PSA: paying a partner agency on flat referral fees beat our 15 percent split by a lot
We ran a small test with two partner shops in Austin starting in March, giving one a flat $500 per closed lead and the other our usual 15 percent cut. The flat fee shop sent us 9 leads in 60 days while the percentage shop sent 2, mostly because the flat deal was easier for their sales team to explain. Curious if anyone here has tried flat fees on a bigger scale and what broke for you.
