Hello Everyone, First: I am working on bringing a professional appointment setter for commercial business. However I am having a tough time tracking down the payment/referral fee laws..They are a CA licensed producer but we are not going to appoint them with our company, rather just pay 1099 for their process of the sale. I know there are limits you can give a gift or referral in a lot of cases, however this is not a client but rather a business relationship.
Second: If in fact anyone knows the law for certain in CA and I can actually pay a licensed agent to do such work , I am working on the structure of pay, we expect to generate at least 30-40K in commercial premium at minimum. I was either thinking of going with a tiered system 15% for 0-20,000 dwp ... 20% for 20,000-40,000 dwp and 25% for 40K+ ? Or a flat across the board % .. Any Thoughts?
When I mention 25% I am referring to the percentage of the actual commission not the dwp
Another part I am having a hard time on determining is the charge back situation, I would of course hope any client we get on the book sticks with us but if for some unfortunate reason the company go's out of biz or they leave the state and the policy cancels prematurely in the first year I will get charged back and would have paid the percentage already..so also thinking of breaking it down so the 25% cut for example is broken down over 12 months..Half up front maybe , another half of that in 6 months and then the final payment at 12 months..Any thoughts?
