I reckon you're a mug.
Mr A should have, at best, got a bottle of Scotch for Xmas and that was it.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think. -
This uncannily similar to a problem I had ten years ago.
I was Bonking this bird in Liverpool and she introduced me to her sister. I immediately started to kn0b the sister, but now I had a problem. what to give MsA ? 10%, 50% or nothing ?
So I carried on giving them both 100% , minus a bit for stagflation
hope this made-up-story has been helpful

10% commission on the total invoice value of the first piece of work for client "B". Unless you believe that "Mr A" will get you more work, then you should offer a discount on his future works, instead of a commission.Sval-Baard Consulting Ltd - we're not satisfied until you're not satisfied.
Nothing says "you're a loser" more than owning a motivational signature about being a winner.Comment

A consideration on the first piece of work maybe, but unless your friend is adding value on later efforts then that's been your own work gaining reputation with your client.Comment
