Where can I find an upwork agent?

Question

Freelance

We are a team of freelancers. The portfolio is huge, it's easy to sell us. How many times have we not been going to Western exchanges - we are constantly postponing this business. a dubious undertaking: the projects we are engaged in are larger than any trifle from freelancing, and it is quite difficult to "rock" your accounts on Western exchanges. Nevertheless, there is still a desire to try something.
Accordingly, the questions are:
- Does anyone know communities where you can find a Russian-speaking / English-speaking agent on upwork?
Can anyone recommend their own agents?
- If someone has experience working as an agent, tell us how to motivate such people to look for more "tasty" orders, and not work through everything?
- If anyone has experience working with agents on upwork, tell us how successful it is? Do you use the services of one agent or several at once?

Answer 1

This is called an intermediary on an intermediary ...
You are an intermediary, because. programmers work for
you You are looking for an intermediary who will give work to your company
And he, in turn, will look for clients for you on the upwork intermediary exchange, which takes a commission of 10% for its intermediary services The
total price tag for the end client / customer grows incredibly, and generally out of the blue, tk. the most important thing is the work of programmers, not intermediaries. And then we wonder why all the customers go directly to Vasya, a freelancer, a man-orchestra. Or why programmers don't stay at work.
Hmm..

Answer 2

i tried to sell teams , all teams are terrible
response to a request can take several days, not five minutes as it should be
completely commands do not work at any time of the day
do not work on weekends
teams cannot do some simple thing quickly here and now or at least today
the teams cannot guarantee the availability of free hours.

Answer 3

Sign up for UpWork and start selling yourself. But it will not be easy, the competition is huge, plus you need more recommendations. It is very important. If you have a team, then work in the local market. On UpWork, no one will wait until the team processes some kind of request, whoever is faster earns. I had one client from New York, so he hired several programmers for one task, who sawed the same files at the same time. And then he looked who is better. The rest were fired.
