In all my renewals, the only time I ever got a rate increase was by buttering up the client who then squeezed the agency margin to give me more of a cut. The only other option as I see it is to sort yourself out another contract and then put a gun to their head but its a rotten way to do business and will probably burn your bridges. Good luck.

I would go for it. Tried it a few contracts back. Was rejected by the Director and she advised there would be a round of rate cuts but it didn't harm at all. Was awkward asking but fine after and the agent discouraged me from doing it. Could have been up £50 per day if I managed it.

I did, I spoke to my handler here and explained I was getting itchy feet. He phoned the agent and told her to put it through. Odd situation where the ClientCo has to convince the agent to raise the rateOriginally posted by MaryPoppins View Post
