Exactly, the client should be gently pointed in the direction of the pimp, a schedule change should effect, you in the meantime should negotiate for as much as you can get away with , with the pimp.Comment

Had a stint at a Gvt agency when the client offered a max 1%, pimp actually rounded it up to the nearest tenner so I actually got more from the pimp than the client had offered - mind you just went to show how good their margin was in the first place....Cenedl heb iaith, cenedl heb galon

pimp relationship
always discuss rate direct with your client. dont involve the pimp until its done.. then make sure your discussed rate comes to you.. the pimp can negotiate or be done over by the client depending on his guts....
after all .. the pimp should have negotiated this with the client rather than you...
always remember ..the pimp.. is called the pimp .. for a reason.
but your the saleable asset.Comment
