No, I don't think so, That plumber is wrong for requesting 10% of your sales. He should know better than that. Do you charge him 10% of his sales when you refer him? That's bull crap.
I refer people all the time, I don't expect them to pay me a referral fee. How rediculous. I do it simply for the fact that I hope they will pass the favor on to me and let the chain continue.
That plumber got greedy and now he will have to learn the hard way about how to conduct an honest business. Thanks to you. You did the right thing. Lets just hope the plumber learned something now that the owner is upset.
