BizSugar.com › Sales › A Fair Referral Fee?

I had a reader send me an email with the following scenario and question— “I've identified a sales lead. The CEO of the fulfillment firm and the COO of the company I referred are engaged and talking. There's a good chance this lead will result in new business for the fulfillment company. My fault for not negotiating a referral fee upfront. I do have a prior relationship with the CEO and he wants to do the fair thing as much as I do.”
