We are offering a 20% finder’s fee for putting us in touch with a client
Over the last 6 years we have twice developed a relationship with someone who was able to work as a salesperson for us, working for commission only. Back in 2003, for instance, our friend Don Krug was able to bring us a small contract, for which we compensated him out of what we were paid.
We would like to develop a similar relationship with at least one other person. Ideally, we could find someone we like, who likes us. We’d ask you to read over some of the material we’ve written explaining our philosophy of how to handle a web start up. If you were that person, we’d hope you’d be able to faithfully represent our views.
If you could put us in touch with a client who eventually hired us and paid us to build a website, we would pay you a finder’s fee for bringing that client to us. In that situation, we would pay you 20% of what we are paid, with a maximum cap of $10,000. That is, for projects that pay us more than $50,000, we will pay you $10,000. For projects under $50,000, we will pay you 20% of what we are paid.
A few rules to keep in mind:
1.) You only get paid if we get paid.
2.) You get paid 90 days after we get paid.
3.) There are no circumstances where we will pay you more than $10,000 for introducing us to one client.
4.) You don’t need to do any more than tell us about client, though of course, since you don’t get paid unless we do, you would be wise to nurture the project.
5.) We reserve the right to reject any client. If we don’t take the work, then we don’t owe you anything.
6.) Any time or expense you incur to win a client is strictly your own affair. We will never reimburse any of your expenses. We will only pay you the finder’s fee, and you only get that if we ourselves get paid.
7.) To verify what we owe you, we will send you copies of the invoices we send the client.
We will accept any kind of work, but we are mostly interested in projects with initial budgets between $40,000 and $100,000. You should print out a copy of our essay “How much do websites cost?” and hand it to the potential client.
Our team includes the lead programmer who developed the iHanuam store for yoga videos. That project cost about $60,000 before it launched. If you bring us a project like that, we will pay you $10,000, after we ourselves get paid.
We developed the social network site The Second Road. That project cost over $100,000. If you put us in touch with a client like that, we will pay you $10,000, after we ourselves get paid.
