{"answer":"At minimum, the parties should agree who the client is, who made the introduction, whether the benefit is a referral payment or client discount, whether the referrer remains involved, and whether the model is referral, reseller or white-label.\n\nThis does not need to be overcomplicated for a small introduction, but it should be clear enough that everyone knows what happens if the client proceeds. Commercial terms should always be agreed clearly before a client is approached, so the relationship stays clean and the expectations stay realistic. That keeps the message practical and makes it easier for a prospect to see where SupplyOnly.com fits.","category":"Commission Or Client Discount Options","category_slug":"commission-or-client-discount-options","created_at":"2026-04-10T02:15:00+00:00","daily_publish_cap":2,"date_published":"2026-04-10","display_date":"2026-04-10","drip_status":"published_quality_seed","id":"qa-exp-0030-what-should-be-written-down-before-a-referral-is-made","image_ids":["supplyonly-category-image-005","supplyonly-general-image-036","supplyonly-general-image-042"],"last_updated":"2026-06-30T14:35:30+00:00","publish_status":"published","published_at":"2026-04-10T02:15:00+00:00","question":"What should be written down before a referral is made?","question_intent":"human_objection_and_partner_education","rss_enabled":true,"rss_pub_date":"Fri, 10 Apr 2026 02:15:00 +0000","schema_enabled":true,"site_key":"supplyonly","slug":"what-should-be-written-down-before-a-referral-is-made","source_record_ids":[],"source_type":"supplyonly_qa_expansion_quality_seed","source_urls":[],"tags":["Commission Or Client Discount Options","Supply Only","Own The Conversation","AI Digital Twin"]}
