WHY Pimn models have great communication etiquette

Dec 21, 2024

1.It makes you immediately get noticed over others when you speak in person or by phone, video chat, txt msg or email. 

2.It makes you look smarter and more professional which makes you look more experienced.  

Because you are. Because you're doing things, acting in ways, talking, communicating, have manners in ways that the majority of models.... DO NOT HAVE OR ARE MAINTAINED.  

3.You're considered far more reliable. Spoken highly of after you leave if it's in person. And complimented for it by the better pros that WILL recognize it. 

4.Doors open more for you.

Pros will notice. Forget the pros that don't care about etiquette, they aren't pros. Because they don't care that you're more professional.  

They apparently were never taught or learned them. Their pro ability is likely experience in years doing whatever they do...whether just hair or just makeup or just photography.  

DO NOT LISTEN TO THE NAYSAYERS ABOUT ETIQUETTE IMPORTANCE!

Trust me, as a 12 yr feature film director, working with over 200 actors and actresses and crew, etiquette meant a LOT.  

It showed me as a multi feature film director who knew what they were doing and who was reliable and most professional. Who likely went to schooling for acting vs who didn't. 

5.It sets a better impression for other models. Even if they think you are better, envious,  etc, you keep doing you.

Don't worry about any negativity of other models or crew type people who bash you for having impeccable etiquette which is higher professionalism.  

NOBODY in film, fashion or any photo video shoots wants to work with a bad manner, unreliable, lacking communication model that has an I'm better than others, or an I don't care attitude.  

In the higher paying arena of modeling...it's the fastest way to get rejected, replaced, talked badly about behind your back.

So, if that's what you want as a model...ignore Pimn tips on communication and manners. That includes texting, emailing, submissions for auditions and in-person contact with others.
