I have found myself out of work, but with some potentially valuable knowledge of customers and vendors. I recently introduced two companies that may strike a deal. The vendor offered to cut me in on the deal for doing the introduction. I guess this would be called a “finders fee”.
Since I already did the introduction without discussing compensation my negotiating leverage is poor, but there will probably me similar opportunties in the future. I have no idea of what the customary compensation for something like this is. Any guidance?
