I would say it's bad form to ask for a referral fee after the fact. If you set something up in advance with this person, that's different. <br><br>Sam<br clear="all"><div><br><br><i><a href="http://new-media-solutions.com/drupal-training" target="_blank"></a></i><br>

<div>Hi Marc,<br>
Personally, as a developer, I've always given a referral fee to
someone that sends me a new customer on successful close of a
contract. I've never had anyone complain but i have gotten more
referrals.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
