LOW RANKED COMPANIES

NOT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED MOVING COMPANIES

(LOW RANKED)

If AGMC judges that it does not have the information necessary about your moving company to highly recommend your company, and if none of the top AGMC highly recommended companies are available on the customer's requested moving date, AGMC can still refer a customer to a "lower ranked" "lesser known" company with the specification to the customer that AGMC knows only a little bit about this company and that the customer would be dealing with that referred company at their own risk.  

If AGMC has heard that most of that company's customers have been satisfied, AGMC could add that comment.  In this case, AGMC would just give the customer that company's phone number and have the customer call that company directly to set up their own appointment.  AGMC would also give that company the customer's name, desired date, phone number and possibly some basic job info.  That company would then book their own appointment details talking directly with the customer, and do their own job estimation and price explaining with the customer.  These kind of customer referrals would require the company providing or renting their own truck and conveying all their fees to their customers.

  The good side of this deal is that the low ranked company would owe AGMC only a $12/mhr "customer referral" fee (not a "booking" fee, because AGMC will not have fully booked the job appointment).     

This same $12/mhr referral fee would apply to two-hour-minimum jobs, (12x4=$48), and there would be no training session two-hour-minimum discounts on referral fees.

  This would not be considered a "booking fee" because AGMC would not have booked the job appointment, and AGMC would have no expectations about the quality of work, policies, equipment or communication. The down side of this deal would be that the customer referral fee would need to be paid to AGMC by Venmo immediately upon the customer's payment clearing (judging by the payment form declared on the invoice picture texted to AGMC at the end of the referred job). 

 Each customer referral would need to be paid for (and documented by the job invoice texted to AGMC) by the company before getting a next referral for a next customer.  Delaying payment delays the next customer referral.   This means, in order to qualify for these "book your own" referrals, there can be no overdue money owed to AGMC from previously unpaid fees.  This allows there to be no "tally" of multiple previous fees that needs to be known, no Transaction Log needed, and only the last invoice that needs to be looked at.

The other downside of this customer referral method is that by getting only the "spill over" jobs that can't be taken by the higher ranked companies, the frequency of customer referrals would be much less, likely sporadic, possibly rare, hard to tell.  This is part of that company's choice to operate like this.   For this reason, if a low ranked company ever complains to AGMC about low job frequency by asking "where's the jobs", or "send me jobs" or such, AGMC will no longer answer that company's phone calls and all customer referrals will end.  The jobs will be what ever the jobs will be.  For this reason, it is suggested that a moving company on the AGMC "Lower Ranked" list only try to get jobs thru AGMC to fill in a few holes in their schedule that is otherwise booked from jobs from a different source.
