    The client hasn't offered you anything, he's offered your pimp £50. They'll be pleased I'm sure.
    I'm alright Jack

        This is one of the reasons why I never discuss rate with the client...

          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.

            Their rate will be a percentage so yes.

              pimp gets an extra £50 per day
              you get an extra £10 a day

              now you know what the agency % cut is

                  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....

                    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.
