I would encourage you to network in person as much as possible.

Is your person a project manager or a construction manager?

A person as an image of the company is ALWAYS better than a crappy text logo with a "cleverly" added roof top  on top of the text.

I dont think opening a joint account where Person A and Person B have withdrawal rights where Person A funds the account with $100,000 is considered a gift; resulting in a gift tax return.I believe you have to actually take the money out of the joint account for it to be triggered a gift.This may make their life more difficult as they have to track how much you take out every year.I think the simple solution is to just have them write you a check.

Clearly you are not a lazy person as you are out there trying to make things happen.

Some agents in my area (DC) are saying it's not allowed because a licensed person can't pay any sort of money to an unlicensed person as that constitutes a 'referral fee.' 

Good questions would be business related (about the market, etc.) as well as about the person (as appropriate), so you don't make them feel like they are just a cash cow that can send you deals.
