Does ION expect investigators who receive referrals to give special sub-contractor or “ION Member” rates to clients who are other investigators and/or ION Members?
A. No! Investigators can charge whatever they want as long as the client agrees and it is done properly. If your rate is high enough for you to allow the referred client a special rate and still make enough to cover costs and a reasonable profit, there is no problem with offering clients special deals. We don’t want anyone to lose money on ION referrals and we never imply to members they will get special deals from other ION Members or referred investigators. Professionals should be paid adequately for professional work.
