Becoming a talent manager in California?

I am an actor, who wants to become a manager (so that I can also self-submit myself, and certain talented friends, and get the breakdowns)

I can get the bond, and meet all the other state requirements

But, to become a manager, eligible to get the breakdowns, I also need to join the talent managers association (which is kind of worthless, but breakdown services requires it, so "oh well")

In any event, I need to have three industry references, two of whom have to be SAG/AFTRA licensed talent agents

I don't know how to go about finding two agents to recommend me for such a thing

Did anyone else ever come across this problem?

And, if so, how did you deal with it?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer in this regard
