I felt that it was an appropriate way to do business. Maybe if it was worked less as a percentage, but more of a "we'll take a payment based on what you earn the next period", it would be more approachable.

I'm trying to work out how to get it to actually work in terms of payment, because it makes sense to me that if I'm there to improve your bottom line, and I get a cut of that bottom line, it means I'll do whatever I can to see an improvement.

It's essentially like real estate. You have a dude who gets a cut of whatever you make, so he has a vested interest in making sure your property sells for a good price.
You did not answer the question - How would you deal with costing a client sales? By your way of thinking you would have to pay them. That is legitimate business per your model.

I've been a property owner and landlord. It is not a clean business at all. If that is your comparison to your work, good luck.
