I've got a bit of silliness with agents and I'm not sure what is the best way to handle it
Agent A called and said he wanted to send my CV over to the client. He was a bit of a jerk , repeatedly asking me if I could handle something that was listed as a core skill. He called me the next day to say he was going to send the CV. I'm fairly certain I never sent a written confirmation that he represents me, but I am certain that I told him so over the phone.
Agent B called and talked to me about a role, it sounded perfect for my skills. He was really excited until we figured out that it is the same role as I already confirmed with Agent A. I was ready to leave it at that, but Agent B seems determined to send me through. A day later, he calls again and says he has confirmed with the client that they do not have my CV. Agent B says "It's up to you. I'm going to send over confirmation of representation and you can ping it back to me"
I don't want to be involved with these silly games, but I would also like my CV to get in front of the client.
What should I do? I'm thinking of sending the email back with something like "I confirm that Agent B can represent me until Agent A asserts his right for representation"
What's the worst that can happen if these two agents get into a conflict? The client will get tired and bin my CV? I can't imagine being liable for any damages.
Suggestions please....
