    Yep, thought about it for a few weeks - it's a horrible business.

    Question is: what will differentiate you from other agencies?
    Cost - reduce your margins compared to others.

    Other thing is - you need to be very savvy, a salesman and thick-skinned to get leads - are you prepared to spend days and days on the phone to potential clients?

    Not an easy way to make money - I can assure you - it looks easy.

    Anyone considered starting an Agency? :-)

    Hi all,

    Has anyone ever tried setting up their own agency ? to flush out some of the useless ones (ie. dataworkforce) At least we'd know what we are talking about so should be able to filter out the *******.
