SELF EMPLOYED CONTRACTORS

Our media account sales managers and media account managers staff including booking agents are self employed contractors so they do the work in their own time as long as deadlines are hit.

They are all commissioned based according to the sales they bring or bands they book for a tour date or gig/festival.

As Ragebreed is a part time organisation and do not have big budgets, we rely on the income that comes in to pay for our outgoings and the commissions for our staff.

Just like many sales role are OTE, Ragebreed operate similarly.

The only thing we charge bands for is the compilation deal and/or advertising.

We take a small commission from bands who are signed to our label and we take commissions for sales of our magazine.

VOLUNTEERING

Some of our staff do this as a hobby and want the experience instead of being paid so we offer free training in a field they are not experienced in or want further training in.

The things we do for free for bands are modelling band shirts, our team moderate our groups and pages for free, we do free interviews and free reviews for the bands.

We also offer volunteers commissions as gift vouchers instead of a set wage and all staff get 20% off our online store and free press passes to selected affiliated shows including an opportunity to advance in their chosen careers such as courses paid for by the company.

FEE BASED WORK

We pay a set fee for our club DJs, field market research staff, door staff, event management in some cases and sound engineers.

We pay selected signed/self financed A to C list bands a fee with rider such as buffet and drinks.

With the lesser unknown bands underground bands, C-E list, we give them a certain amount of tickets to sell to cover their costs for risk management purposes.

In the past some D to E list bands played for free but we changed our policy years back to ticket based and in some cases percentage on door. It depends on the venue and contract.

LIFE COACHING

We have helped alternatives and metalheads reach their goals with either diet, fitness, ambitions or by just joining our group and page, inspiring them to look after their health a bit better. Our service is £50 per life coaching session and we have received some excellent feedback regarding our services.

In the music business we know there is a tendency for rock stars to end up in rehab and deal with addictions and mental health problems. Our aim is to find voluntary and fee based psychotherapists and counsellors to help people get treatment online via our service.

We will be spending some time working on this area in 2021 to help those that are suffering with the consequences of COVID.

We are a company that cares about the people in it. As much as we enjoy a night out or a festival, we try to also look after ourselves emotionally and physically which have been life lessons from the past.
