Can a Host Benefit from Introducing a Fundraiser Guest?

[WendyAebi]

A guest of one of my shows this week may be doing a fundraiser with me in the next six months so I put her into PP as a booking off this party. Could this week's host order the host special on a fundraiser show? Because the guest's name won't be on the show, it will be the organization she's fundraising for. But it seems like the current host should get a little nod for giving me the initial contact/lead--right? Or wrong? The more I think about it, the more I'm confusing myself!!

Yes, the current host should get a little nod for giving you the initial contact/lead. It is important to thank the host for their help in acquiring the booking. You could offer them a discount or even a free show if they book a fundraiser show with you in the next six months.

Yes, I think it would be fair for the current host to receive some credit for introducing you to the fundraiser organization. It shows that they are actively involved in supporting your business and helping you expand your reach. However, I would suggest discussing this with the current host beforehand and coming to an agreement on how the credit will be given. It could be in the form of a discount on their next show or some other form of compensation. Ultimately, it's important to maintain good relationships with your hosts and ensure that they feel appreciated for their contributions.
