IMO a bad "philosphy". Sounds to me more like you're hustling them with "package deals" - but again, this is my opinion. I wouldn't really know.
I will say one thing - I was never much of a fan of agent fees, but now I'm all for them...when a model isn't cooperating, it's so much easier to just call her agent than to try and deal with it yourself. It doesn't happen much on my sets, but when it does, it's worth every penny to call an agent.
And if the agent is working his/her ass off to get the model work, then they deserve the 15% (or so) they get from the girl.
