    He cannot win can he? he is trying his level best to get you the contract by properly analysing the costs and make it easy for you to see the picture.

    what he should do is find an eastern european who would at least be grateful for the service (and probably the job too)

      1) How can he properly analyse anything without knowing the details such as salary I pay, share setup, where I intend to stay etc?

      2) Yeh right making it easy to see the picture. More like hoping I'm stupid and will believe him.

      I'm sorry but whether a rate stands up and is worth it is my decision alone. Just tell me the rate and I'll decide if I can do it or not.

          He is actually trying his best to get you to take the role at a low rate by trying to 'sell you the benefits' of it.

          Most people are pretty savvy and know what they need to earn and what the minimum is that they can take.

          It's like a used car salesman - hmmm take out our long term low interest loan and pay off you 3 year old Ford Fiesta in 10 years at a cost of $15k....

            *shrug*

            He is trying to get a commission, that is how he pays his bills. Sounds like he is struggling to fill the roll so he is trying anything he can.

                Well yes he cannot fill his roll until he fills his role hence him trying so hard.

                      Yes. The word "role" is misspelled.
