Are they commissions or kickbacks?
Every so often I see someone posting on Facebook, complaining about another vendor asking for a commission when they refer business. It’s always such a controversial subject and one that I’ve been addressing for years. As a matter of fact, I did two webinars on this, one with just venues and caterers and one with all suppliers. The links are below.
Listen to this new, 10-minute episode for some perspective on this from someone who’s seen this from many different perspectives.
Here’s the link to the webinar with only venues and caterers:
