That wasn't luck. It was inside information, research, consideration, balls and action.
Well done.

I wouldn't mind another £50 a day danger money, it would make the train journey alot more bareable!Comment

Danger money in Bournemouth? Are those old biddies getting moody then?Originally posted by kookachoo View PostComment

You accepted the day rate that the agency offered initially didn't you? So that must have been OK then, so why start barking now? Agree it's a bit galling but consider it a lesson learned in always asking the agency what their margin is.Originally posted by beemarman View PostSval-Baard Consulting Ltd - we're not satisfied until you're not satisfied.

It's the danger money to be taking the train to Reading and back every day.... Bournemouth is bustling with beauties - don't forget the University and the drunk students who are happy with a drink and a packet of crisps for a cheap date!Originally posted by Jubber View PostComment

I'm at this stage now, have specified a rate but agency is already trying to renegotiate the rate on behalf of the client (will admit I'm a newbie). Thankfully due to the grey matter between my ears I've posponed agreeing the rate until the contract has at least been won.Comment

The agent will discuss a rate with you that they are willing to pay you, they have already had a discussion with the client as to how much the client will pay the agency.
Some agencies are ok and will offer you 85 -90% of their fee, others will screw you over.
These days with contracts sparce, more and more agencies are trying to take bigger margins off fewer contracts - it's the only way they can stay in business.
The best tactics are - sign up, get on site - find out the client-agency rate, then at renewal discuss an uplift with the agent.
Don't forget for the agent 10% of the fee or 50% of the fee - it's still profit for them at renewal time...Cenedl heb iaith, cenedl heb galon

yes because the end client is being ripped off . I like a decent rate for myself but hate to think a company I`m working for is paying too much to an agency that really does bugger all once the contract is setup.Originally posted by TheBigD View PostComment

The client is happy, and til you find out the price so are you, and the agency is definitely happy.Cenedl heb iaith, cenedl heb galonComment

Are you happy with your rate? That is all that matters. Now you know the agency is getting £155 you appear to be greedy? Natural reaction.
Of course there is no way in hell the agency deserves that £155 a day as its excessive - BUT they were just smarter in getting the deal
Its business.Comment
