Not ALL bad.........

I never had much of an issue on the agent’s margin on the initial contract. However, I do have issue with the same margin being applied to extensions. They should have covered their costs and made a profit on the initial period. Extensions are extra and the ‘spoils’ should be shared.

They are a business, they should be negotiating whatever they can to make the profits they want. "Should" does not come into it. The same applies to you. This constant whining about agency margins is quite pathetic, if you dont like an agents margin then negotiate.

Greed is called a selfish desire to obtain money, wealth, food, material possessions or any other entity more than one legitimately needs.

And who decides what a legitimate need is?

You are obviously a s*** agent. With that attitude you should be working in the public sector. If you were any good you would not be on this board but would instead be hitting the phones.

I'm sorry but what a load of rubbish! I work from recommendations not cold calling you get a response of about 1-3% from cold calling and it is a lot of stress!

As far as rate are concerned why the hell would any contractor want there agent taking nearly as much as they are! No contractor in the country is going to be happy with that.

I can just smell the b*****t already. I did not say anything about cold calling did I??? You should be on the telephone networking and developing business whether it is answering all the calls from those thousands of IT managers and heads of PSLs who are begging to be your prefferred customer, or pestering the living daylights out of some loser who has the word "manage" on his CV.
