Good thing with missing out on new co is that they won't remember you much and you could go in through a different agency at a later date. Current client sounds like there's years of repeat business ahead, so you only need to be looking every other year for contracts.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist -
Remember if an agent tells you the sky is blue and trees are green to look out of the window and make sure, taking what they are saying to you at face value would be a mistake. Agent wants to close the deal so he can start earning, can't blame him for that so you need to be aware of his agenda.Originally posted by Xiathorn View PostYeah, my thoughts too, but as I said he's been good so far so I'm reluctant to go that route. Cue "Are you sure you're COTBAC?"
Good advice here though, thanks. I'll have the Ltd spooled up by tomorrow and I'll get them to send over the contract. Much appreciated everyone.Comment
