Confessions with Jess and Cindy

Referral Fees: Breaking the Taboo in Nonprofit Consulting


Listen Later

You know that feeling of dread when someone asks you to do unpaid work? That sinking sensation that you're being taken advantage of, yet again? Well, if you're a nonprofit consultant, requests for free labor might hit a little too close to home.

But what if there was a way to turn those asks into opportunities to get properly compensated for your expertise? In this refreshingly candid discussion, we pull back the curtain on a topic that's often brushed under the rug: referral fees.

Key Highlights:

  • How to reframe your mindset around monetizing referrals, breaking free from the "martyr mentality" that plagues the nonprofit sector.
  • Practical tips for initiating referral fee conversations upfront, setting clear expectations with potential partners.
  • Specific percentage structures Jess and Cindy implement
