14/03 Another Chance at Labrador Project

Today Jacqueline has sent me her quote for the Labrador Project and I’ve forwarded it to Leong.

However, Leong has received a much cheaper quote from another contractor, so he asked me to check with Jacqueline’s side whether they are able to do it at that same price, and he is willing to share with them how to do the job at a lower cost.

Grateful for the 2nd chance Leong given to them, I called Jacqueline up and ask her about her projected margin and my commission she was planning to give me

Over the phone, she revealed her margin was only about 20%, out of which she has planned 10% as my commission if the deal is closed.

That’s where I told her, to take away my commission amount 1st in order to reduce their risk, as they are the ones with overheads and cost to cover, not me whom has nothing to lose

At 1st she refused, saying that she cannot take out my commission as it was what she promised. Then I simply told her “secure the job 1st. After your side is able to secure enough profit for your side then we talk about my com”

Well, I did what I can. The rest is up to the discussion between Jacqueline’s team and Leong tomorrow.

Em Yeu, let’s wish them luck!
