Steve, I did this once quite a few years ago. A local staffing company called to see if I would do Access training. I gave them 15% off my rate and they charged the client full price. It worked out well. However I never did do another contract with them, as whenever they called, I was always booked up, so I really don't if the trend would have continued. Just make sure the firm is reputable and has a few years under it's belt. A quick check of the BBB web site should also be on the to do list. If possible, talk to other consultants that have worked with them. Jim Dettman President, Online Computer Services of WNY, Inc.

Dear Group, Do any of you independent developers give finders' fees or have marketing arrangements with other firms to gain more clients? I ask because my wife, Janet, and I are meeting with the owner of an employee staffing company on Thursday to talk about it. We're going to offer to give 15% of our development fees up to $10,000 and 10% over $10,000 for any new business we get from riding on the staffing company's coat tails. We've been struggling for almost 9 months and we could use a boost from an established firm's customer list.
