I had an interview for a company that does UX analytics for some major global brands. It went OK technically - I think I could do the job (3rd line/tech support for their JavaScript library) - but location is an issue and I didn't get on very well with the guy I spoke to (the CEO). So, via the recruiter, we agreed to leave it at that.

In the meantime, I was talking to a friend who is a Senior Front End Developer at a major UK bank about the library and what it does. He thought his team might be interested in using the analytics company's library. It could be a very useful tool for them.

So I could put the CEO of the analytics company in contact with the web team at the bank. Obviously this would be putting a potentially very lucrative business opportunity in front of the analytics company, so I would want some money for my involvement!

How could I go about asking the CEO of the analytics company for some money to refer them to the web team of the bank?

I didn't like the CEO very much so I have no qualms about wanting money from them - but I'm not sure how to pitch it. Any ideas?

Not gonna happen. Companies don't go around paying for unqualified leads - not individually, anyway. The administrative cost of sorting it out just makes it not worth it.

Your best bet would be to get your friend to buy you a couple of beers if he uses the library.

    It would be the CEO that would owe me the beers for sending some business his way, but that's not gonna happen either... thanks though!
