Kickback
Why This is an Opportunity
Referral fees between agencies and freelancers are a massive informal economy that runs entirely on trust and memory. A lightweight, two-sided ledger is trivially simple to build but solves a problem nobody has properly addressed.
Key Pain Points
- •You referred a client to a friend 4 months ago and have no idea if they ever closed the deal or owe you a cut
- •Referral agreements are verbal and there's no shared record of the terms
- •You feel awkward chasing someone for a referral fee because there's no 'official' system
- •You've definitely lost thousands in referral fees you simply forgot to follow up on
Original Discovery
Agencies and freelancers who refer clients to each other have zero system for tracking who owes whom a referral fee. It's all handshake deals and forgotten Venmo requests. Kickback is a dead-simple referral ledger where you log referrals, agree on a fee split, and both parties can see the running balance. When someone closes a deal from a referral, you mark it paid. That's it.
