I am going to do well over 400 booking this year which more than likely is a much as anyone on this board.
This is what I did to cut back on the "flake rate"
We were having an issue with one agency as their girls were flaking about 30% of the time, they couldn't correct it and we stopped booking with them.
I praise the models who do a great job in board posts, my blogs, twitter etc; models love to read about themselves doing well and I feel models really do try harder on our sets since I make it known that we write about those that excel.
I started listing models who flaked on us. The agents were behind me doing this booking as having to rebook a scene caused griefs on both of us.
I make it known to the models that my four directors all shoot for other companies as well as mine.
We do all our shoots live and again make it well known how much an inconvenience it causes when we have to reschedule or replace them.
This is what worked for me and my company, it may or may not work for you.
