Client: Wow are things that bad? well we really do need some one in or we're fliped. Just make sure they're good
Telephone call 2
Agent: Unfortunately, due to the down turn in the economy a lot of companies are either relying purely on permament staff they already have or are shelving IT projects, however essential, till things pick up. As things are, this client is refusing to go above £200 per day, I'm really sorry, I've tried my hardest but i can't do anything to budge them.
Contractor: flip
