The Role of a Model Trainer

VERY IMPORTANT READ! DON'T SKIM THROUGH IT IF YOU ARE A SERIOUSLY INTERESTED MODEL. 

In fact, Pimn models are recommended to keep refreshing themselves on this blog 5 days a week.

Even if they have read the entire blog, they will go back to the beginning and start refreshing themselves on older posts. 

Keeping in mind, the more you refresh your reading, studying, the more engrained the information becomes. 

Reading only once, your mind will only retain about 20 to 30% but you can increase that memory by always refreshing on prior blog posts. 

You may find something the 2nd time around that you actually didnt even see the 1st time because you were rushed or distracted or tired. 

Pimn models have a daily journey journal, taking notes of important details, writing down goals, schedule, safety tips, writing their daily activity towards their goals.

Highlighting their key points. They carry this and keep it as closely guarded as they would their phone or wallet.

They have contact email only inside it, front cover...just in case they ever forget it in public. If anyone ever finds it, only offer to retrieve it in public locations. Never in private areas. But don't misplace it. It's black and gold lettering. PIMN on cover.

You pick how thick each journal is for your journey. You pick out your style of training journal. Can be hard bound lined note pad or a zip up, flexible daytimer. 

A personal scheduler with calender in it and note section, etc can be used. It becomes your baby. Treat it like it is your baby.

You can add thoughts, reminders, safety tips, etc. What you did x day and for how long. Pimn models make this a habit to document your training. 

Using her laptop at home

In the world of modeling, having a skilled model trainer can significantly enhance a model's career.

A trainer focuses on refining a model's skills, from perfecting their runway walk to mastering facial expressions or extensive pose training skills that prepares the model for long shoots. 

This personalized coaching is crucial in helping models stand out in a highly competitive industry.

Model trainers provide tailored feedback and guidance, allowing models to improve and adapt quickly.

They also introduce innovative techniques and styles, keeping the models up-to-date with current trends.

The smarter way of networking

This continuous learning process builds confidence and competence, essential traits for a successful modeling career.

A model trainer is typically for the more serious model types that study modeling as a potential, high paid career path. Much like an Olympian athlete would never train solo. 

If shes going for the gold and trophy, she WILL have a trainer, mentor, manager.  

Would you prepare to be a flight attendant by self study only? Of course not.

Would you prepare to be a nurse by self study and no schooling in that career? No. 

Neither does or should ANY model that ever wants to seek modeling as a real career to potentially replace her dead end or boring job.

For anyone to ever tell you....you don't need model schooling to be a model, no training, trainer,  no mentoring, no manager needed have by this very statement...not only going to lead many other models into frustration repeatedly but also into potential dangers of bait and hook traps. 

We honestly can't count how many times we have seen models on social media completely frustrated, wanting to quit, tired of trying, asking random strangers online with comments like, ...

"Please please HELP! Is this a scam!? I was contacted by this model scout! And don't know what to do!"

Then she's getting her feedback from a potential of other scammers. Some are pros but half aren't. So, who is who? 

Having training first can and will save you years of frustration. As well, having a trainer, mentor, manager is the first step to being professional. 

Pimn makes modeling SAFER by your modeling efforts being at home. You are building your home studio as you go in Pimn. 

Is it challenging? Yes, of course it is, like any walk-in school will be too. Like any college degree will be too. 

Many newer, unlearned models or potential models want to be a model SO BADLY...they put their own safety on the line.

Pimn makes having a trainer, mentor, manager affordable to you vs being sponged and soaked for $1000s by others. 

Pimn Director can't count how many times I've seen online or in person or got text from new models...saying they are so frustrated.

They signed on with such n such agency, rushing into it, only to be waiting weeks, not hearing much of anything from them. Multiple times! 

Models pay to get gigs with no training. Only to find out down the road, the reason they were left hanging is because they have no decent portfolio, no resume', no video reels, no experience and only AFTER the agency signed them on???

and took their money...were they then told...you're going to need a list of things to get done first, before that agency will submit them for any paid offers.

Models saying, wait, WHAT!? Why didn't you tell me this BEFORE I paid you my $1000 to be represented!!!?

You mean I'm not even representative, but you took my payment, only to now start saying I need to pay for a whole new portfolio? To pay for a professional resume'?

To pay for a videographer to do multiple video demos of my posing and or skills? Why, wasn't I informed of this before I signed? 

I'll tell you exactly why. You bit the hook. They reeled you in. Now if you don't keep investing, you're in a binding contract for a year. 

Are these always the cases? No. But do they exist more often than not? Yes.

Seen it many times over with models not even part of Pimn consulting the director, complaining about how frustrated they are. It makes them not even want to model anymore as one model stated pvtly. 

The relationship won't work if your heart is somewhere else

Not only has this happened so many times we can't count, other incidents are safety concerns of models that are solo who barely know about the many bait and hook traps set by traffickers as well. 

They know big dollar amounts are great baits for these hooks with an appearance of a legit modeling agency.

Yet, they aren't. They have laid a trap for you with a fake contract and the model thinks she's going to shine as suddenly a highly paid model, with hardly ANY experience with even fake auditions and offers out of the country. Until she finds herself investing into her own trap. 

Better beware! These exist! DON'T FALL FOR THESE! Is why Pimn will work with only known name brands, contacting the company directly, questioning the scouts name.

