In our area there are several cleaners that bounce clients back andforth to each other on a regular basis.  We don't charge eachothera referal fee.

If you and the other cleaners exchange a simliar number of clients, and pay eachother a similar cut... It pretty much evens out.

I used to give out work many a time.......if the guy had his own equipment, and paid his own gas and chemicals........I paid out 75 % of the contract

I often get business from a fellow competitor, we get along well and have the following arrangement.
When he refers a customer that he doesn't have time for I try to fit them in if i can , If so i tell the customer that I am doing this as a favor to Tom and that if you were satisfied with Tom's cleaning before that you return to him next time if they so wish.

This way he has a chance to save a customer from slipping over to the other 20 cleaners in town and he may get them back again.

Same goes for me . I refer overbooks to him.

I bring him several packages of good steaks about 3 times a year out of appreciation.

It's all GOOD!

i'd give him 10% 
 
after all your doing him a favor;Wink
 
 
or    reverse the situation,
      if he were to help you out
      how much would you expect from him?
      then give the same ;
      the old do to others as you want done to you!Smokey

I am helping out another local carpet cleaner who overbooked himself.  How should we split the jobs?  His clients, my equipment, gas & chemicals.

I appreciate any suggestions you may have. Thanks!
