Introducer partnerships & referral fees — illustrative scenarios

5 illustrative situations for introducer partnerships & referral fees, with preparation questions and considerations. These are not actual client cases or promised outcomes.

Illustrative scenarios, not client case studies.

These examples explain situations worth discussing. They are not records of actual clients, approvals, quotations or completed transactions. Any outcome would depend on an individual assessment.

Illustrative scenario 04

Evidence focus: Let the client control the introduction

A professional introducer is considering introducer partnerships & referral fees. The brief includes your role and firm and a separate question about type of client need. The simplest route is to share my contact details and let the client get in touch. The evidence and the decision need to be considered together rather than in isolation.

Illustrative scenario 05

Decision point: Client's consent to introduction

A professional introducer is preparing for introducer partnerships & referral fees, but the information about client's consent to introduction changes while a question about preferred update arrangements remains unresolved. The earlier outline is updated, the original focus is reconsidered and the next step is agreed using the current facts.

The wider assessment

Let the client control the introduction

The simplest route is to share my contact details and let the client get in touch. With their express consent, an introducer can send a minimal initial summary. Detailed documents and sensitive information should use the agreed secure process.

Do not share a client's documents or contact details without authority. Any referral arrangement and benefit should be disclosed appropriately.
