Hey everyone,
I was approached by a digital marketing agency about the idea of producing design work for their clients. They wanted to test using freelancers before putting together a inhouse team. After a brief chat and sending examples of my work I received this:
Your rates would be paid in full, minus 15% that would be given to the sales person responsible for earning you the business. I hope you understand this has to be in place else there'd be no incentive for the sales team to encourage our clients to commission this work alongside their digital marketing platforms and services with us.
Has anyone come across this before? I wouldnt have a problem if it was work found through an agent, however the work created belongs to them and the design will sit alongside the digital marketing strategy the client has already been paid for. Why should I pay for their staff to do their job?
