tricky situation...but how could I exploit it...???

I was waiting to sign new contract, but by mistake pimp to client contract mailed to me instead of my ltd company contract!!. Now I can see around 20% margin is taken on my contract. When I asked agency they said they have 'open book' policy with client. I have direct contact with client manager and talked to him directly many times when I couldn't get prompt response from the pimp recently. He too calls me if any response needed urgently.

What should I do...??? How could I exploit this situation best way to my advantage ..?? Any one faced similar sitn..? What all are my options here...?

I understand 20% is at the higher end of commission...?? We are talking here about a global telecom client and pimps also claims to be a 'global enterprise'.

Try.......negotiating with the agency.

Be prepared to walk though, if you are serious about it.

+1, Tell the pimp you're happy with 10% otherwise you will flounce

if it's a renewal, which you seem to be implying, then I'd argue the case that the pimp didn't have to do any work for this contract, so you want to reduce his share......but they won't be happy so be prepared to play hardball and walk or take the current contract if you have to

[MrMarkyMark]

FTFY

For lessons in finishing contracts early, involuntarily, contact Suity. HTH.

As I said you have these conversations with the agent.
