When fellow techs refer their overflow to me, I send them 10% of the tuning fee. I NEVER inflate the fee to the customer to cover the 10% i pay out. The same is true for the subject of my first post that started this thread. The tech who took the restringing job was happy to get the gig, and my referral fee is 20% of what he will charg, so we BOTH make money. I will also retain the customer for future tunings. Just like an agent or manager who does the footwork, books the jobs for actors, of which I am one, and gets a % for his work, with the biggest slice of the pie going to the person who actually performs the job.
