    Business agreements with other IT companies can be an excellent way to secure high quality referrals. When you are dealing within a B2B context, the referrals you get from non competing IT businesses tend to be ones that will turn into long term service contracts. This is exactly the kind of business you want.

    Are Your Meetings Smart?
    Soon after I finished a brief seminar on how to accomplish more in less time every day, Roger shook my hand and said, “I can use what you said. But there is one thing you didn’t talk about. It is something that drives me crazy. I can’t get anything done because I’m in meetings all day lo

    spot service contracts, then a $500.00 referral fee is not unreasonable.

    If the business agreement is passing on leads that are more one-time service call events (someone got their AOL disk stuck and you have to go over on a Saturday afternoon to fish it out and they balk at paying a $100 fee), then you really can't afford to pay any kind of referral fee.
