Does the online referral site also require the payment of referral fees by investigators?
A.When an ION member is contacted by a potential client who learned of them online and the ION staff is not involved in making the referral, no referral fee is requested. All referrals made by the ION Staff as a result of ION’s telephone based “Investigators Anywhere Referral Line are subject to a 20% referral fee. Only online referrals to ION Members are without referral fees. When non-ION members are selected by a potential client online, the client is not able to get the identity or contact information for the investigator until the investigator agrees to pay the 20% non-member referral fee.
