I get 50% right now on spa services, 40% on chem peels, etc. So on a PM procedure where I am doing the work, what should his cut be (BTW, I pay my own taxes and insurance too) Thanks, MaryT ---------- Mary Turner, L.C.,C.L.T,M.T.

((thnks a lot brandy))LOL

I would be happy paying him 30% of every PM tx to cover supplies and advertising. Thanks, Mary ---------- Mary Turner, L.C.,C.L.T,M.T. Clinical Esthetican http://www.maryturner.net

But- I buy my own supplies, and I do a lot of my own advertising as well, so that has to be taken into account. And the road ends with the first client. If they send me a referral from their advertising or their office, the first one gets 30%. If she sends a friend- that's my client not theirs and they only get 154% of the friend. Hope that helps- ---------- Stay beautiful, :)udy

NancyH 12 post s 19-Mar-2008 3:51 PM	I work for a plastic surgeon and we split 50/50 and he pays for everything. Now i did have my own business and was well estalished before working with him but... Sometimes I think I want more.
McTat 5 post s 19-Mar-2008 6:37 PM	Maybe consider a set dollar amount per client. That way the Dr is compensated and you feel like you are getting your fair share for your hard work and expertise. Come up with an agreeable amount proir to beginning and also consider touch-ups. I pay him on their initial visit but not at a touch-up visit since I am not charging at that visit. I am including 2 touchups within 1 year of their procedure. Possibly consider what you would have to pay at another place for leasing space and maybe pay him per client up to a certain amount. I am new at this also and this has worked for us.
facecrafter 623 post s 19-Mar-2008 7:25 PM	I wouldn't split 50/50 with a doc unless he gave ME 50% of his business when I brought a patient to HIM. And yes, I bring them in to them as well. Fair's fair. ---------- Be well and beautiful, :)udy judy@facecrafter.com www.facecrafter.com 941-351-1333 RevitaLash! Get Longer-Thicker-Darker Lashes. And, fill in Brows too!
