THE MANAGEMENT TEAM WILL BE IN CHARGE OF THE BUSINESS SIDE OF BEING IN A BAND. OFTEN, BAND MEMBERS ARE GREAT AT THE CREATIVE SIDE OF THINGS, BUT AREN'T SO GREAT AT PROMOTING THEMSELVES, BOOKING THEIR OWN GIGS, OR NEGOTIATING DEALS. IN A VERY GENERAL SENSE, THE TASK OF A MANAGER IS TAKE CARE OF THE DAY TO DAY RUNNING OF THE BAND'S CAREER, SO THE BAND CAN FOCUS ON THE CREATIVE SIDE OF THINGS JOB THE MANAGEMENT TEAM SHOULD BE THE MOUTHPIECE OF THE BAND, AND THEIR GREATEST ALLY, MAKING SURE THAT EVERYONE ELSE INVOLVED IN THE BAND'S CAREER IS DOING THEIR JOB AND WORKING HARD TO PROMOTE THE BAND'S SUCCESS. FOR INSTANCE, THE MANAGER SHOULD BE ON THE PHONE WITH THE LABEL, ASKING ABOUT ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS AND THEN ON THE PHONE WITH AGENT ASKING ABOUT UPCOMING SHOW OPPORTUNITIES.
