The referral revenue you are leaving behind
Most organizations that maintain provider networks do it as a service to their community. They make introductions, answer questions about who to see, and sometimes manage waitlists. All of this creates value. None of it generates revenue.
The organizations doing this work are not charities (well, some are). They have operating costs, staff, and infrastructure. The question is not whether they deserve to earn from the value they create. The question is how.
How the commission model works
When a client books a provider through your Hunhu directory, you earn a commission on that session. You set your own rate. Hunhu handles the payment processing, provider payouts, and tax documentation.
You do not need to hire anyone to manage this. The platform handles logistics. Your job is what it has always been: curating a network of trusted providers and connecting people to the right one.
Running the numbers
Say you have 40 providers in your directory. Each averages 8 bookings per month through your network at $120 per session. At a 10% commission rate, that is $3,840 per month in passive revenue.
That number grows as you add providers, as providers get more bookings, and as your directory gets more traffic. It compounds without adding headcount.
What this replaces
Most organizations fund their network operations through grants, membership fees, or general revenue. Commission income does not replace those sources overnight. But it creates a new line item that scales with your network's actual usage, not your fundraising capacity.
Key takeaway
Your provider network is already generating referrals. A commission model lets you earn recurring revenue from that activity without adding headcount or new operational overhead.
