    Good luck with that one.

    Clients: Already paying a premium (in their eyes) why pay more? Its probably all been signed off at original price so theres no money. Rightly or wrongly this is the rate they will pay forever.

    Agency: Got the money rolling in now. They are going to guard that margin with their life.

    As others have said, only way to get a rise is to get both parties to believe you will actually leave.

      The worst thing where you ask for an uplift and don't get it.

      Then spend the rest of the contract absolutely hating your agent and losing motivation.

        Which is why you HAVE to be prepared to walk upon not getting the raise. And to say pitching that is sensitive, is an understatement.

          The worst thing is when the agent gets you an uplift, tells you the client said no, and pockets all of it.

            The worst thing is getting and outcall from the missus and then finding out you're her 10th appointment that afternoon.... Unless that's your thing I guess.
