If Something's Not Working

Here's the scenario:

An agent's clients are too far away.

They are rude. (He is, too).

He doesn't listen to you.

And the company he works for doesn't pay well.

This is a no-brainer.

Drop him. Gently, but drop him. The next time he calls, tell him -- in a pleasant, businesslike fashion -- that you've done some evaluating, and you'll no longer be able to do any more work for him.

Give him the name and number of a competitor, and be done with it.

There's nothing that says you should allow yourself to be walked over. If something's not working, be done with it, and your life will be better for it.
