Whenever someone asks you for a commission in exchange for marketing your product or service, it is basically an affiliate or referral program. This can be one of most powerful forms of marketing because it promotes word-of-mouth marketing. Who better to refer clients or customers to you than someone who fully understands value of services you have to offer?

Often these people are your current satisfied customers, or as is case with this question, they may be strategic partners.

Either way, it is important to make sure it is a win-win situation for both sides.
