Wouldn't it be more honest to point out that you get a commission in
your advert? As it stands, it implies that you have no stake in getting
other people involved.

I notice you didn't answer this point. If someone gets a conservatory
from you, is it genuinely free? Or is it paid for and the cost recovered
from commissions?
