Title: sub contract work
Post by: creweexcel on February 06, 2008, 11:58:48 am

if i was to ask a mate of mine who does carpet cleaning if he would do work for me generated from my website i am having built, would he be offended if i asked 20% of his earnings?

10-15% would be more appropriate 20 is too high

hey i'd do it and give you a 20% cut, I'd rather have a extra 80% that i was'nt going to get. than 85% or 90% of nothing

just pass the 20% on to the customer or at least some of it.

Ifts cost you to generate work I would like to think your mate would be more then happy to let you take a slice.

Hi Guys

A lot depends on how much you are doing.

If you are quoting/getting the job then a higher percentage is justified but if you are putting the sub contractors number on advertising and letting him quote etc, then a lower percentage is justified.

This is what I am currently doing on my websites and charging 10 %

Cheers

Doug
