I too have more work coming in than I can take on. If I know someone who can do it, I'll recommend them on directly rather than letting them go through me. I don't gain financially but it generally breeds goodwill. I could take a referral commission (some acquaintances seem to do this), but again I fear I'd be somewhat on the hook if the other person screwed up. Plus, if customers refer me other customers, they don't take a cut either.
- jamesbritt 16y agoThat's what I've been doing. I don't like to leave people hanging, so I try to find someone who can take care of them. I also like that people feel they can come to me as a first point of contact when looking for a developer, that if I'm not available I'll (hopefully) point them to someone who is.
