    Maybe it's a good time to get out there and start selling your own ideas? You're the talent the client wants to buy, these other guys just found you first. You'd have the opportunity to pitch your vision, and the direct client interaction to know when that vision was just not what was going to work for the clients needs.

    Also these other guys are totally billing you out for at least double what they're paying you, so there could be more money in it on your own.

    A logo book sounds like a good way to sour the relationship. I'd leave that bridge un-burned but recognize that you might be at a point in your career where you need to develop more business on your own, and where you can present your ideas directly. Nobody is going to understand them as well as you, so you've got to present.

    • Worked on a few pitches over the weekend, sent today, not clinching my butt over it, but it's a good habit to continually sell and develop a CRM, I've been lazycanoe
