Good points guys.
It is an internet driven business (getting to beta testing soon). He just happens to know a lot of people who could use the service. Problem with straight comission is how to figure out what lead was his and what was just someone hearing about it and joining themselves.
The other issue is finding a c good customer service software/plugin thingy (ya - I am not the technical person) to be able to make sure he is handling all the customer interactions on a timely basis.
But I believe that a person needs to keep his end of a bargain and when I first started thinking about this idea, I ran it by him and we were supposed to work together on it. But he couldn't handle the internet development, etc. So I had to bring someone in and eat into what I was sort of thinking of giving him. But he wants to be an artist and is working on being discovered so I am just concerned he totally checks out during the day to do his art stuff instead of promote the business and if his art takes off he may spend his time to do that only and expect some continued returns (which would piss me off).
So I am just trying to find a way to limit the potential damage. Yes, I am the majority owner and nothing has been signed by anyone yet.