If they say, "no sorry, we have NO SUCH PERSON who works for us! Thats a poser! Please do NOT send your model to that audition!!! That's not even how we recruit!" 

Work just isn't working out

Your manager triple verifies every offer if in person auditioning or modeling and only for known name brands.

If for unknown, but looks legit, is legit, a Pimn model will STILL do her auditioning from home, modeling from home, and is training in our women's defense and awareness training to help her stay as safe as possible. 

YOUR SAFETY AS A MODEL IS PARAMOUNT. NEW MODELS ...DO NOT JUMP AT OR IN ANY OFFER THAT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!

ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE OFFERING YOU BIG MONEY MODELING AND YOU HAVE VERY LITTLE EXPERIENCE. YOU'RE ONLY SETTING YOURSELF UP FOR A TRAP. 

Finally finished packing

Your safety isnt just up to Pimn if ever a Pimn model, your safety is also your responsibility as well. You too need to triple verify. 

The last thing you ever want to end up in...is in a situation you cant ever return from. Waking up drugged in a foreign country. Because YOU chose to be stubborn headed and go into this industry solo. 

Whether movie offers or otherwise, you need to step every outside world step these days with extreme caution. Trafficking women is a multi billion dollar business. And models are prime targets for such posers. 

BE SMART AND IF YOU FEEL YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE RIGID STANDARDS OR QUALIFICATIONS OF PIMN, AT LEAST DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND START LOOKING FOR A WELL FAVORED OTHER TRAINING, TRAINER, MENTOR, MANAGER. 

It's easy to explain

The Importance of a Mentor

Beyond technical skills, having a mentor in the modeling industry offers invaluable life and career advice. Mentors often have years of experience and can share insights that are not easily learned through training alone. They act as role models, providing support and encouragement throughout a model's journey.

A mentor's guidance can help models navigate the complexities of the industry, from contract negotiations to handling media exposure. This mentorship relationship fosters personal growth, helping models develop a strong sense of self and professionalism.

The Impact of a Model Manager

The role of a model manager is pivotal in managing a model's career trajectory. They handle the business side of modeling, ensuring that models are booked for suitable jobs and that their professional image is consistently maintained.

Managers also connect models with the right clients and opportunities, maximizing their exposure and earning potential.

By overseeing schedules, contracts, and public relations, managers allow models to focus on their craft without being bogged down by administrative tasks.

This partnership is crucial for maintaining a balanced and successful career in modeling.

Benefits of Having All Three

The combination of a trainer, mentor, and manager creates a comprehensive support system for models. Each plays a distinct role that contributes to different aspects of a model's career development.

Together, they ensure that models are well-prepared for every opportunity that comes their way.

Having this trio in place allows models to focus on their personal and professional growth while feeling supported in every aspect of their career.

This holistic approach not only enhances their modeling skills but also builds their confidence and resilience against industry challenges.

Pimn virtual home modeling is like having yourself a trainer, mentor, manager to help critique your progress in your own home.

Pimn has also a BFF Program. To join together with a best friend. You'll basically train, shoot, help each other every step of the way. Can swap homes to do shoots. Promote together your video reviews. Help encourage each other, motivate each other.

Consult trainer, mentor, manager together. Etc you become a Pimn modeling duo. Work out together, talk to other women together can increase your odds of building your network. 

You have...as a paid member access to assistance. There are limits based on your level of membership. Whether you are a free member to try it out or a brand ambassador or you're training and modeling 5 days a week. 

You'll only get out of it what effort you put into it. Understand, no trainee, mentor, manager can give his or time away for free. Yet, your money is not our focus. Schooling for models are not free for 100% return help.

Free gets your foot in the door. But expect a much slower pace. You CAN now earn as a free model. Long as your scores are high enough to promote it. 

Step out of your comfort zone by stepping into the pages of PIMN. 

Keep in mind that modeling agencies are not modeling schools. It's why they are often cheaper investments or offering to profit off getting you modeling gigs for a %. 

In all honesty, you shouldnt even be submitting to ANY modeling agency unless you have first been to modeling school. 

Youre growing Pimn into a home business partnership with Pimn. That % is strictly based of your own efforts of growth. Not a full partnership. You do not earn off all other models. Only your own network.

Enhanced Career Opportunities

With the virtual support of a trainer, mentor, and manager, models are better positioned to seize diverse opportunities.

This team ensures that models are always prepared, whether it's for high-profile fashion shows or exclusive photo shoots.

As a result, models can expand their networks and increase their visibility in the fashion world.

Only high enough scoring, local models will be trained in person and or have any shoots in person with Pimn. If not local to trainer,mentor, manager, how you get there is up to you.

If accepted for such...it means you are top of the network within Pimn. The director will only meet models that have 90% or higher scores across the board. Regardless of looks.

To the Director of Pimn, looks alone don't cut it to be a pro model. Nor does having multiple prior photo shoots. Only qualifying cover models.

Likely, you'll have trained months before that's possible if not at least a year in basic modeling before considered. 

A Competitive Edge

In an industry where competition is fierce, having this comprehensive support gives models a distinct edge.

They are more likely to stand out to potential clients and agencies because of the polished skills, strategic guidance, and professional management they receive.

This competitive advantage can lead to higher-profile assignments and long-term success in the modeling industry.

Models with access to such resources often achieve milestones faster than those navigating the industry alone.

It's like having also your own personal trainer and personal sensei for safety and awareness, defense training.
