. As a result, UNO became TLP's sole provider and continued to outperform goals.
Can one draw any helpful parallels between the steps
and considerations taken when buying or leasing a car
with making an informed decision regarding the right call
center solution for someone's company’s needs?

Weston's Super Agent Steve Ferber (2/2) Weston Life Magazine April 2019
1. WESTON LIFE MAGAZINE I APRIL 2019 29WESTONLIFEMAGAZINE.COM
W
hat do you get when
you cross an attorney,
an accountant and a
jock? A sports agent, of course!
So when Dwayne Johnson aka
Spencer Strassmore in the HBO hit
series “Ballers” attempts to convince
his clients that the proceeds of
multimillion dollar NFL contracts
have to last 30 years, and they
respond, “what am I going [to buy
?] after I buy the Bentley?” you know
that an agent has his work cut out
for him.
Steve Ferber wants to solve that
problem. He understands both the
taste of victory and the blast of
reality. Starting his academic life
at the University of Maryland on a
tennis scholarship, it wasn’t long
before he traded in his varsity colors
to pursue a degree in accounting.
That led to the University of Miami
and a law degree, and years spent
as general counsel and EVP of
Strategic Planning for a blossoming
outsourcing firm that was successfully
sold in 2004. Not one to rest on
his laurels, Steve launched Golden
Gate BPO Solutions and continued
to pursue opportunities in outsourced
call centers around the world. That
too has been a tremendous success,
with his company poised to achieve
Inc. 5000 status in 2019 for the 4th
consecutive year as one of America’s
fastest growing private companies.
But at one point he reassessed his
goals and his future, and there was
still something missing.
In Law School, there was always an
interest in sports contracts. So he
learned about the business of the
NFL- the interwoven relationships
among union’s agents, players,
owners, and the public. The NFL
Players association protects its
players by requiring potential agents
to pass a rigorous licensing exam
offered just once a year, with close
to a 55% failure rate.
Ferber made a commitment and
never looked back. He was
certified in October of 2018
and founded a company that
epitomized what he wanted his
clients to strike once he did his
job: paydirtsportslaw.com came
into existence shortly thereafter.
What does he know that other
people don’t? It is more that Ferber
appreciates the fact that 75-80% of
career athletes suffer major financial
issues regardless of salary. That the
average NFL career is only 3 years
and if a player doesn’t make the
best of it, he will never recover. The
average NFL annual paycheck is
$2 million, thus $6 million in three
years. That sounds wonderful until
the taxes are paid, the houses are
purchased, the families and friends
are taken care of, and what is left
can evaporate pretty quickly without
a financial and business advisor. He
wants to negotiate, to mentor, and to
make a difference, one player at a
time.
Balancing short-term euphoria
and long-term realities is Ferber’s
business, and he is poised to do it
quite well. He is out to build a brand
that will help his clients grow and
weather the years.
His professional idol? Leigh
Steinberg, who came into one of
Ferber’s law school classes over
25 years ago to elaborate on what
a day as a successful sports agent
is really like. He should know,
since Steinberg served as a model
for the main character in Jerry
McGuire. Recently, Steve had an
opportunity to see his inspiration
again, this time as a peer during
the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine
in Indianapolis, at the NFL
Player’s Association educational
seminar for agents in the business.
Steinberg’s client list most notably
includes Troy Aikman.
Who will be Ferber’s Aikman?
Well, although not a veteran agent,
Steve has picked up two strong NFL
potentials. His eye is on the draft in
late April. Watch for one of these
names to be called in the late stages
of the picking:
MBI Tanyi, Defensive Lineman,
University of Maryland, age 21,
native of Houston.
And fellow Houston native Zachery
Roberts, Long Snapper, Georgia
Tech, age 23. Zachery probably
won’t be singled out in the draft
stage because he has such a niche
position, but hopefully, some team
will see his potential and grab him
up before the next season.
So Spencer Strassmore, it’s time
for another Floridian to grab the
limelight as the most promising agent
in the NFL.
Move over, baby! WL
