solidworks >> FInders fee

by Ben Eadie » Wed, 01 Mar 2006 02:09:50 GMT

A competitor of mine gave me some work that he could not handle recently
and we are not sure what sort of finders fee or percentage of work done
should be given to him. I was thinking 5% of work done?

What have you other consultants done in this scenario?

My company get 4% of any bits of cash that goes through its hands.

If you are not on contract with your competitor for the work he gave you,
then you legally owe him nothing. However, if you want him to think of you
first whenever he needs an extra hand, you should give him some type of
finders fee. Your finders fee doesn't have to be a percentage of the work
done, but could be a flat fee.

I have found that 3% to 4% is a typical finder's fee in most industries.

Make sure you are paid first - he may of just laid off a bad client
onto you :-) - but 5% should do it - like others have said - he will
think of you next time.

If he is truly a competitor, go ahead and pay him.
If he is a 'colleague' , he shouldn't ask for a finders fee,
and maybe you will return the favor some day.

I have a couple of independent contractor 'colleagues', that hand over
extra work to each other without fees.


Just my 2 cents

3. My Skill Finder is broken 

Hello all! I am having problems trying to use the Skill Finder in a
fresh IC5.10.41_USR5.90.69 installation (on Centos4). When I start the
Finder (either by using the CIW menu option Tools->Skill Development-
>Finder or by entering startFinder() in the CIW) it loads but the
following message appears:

"WARNING: No Finder information was loaded. Please refer to
troubleshooting section of Help information or consult a system
administrator."

So I logically try to use the "Help" menu on the loaded Finder, but a
further warning appears:

"WARNING: Failed to open the Finder Help file - The specified tag file
does not exist."

What's worse, even though cdsdoc loads and is able to detect the help
document hierarchy, it is unable to interact correctly with my browser
(Firefox), so I cannot use the search utility.

Thanks in advance for any help on how to overcome this problem.

Jorge.
