I put the cart before the horse, and posted before I read.

Please scratch that last post, but not with a nickel on your monitor, as it will not work.

Geese I have to much time on my hands.

Anyways thanks for letting me post my opinion.

Thanks for the award on my comment.

Yes I am interested in the definition of a scratchie as well.

As I posted the card this morning, I walked back to my house, answered my mobile phone, and I had a call from the said guy with another 2 Referrals!!

AUSTRALIAN LINGO

Scratchie ~ Instant Scracth-It Ticket

It is a small card, that would fit in the palm of your hand. It has lotto, or bingo numbers hidden under a mettalic panel. You get a coin and rub off the panel, to find out if you win. A $1 scratchie may win $100 000 ~ but never does.

Here is a link to the web site where you can see them ~ http://www.goldencasket.com/instant_scrat

When anyone does something that helps my company to bring in profit, I try my best to return the favor.

I have found some in business will take advantage of someones good nature.

I have reffered several clients that were needing services outside my scope of abilities to other companies.

Unfortunately they were not as greatful as you, and thought nothing of it. One of the clients I reffered has brought the business thousands upon thousands of dollars.

I did ask for a referral fee, or a return referral. No payment, no referral in return, not so much as a thank you email. Rest assured my next referral will not go to them.

I do not believe a stipen is appropriate unless it was/is requested, but this might be a little unprofessional. Unprofessional if in the form of a cash allotment. There are other ways to pay back financially, without giving money to them.

How is this company doing on its marketing budget? Can your business help them reach thier market?

If so this might be the best thank you any business good ask for.

As many people have already stated I would not give money. Bestowing some type of gift may be a nice gesture but the most important thing is to do a great job on the project you received. This will build your associates standing with the client and help build their business relationship, something every business person wants.

I think Luckiest hit the nail on the head. You at least do what you would like for someone to do for you but never money. I try to give people something I know reflects an interest. I got a lead from a friend who is learning to play the guitar, so I gave him some really nice picks. Once, a person I gave a lead to bought me a comic book, I collect them. I have never forgotten that.

You get the picture.

I agree with several other replies -- a handwritten thank you note (today), and then look for an opportunity over the next few months to do something equally thoughtful, helpful, or beneficial for your associate in return.
