Well... these agents - at least the ones I deal with - IMHO - really work for whatever little that they manage to make as commission at the end of the evening.
First important thing they do is of course to basically enforce all the rules and things to do/not do to make sure that his guests do not get ripped off by the various mommies, managers, gals, dj, cigarette/snack/flower/stuffed toys sellers etc... anyone of whom can quickly add to the outlay for the evening. If you read my thread on the do's and don'ts at a KTV, you will get more details what all these KTV's can AND do pull on the unsuspecting KTV goer.
And a good agent will NOT subscribe to the notion that the more the bill goes up, the more he will make at the end of the night; he will instead honestly try to keep unnecessary costs down to satisfy his clients...who will in turn recommend him to others as well as become return customers.
Secondly, they are there to help you solve some of the problems that CAN arise during the evening - things like recalcitrant, demanding, out of line etc gals, a bit of translating if you are not a Chinese speaker - even negotiating with your gal/what you expect for taking her out etc.
But the thing that I really appreciate them doing is that they pair off a lot of single (or 2, 3) punters with others to make up a party AND to share/lower the costs. And as a good agent is the guy approached naturally by a lot of punters who come to town, such pairing up with others are much more likely to happen than if you try to arrange it all yourself.
Probably can think up of a few more reasons why I myself prefer to use an agent when I want to go to a KTV - but believe that the above list should already give you a pretty good idea.
