i was wondering if any of the freelancers on this board work with marketing / sales people who bring them work. if you do, what kind of commission do you set aside for them? is it worked into your hourly rate, or added on top of your estimate?
thanks!

hmmm. i actually have a friend who is a fine wine distributor who sells to A LOT of the nice places around and in chicago. I tell her after she makes a sale to ask about a re-desing of menus or a web site. she drops my name and gives them a card if interested and if i get the gig because of her i give her 40%. sounds like a lot i know but it gives her incentive to push my skills.
i do know most pro places that get you work will charge in the vicinity of 25%
