Hi everyone!

Our agency has been working hard to break into the huge medical market here in our area for both web design and SEO. Our last client was from a referral from a guy who has about 15-20 years experience in the medical community here. He used to work at the local hospital doing IT work and now has a computer business w/ 80% of his clients in the medical field.

We want to pay him a referral fee for sending us qualified leads. He'll actually talk to the doctors (who listen to him) and then give us the name/number so we can follow up.

What is that worth - 5% or 10%? We've paid commissions in the past to freelancers, etc...but they always do some kind of work - getting copy, providing artwork, etc. I just don't know what the "going rate" is.

Thanks for your help!
