Who uses agents?

Im allready a CDA repair agent, but I want do add a few more strings to my bow.
Could anyone tell me who still use agents for repair instead or as well as their own engineers?
Thanks.

Re: Who uses agents?

go to http://www.cda-europe.com

It’s a massive company based in Nottingham, mainly integrated white goods.
They have their own engineers but occaisonaly they use agents.
I have done lots of work for them in the past over a long period of time and I have recently set up my own company and they have continued to use me.
I love doing it, it pays well and their customer care team are fantastic and very helpfull!
I have got to know the girls in customer care on a fairly personal level (without actualy meeting them).

It would actually be easier to as, who doesn’t use agents? Then ask, who have I got a chance with for some work?

For both questions, area and skillset will determine the result along with who’s already doing it.

For agency work there’s a lot of hoops to jump through if you want to have a chance at it. :rolls:

And, that’s just the start of the process.

I agree Kwatt,
I only got in with CDA because I was the only engineer of the previous company I was with which did their work which was set up by their current rep who we were on good terms with. I have tried with other companys for agent work and got nowhere.
It’s not un common for a last minuite phone call from CDA asking me to do a days work tomorow because they have an engineer down.
I jump to it every time as I really want their work and I have them at the top of my priority as they do send me plenty of work which I need because I have zero’d my cliant base after jumping ship.
CDA will always be a priority to me as long as they continue to use me.

i used to be an agent for SMEG but they were terrible at paying up so i quit with them. excellent 45{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} discount on parts but that was about as good as it got.
