I have been giving a competitor referrals for tree work as I don't do trees. I also give referrals to a woman for weeding. I am as busy as I want to be doing lawn and hedge/shrub work. As of this moment I don't get squat for sending business to them. Should I be getting at least some fee for helping them find these jobs? They amount to hundreds of dollars in just the last week alone. It's my advertising dollars and my current customers that are providing this work that I don't choose to do to these sources. I am running a business and am not sure where the Mr. nice guy stops and the bottom line should take precedence. I'm beginning to feel like there should be something in this for me for referring the business. Comments appreciated.
