mjbaba: Gbam He should consider he bought the job. 30% is top limit and 15 is min. It can only be 10 if the person is not expecting a kick back and if the entire net profit is like his chicken change. The 10 can even be in form of gifts. 1 Like |

Teespice:most women are ingrates towards men; they hardly reward a man that helps them because to most ladies, they believe that it is their birthright for men to help them, so when u help a lady as a man, she believes u the man don't deserve any reward because you are supposed to help her So relatively, the op is acting like an average lady 1 Like |

I feel this guy is not saying all that ensue between them, this part is just to favor him, but still, he sound greedy and ungrateful we need to read the other guy narrative. |

@Driggs I understand why he wants more from what u wrote up there your initial estimate was far less and he gave u few details and told you to up your bid. Naturally he feels entitled to the added sum. I'd say just add a bit more and be grateful, the contract world is mostly through connect so if you have someone loyal you'll always get something in the future. On a future date always add something extra to your cost estimate to sort things like this even though you won't tell him. That way your profit will remain intact. Best of luck bro. |

I had an experience close to this. A friend once connected me to someone for job and ended up asking for 45% of my wage. I managed to do 35%, which he eventually agreed to collect. Twasnt cool with me at all. Fast forward to years later, this same friend needed my help in some way. You know what happened? I ended up getting around 40% of the deal too! Na karma รณ. 2 Likes |

Next time Op always i repeat always discuss business terms and avoid unnecessary troubles.. Even ur brother or father can become an enemy when terms are not clearly defined. Your friend expects more from u do more for future sakes.. Let it be a sacrifice on your part. But next time always define the terms surrounding any contract u get from anyone. People get killed or maimed over little money just because they refused to define the terms & conditions surrounding the biz... I turned down a venture which would have been profitable to me because of the history me & that friend shared way back uni days when we ventured into biz together.. I had already agreed but on getting home i quickly saw through the juicy offer. Always see past the cover.. No be wetin dem discuss when dem dey raost goat naim them dey discuss when time reach to share am ooo! |

What if Withholding Tax was charged and you forgot to add to your expenses , it, what if you got your supplies from a more expensive place which will take a huge chunk of expected profits.

Fxwarrior:I support you. Besides, the friend even advised him to increase his quotation which he did. That should urge OP to do more. That addition offsets part of what you are giving back even though we don't know the proportions. |

why are people so greedy... why...? Bros pls how can I have your number? I give 20% commission on total value. or 50/50 profit sharing. I am serious. sometimes I make a loss just to satisfy my referral. Now I have many contracts...left right and centre...people can't see beyond their noses! quote author=Gboom post=74635279]Greedy people everywhere. I help a man to secure a borehole contract that worth 7.5m and he gave me 10,000 naira afterwards. When I asked him why 10000, he said I didn't tell to input my own in the the contract sum. I later found out the contract sum for that kind of job is not more than 4.5m [/quote] |

Re: A Friend Referred Me For A Contract, I Gave Him 10% But He Wants More. (PICS) by cynacob25: 7:59am On Jan 11, 2019 |
Good morning house, there is minimum of 30% (some will tell you it is 50-50) of any amount you receive which goes to the management that gave you a contract to work on which is called "legal and statutory". so bros, you need to ask your self this question: 1. did you give money to anyone apart from your friend as appreciation for getting the job? if no, then you are expected to pay him 30% because the money will be shared among the management staff that ensure you get the contract but if you have done the legal and statutory payment, then what you have given him is enough because he will get some cut from the management as well. The reason we don't get contract is because we consider ourselves alone and forgetting the management when charging for a contract. a management will prefer to give someone asking for 25,000,000 a contract than someone asking for 3,000,000. because they would have calculate their cut and consider the one that will favor them as management. |

Justbeingreal:why him no implement the contract since he's hardworking Come and carry me from the mention Lazy entitled dolt When did commission pass 10% If he build substandard building that collapse on your children's head because he is settling commission that's when you will know that greed kills |
Re: A Friend Referred Me For A Contract, I Gave Him 10% But He Wants More. (PICS) by cynacob25: 8:28am On Jan 11, 2019 |
mikolo80:Good morning bro, i went for a contract and requested for 18,000,000 but the management said they will pay 13,000,000 on getting to legal and statutory phase ( i mean their share) they requested for 40% of the money and i held my ground by saying if it is 40% they want my asking price stands at 18,000,000 and the contract was awarded because have done my underground work and include the legal and statutory fee together with what am charging. so don't forget, you might have met one person but there are others behind the scene. the person you see is regarded as visible which constitute (20%) while the other people behind the scene are the hidden and constitute 80%. |

cynacob25:Hmmm another angle But the 'friend ' should've discussed all this at the beginning like you did so he will know it's business not help. I can settle 90% if business calls for it as 10% is better than nothing But if it's appreciation I will not give pass 10% as it is customary Even first republic politicians were known as 10 percentErs that made nzeogwu kill them 10 percent o |
