Well you can take this in one of two directions. Number one ask for, in writing 2% to 4% of the total cost of the endeavor, yep the entire project. If the project is $200,000. then 2% would be $4000. and 4%,$8000., and so on, thats fair....Now you could also ask for a piece of the operating pie but thats very difficult to compute and to get. They always cry that their losing money...Now if you've already made a handshake deal you're stuck with it but you might be able to get a bonus by crying more work than you thought it would be. Hey, good luck... [Big Grin]
