Just watch out closely for yourself and the business you've worked hard to create. I tried a few similar things thst just didn't pan out and a few that ended badly.
Can you be more descriptive on the "ended badly"?
I've been swapping jobs back and forth with this guy for the past several years.
-He sends me all his customers who need air duct cleaning, and sends me work when his employee isn't doing what a good employee should do...do the job.
-I send him all my customers who need pressure washing or window cleaning
That's been our agreement for several years now, and I've send him more customers on things like construction cleanup, stripping and waxing, and general house cleaning as well. I'm not worried about him stealing any of my customers, and I hope he feels the same way about me.
So I made him that offer on him dropping out of carpet cleaning and I just pay him commission on it.
