  • Finders fee for referrals

    A local auto electronics shop contacted me about detailing for them. They currently do it in-house, but are looking to sub it out. We would like to have an arrangement where they just refer the customers to me directly and I would pay a finders fee to them. Does anyone here have an opinion on a fair number, probably a % of the job price? We discussed options of paying a larger fee for the first job, then any repeat business would have no fee. The other option is to pay a smaller fee each time the customer returns.

    Why not do it for them at there location? As long as the number add up either way is a win for you as I see it. 10-15% would seen to be a fair number.

        I do this with all my customers. I offer 10% or a free basic wash, but the wash, they have to come to me. I'll mail or deliver the 10% cash referral fee in a gift card, check or money order. It costs me less than today's prices of advertising. I have partnered up with many repair & body shops, dealerships, glass shops and of course my regular customers. It's fun and I rarely get a basic wash so I like that.
