Revenue-share pricing models only make sense when the vendor directly influences conversion across multiple touchpoints; otherwise fixed retainers are more appropriate.

We noticed in our post-purchase surveys that he was driving a fair amount of new customers... we looked in the survey and he's actually driving customers to us. We should reach out and see about doing something more solid together.
