So I'm going to potentially be in business with someone that I know and they will be giving me some clients but from what I can tell the proposed commission structure is a percentage wise of the current retainer that I charge every month and seems to go into perpetuity which seems excessive. My line of thinking was to counter offer, 10% every month for the next 12 months then the referral finishes after that. So if I charge $1,000 a month for example, they get $1,200 at the end of the year in total and nothing else after that.
Any advice on the most fair way to go about this? The way I look at it is that they provided me value and I'm going to pay for it, but seems unreasonable to pay for it forever. Once a favour is done it's done.
