We just told him we were insulted he wanted us to sign a piece of paper and if he wanted to work with us, he was just going to have to trust us. It worked in our case.
You obviously had a strong bargaining position relative to your agent. Why not use it to ask for a reduction (rebate) in commissions, instead of trust?
I was prepared to let him walk. He really had offended us.
This doesn't seem to be an answer to Wei Dai's question.
I parse the given answer as "because the social status was worth more to me than a monetary discount". (Though 'because I didn't think of it' might be a more strictly accurate answer.)
The comment misunderstands what was going on. I wasn't trying to manipulate him into doing anything. I just didn't want to sign his piece of paper.
