| Q. | Why should I join Skybolt? |
| A. |
Most importantly
because your agent has asked you to join. Unlike many other
similar services, Skybolt is a tool that is currently being
used by your agent. Skybolt gives the agent the capability
to create electronic packages of talent that can be emailed
to their clients. Agents without online photo delivery
capabilities cannot compete in today's market that demands
instant photo delivery. Skybolt also helps an agency
organize all the resumes, sizes, and contact information for
all their talent in one area. It gives the talent a place to
log in and keep their information current and up to date
without distracting the agency staff. |
| Q. | Why do I have to pay for Skybolt? Shouldn't my agent pay for Skybolt? |
| A. |
Just as you had
paid for your composite cards in the past so should you pay
for Skybolt. Skybolt is essentially a digital version of
your composite. Furthermore, the cost for administering the
program would be prohibitive for the agent and would require
someone from their staff to run it. You want your agency
working to get you work not administrating an internet photo
delivery program. |
| Q. | How much does Skybolt cost? |
| A. |
Skybolt is $128.00
for the first year and $108.00 for each year thereafter.
You may also pay monthly at $29.00 and $9.00 per
month. Family discounts may apply. We accept Visa, Master
Card, American Express, Debit cards, and checks. If you pay
by check however you will need to pay annually. |
| Q. | What else does Skybolt do for me? |
| A. |
Skybolt will
provide you with an online place for you to update your
resume, size and contact information. By using the Skybolt
program to update this information you are freeing up
valuable time for your agent and reducing their phone
load. Many talent also use the program to print up resumes
and headshots to use on their interviews. Your agent can
log in after hours or at any location with a computer and
access your information to contact you. |
| Q. | How many pictures can I have on line? |
| A. |
Technically there
is no limit to the number of photos you can have however we
recommend that you not have more than 20 images. |
| Q. | How can I update or change my pictures? |
| A. |
You may send us
your photos by email or regular mail. They will be posted
usually the same day they are received. Please make sure
that your agent has approved the photos you send us. Some
agents have asked us to only post images that have come

pixels wide. |
| Q. | How much does it cost to update my photo? |
| A. |
Nothing. As long
as your membership is in good standing you may add or change
your photos as often as you wish. Giving your agent the
best pictures to work imperative and the benefit of having a
program like this it that it gives you the ability to never
have stale or out of date photos. For this reason we will
never charge for changing your photos. |
| Q. | How do I put a voice or video clip on and how much does that cost? |
| A. |
If you have a
digital voice or video file of not more than 2 minutes in
length we will post it at no extra charge. Due to file size
you may need to mail us the CD or DVD. If your clip is on
tape or DVD we can convert it to a digital file for
$50.00. |
| Q. | What happens if my account expires? |
| A. |
If your account
expires your agent will not be able to send out your images
in packages to their clients. As a courtesy however we will
un expire your account at your agents request for a limited
time. We wouldn't want you to miss out on a job should you
forget to bring your account current. |
| Q. | Should I put my personal information in the program? |
| A. |
Yes. Only you and
your agent can see your personal information. Many agents
also use the Skybolt program as a database to make calls
from so it is imperative that you keep the contact
information up to date. Please enter your phone numbers in
the order your agent should call to reach you during normal
business hours. |
| Q. | How do I update my resume and how many items may I enter? |
| A. |
To update your
resume go the resume editor page. Select the type of item
from the drop down box and type the title role and company
as needed. If you use up all the entries click on update
and then "edit" from your main image page. This will take
you back to the resume editor with more blank entries to
fill in. Please remember that all items in the resume
editor are in reverse order from the finished resume. This
way you may add new items and they will appear in correct
order for a resume. There is no limit to the number of
items you can have on your resume. |
| Q. | I cannot log in. What is my username and password? |
| A. |
Most login
problems are because the username was not entered
correctly. All usernames begin with an agency identifier
followed by a dash - then the first four letters of your
last name followed by zero one or zero two etc. The most
common mistake is entering in the letter O instead of a
zero. If you are still having problems feel free to call or
email us. 818-841-6911 or info@skybolt.net |
