Seems I have been put forward by two agents for the same job (agent A (big name agency) in location A, agent B (small no name agency) in location B but it seems agent A but me forward for location A and location B) so this has caused a balls up and client are now giving agent A a hard time as only agent B can provide proof (by email) that I want them to represent me.
The way I see it is that agent B was the more proactive as they were the only ones to get back to me with job spec and ask for confirmation of representation, and although even though agent A was putting me forward at a slightly higher rate (£25 a day extra) I feel more comfortable dealing with agent B, the fact agent A pretty much got very shirty with me causing me to hang up on them doesn't help there case.
Should I feel guilty? Yes agent A was first and is spouting about a mans word is his honour, but is it that clear cut? If I get a better vibe, and more personal service from an agent does honour go out the window?
