[consulting] Referral Fees?

[Cameron Eagans]

If a client tells me that somebody referred them, I personally give that
person a kickback <http://cweagans.net/blog/2010/10/29/free-money-real>,
even if they don't ask for it. It's a great way to drum up more business.

Not sure if there's a "norm" for this, though.
