How do I get to be an agent at Palace?

In Simon Jordan's excellent book* he talks at length about his problems with agents.

Morality aside, I quite envy these agents their sheer bravado and ability to make money out of a lack of any human qualities.

It made me think: how do I get to be an agent?

Are there any courses? If prisons are universities of crime, where do I go to get trained in agency work?

I imagine the core skills needed are;
A lack of scruples
An ability to unsettle young players
An uncloseable mouth

But are skills enough?

A lot of agents seem to have a dad who was a football manager, so it might be one of those industries where you have to know someone first.

Any advice?

* Yes, I know what you're going to say. I have to say I liked Simon Jordan's book. He's a great writer and his story is very entertaining. I accept we might have different opinions about the great man.
