gardeners finders fees for tree work

[treequip]

Also if a gardener gave me a £1000 job i'd be happy to give them £200, better 80% of a grand than 100% of nowt?

 

 

If they want a slice out of the job, particularly a chunk that size, you need to know that going in so you can add it to the price, anything else is buying work in.

As long as you get to pocket your 80%.

 

Once you have given a cut to the bank, suppliers, labour costs, the tax man, Esso, and fixing the stuff you broke, you will probably walk away with less than the gardener.

 

 

 

Ohhhh, pass me the asprin.

Vespasian I have never taken or demanded a fee , if they are good horticulturalist know there job or a good hard landscaper I recommend them , I gave away enough work to probably keep three guys on full time and found the doors open both ways , if people are good they are always busy. If I see you in the pub I would buy you a drink and so would they ... I would rather be an expert in a Feild i know than a jack of all master of none.maybe I'm a fool for not giving it a try but I would rather pride myself in doing what I know well and keeping the customer happy by sharing the services of others that do too.

Yeah this was always my thought. Had it backfire once or twice when i have done a small job for someone i know and said 'get us a drink mate'. Finished job and they produce a four pack of Carlsberg.....ahhhh

 

Better than a tea bag.

I had similar once when a chap asked for the timber off a job. We said yeah for a drink my friend. Took the wood and I return we got tesco value bitter... think we left it in the grave yard where we were working.
