Personal Agents
The Problem: It's too hard to fully represent yourself
I think it's true that everyone needs a little help. Whether it's finding the right business partner, a wife or husband, or just about anything. Today, some of us use agents to buy or sell a house, get a loan, and if you're a professional athlete or actor, you may have an agent as well. Most of us have a few agents we don't really think of like agents. For example, the friend that's arranging dates for you or the person that recommends you for a job are your personal agents. The problem is we don't have enough agents. I need more agents, HubPages needs more agents, and even my friend Jeremy is looking for agents to find him a wife.
So, how can I get more agents?

Jack, I would certainly agree that trust is very important in an agent relationship.
I like the idea quite a bit. Incidentally, where's aforementioned wife?
Paul, I really like your idea. Is it still something you are interested in. I'd be the perfect agent. Let's chat!!!

I like the concept. Most people have skills and contacts that don't get effectively used because they aren't marketed. Seeing an opportunity to help out, and make something on a positive result would be rewarding at several levels. The emphasis has to be on "personal". The trust factor would have to be very high to encourage people to work on behalf of a person unknown to you on a contingency basis.
