Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Leila Ciancaglini. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Leila, appreciate you joining us today. Alright, so we’d love to hear about how you got your first client or customer. What’s the story?
let me tell you about how I got my first client. It was back in 2002, when my agency had just started. My English was very basic at the time, but that didn’t stop me from pursuing new business opportunities. I knew someone who worked at a distributor and decided to ask for a meeting with them. I wanted to introduce them to my models and see if they would be interested in working with us.
To my surprise, they agreed to meet with me and were impressed by the models I presented them with. They liked our work so much that they ended up offering us a contract on the spot!
That first client turned out to be Tecate beer, and we went on to work with them for more than 15 years. It was an incredible experience and helped us establish ourselves as a reputable agency in the industry.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
I am absolutely amazed by how quickly my business has grown in just 6 short months since opening my agency. I wanted to truly be an inspiration to entrepreneurs like me. After securing a large contract with Tecate Beer, i took advantage of every opportunity to network and establish relationships with potential clients. It’s no wonder that one of the attendees at a food convention was recommended to my agency, and from there, things just took off for me . During this time of need I went around to thousands of people and gave them my personal business card. This was a game changer for my business. Unlike today where everything is online and not personal, I gave that aspect to the table. RLC Talent Agency in my mind was going to be the biggest agency people want to work in! After years of hard work and dedication time is truly paying off, and I have no doubt that my company will continue to thrive and succeed.
Thank you for ask me this question –
How did you put together the initial capital you needed to start your business?
When I moved to the US I only had $15,000 and my American Express credit card and with that I started my modeling agency 3 months after moving to Los Angeles, I registered the name of my agency and put all I had money to start my business , and as I told you before thanks to that meeting with the beer company I was able to have the contract that led me to success with my agency
