"Under the advice of AgentBase we ran a 3 month campaign and received 40-50 responses. AgentBase helped us achieve our objectives. I would recommend this service."
"A quick response, good quality agents. I was able to cherry pick. What I needed I got - well motivated, professional agents. Having never used agents before, I would never have been able to cover the country without the skills and expertise at AgentBase. If I need to replace my agents at anytime I know where to come."
"We have had a fantastic response to our advert in AgentBase. The most impressive aspect has been the quality of the applicants. We have been introduced to several very senior, well connected and experienced people. In addition, the model agency contract has given us a great starting point for commercial discussions and has been well received by our agents."
"It was a lot better than I expected! We are very happy with the service from first point of contact to publication, good customer service. We had (several) responses in the first few days, direct from the advert, and some forwarded through the free reader response service. If we need Sales Agents again we will definitely use AgentBase."
"We have been delighted with the efficiency, economy and quality of response obtained by using AgentBase. We are already considering using them again."
"Thanks for a nice work your company has done for us! We have ongoing discussions with potential sales agents now, and as our advert is still valid 2 months more we hope to find some agents more. I like your customer focused attitude!"

"We have been advertising with AgentBase for 2 months in the Website & Magazine and have had over 20 responses so far. AgentBase were initially brought to my attention by an existing agent. Because of their Website & Magazine they are seen as the source for attracting Sales Agents. The service provided has been professional and I would not hesitate in using them again."
"Having our company based in the Isle of Man meant our direct contact with retailers was not as we would wish. But with the help of a 3 month campaign with AgentBase we were able to secure agents across the UK and Scotland who will be able to introduce our Daftducks TM Brand directly to retailers within their areas. The staff at AgentBase are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and proved a great help when setting up our advert. We would have no hesitation in using AgentBase in the future to further increase our now existing range of Agents."

"When I first heard of sales agents i thought it was a scam! I spoke to other people who used AgentBase and decided to go ahead.

I have no doubt that if you want sales agents, then AgentBase is the place to go."

"Thanks for a really great session last week (Agent Strategy Consultation). It was very valuable and worth every penny. You were very professional and really have given us a full overview of this selling route."
"We are pleased to say that the agents that we secured for the UK market through your agency have worked out extremely well ... and your recommendations in respect of working with them, and the commission rate that should be given, is working. At the initial meeting that we had, you were able to explain the logic of agents, their thinking from both their own view, and that of companies that they worked for, proved to give us a good guidance when negotiating with people. As we moved onto the advertisements on your website and magazine, the response ... produced the quality of people that we wanted... Following your initial interviews with the people, we moved on to face-to-face meetings, which proved a good result for our company. We would have no hesitation in recommending to other organisations the use of your agency."
"AgentBase were hard working and professional. They did exactly what they said they would do, when they said they would do it. Recruiting agents is a very difficult and specialised process, I would not have liked to try it without them. The process was arduous, time consuming and expensive, but it did help me to see aspects of my business in a new light. Sales agents are not the answer to everyones' problems but if you're going down that road, AgentBase should be your guide."
"AgentBase were professional, highly motivated and completely customer focused. Recruitment of Sales Agents is a difficult and challenging process, AgentBase are the right people to guide you down that road."
"We consulted AgentBase to obtain independent marketing advice prior to the launch of a new venture. We were very impressed by the depth of analysis carried out and successfully acted upon the advice given. Interestingly, the advice was not to use the services offered by AgentBase but to employ our own marketing team ! I recommend any business wanting independent marketing advice to contact AgentBase."
"I have engaged AgentBase to assist me in both recruiting agents and in advising me on existing agents contracts. The advice received from Paul in both cases was precise, insightful and led to strategic decisions being taken based on facts rather than guesswork. I would recommend AgentBase to anyone who is considering employing agents or who has existing agent contracts that need to be reviewed. A consultation with Paul Brown contributed to the development of a new strategy that resulted in significant improvements to our sales structure."
"The team were impressed by the consultation and consider it good value for money. It is taking us longer to get to market than we thought, but this is positive because if we had tried to go to market without the consultation I am sure we would have failed and not realised why we were failing. Now we have a much better appreciation on both a theoretical and practical basis. Thanks for your continuing help, with the international and legal information."
"Dear Paul, Thank you for your telephone call this morning, and I have pleasure in forwarding my subscription renewal cheque as promised. I have derived much pleasure from AgentBase, and consider you are doing a wonderful job. Agents need people of your calibre very badly. There is no substitute for opportunity, and you do your level best to provide it. Wishing you all that’s good for you! Yours sincerely. Ken, Sales Agent"
"This is the second time we have used AgentBase and it has been very successful, Dealing with AgentBase was a pleasure. I feel that they offer a superior service and calibre of sales agent and would recommend them to others. In addition, their speed of response and understanding of our requirements was very good."
"AgentBase assisted us when we took the decision to outsource the Agent recruitment process. We worked very closely with the MRS recruitment team to ensure a successful outcome. We found AgentBase to be professional and committed to the success of our project."
"AgentBase took time to fully understand my Sales Agents recruitment requirements before embarking on the Managed Recruitment Service (MRS) process. I found them to be both friendly and professional."
