Years ago when I owned and operated my own gravel truck, I had to find my own work and much preferred this over going through a broker who wanted 30% off the top with long pay outs.



The trick with the long pay outs is so that the Broker is able to use at his discretion my money.

There's no way I would work through a broker when I know that business cards and advertising work so well. And George your right when you say that your man contracted through your brokerage would surly get direct contact with the booking client and get the next job direct.

When I ran my appliance repair, started from home fixing up washers and dryers, after that first sale a mole hill soon grew into a mountain of clientèle, one happy customer soon tells a friend or relative. Next thing you know you have more work than you can handle, yea you could broker out the extra work, but not on my good name and reputation.
