![]() Hi Dien:
Interesting read on the murderer. Quote:
Yes but this is done with the owners permission as a goodwill to bring back customers...not because an employee received an extra unexpected gratuity that he felt compelled to reciprocate with at the employers expense. This was what got me in Glenn's post: Quote:
Sorry it just did not sit well with me. If you read my addendum ....I left the tip with just a twist hoping to bring a smile to the waitresses face...never expecting anything in return other than the level of service that she had already demonstrated.....and I never would have provided the present had I been going to continue stopping there as I wouldn't want any feeling of indebtedness. Perhaps from the above paragraph you can see where my point of view comes from. Cornell |

![]() Thanks Guys,
Great Feedback as always. I didn't Intend to be controversial. Anyway. A Note from a client who doubled his income - last year with my help. Glenn Osborn ------------------------- ------------------------- My $1 bill testimonials are too numerous to share or remember because I am always sharing, it has been ingrained in me by my parents and grandparents. Friday morning, lady next store needed quarters for washer so she could wash her husband's clothes(they are both retired), so he could go out and cut our's and the neighbor's lawn. Mrs. M had the $1 and she wanted the quarters in exchange. I gave her the quarters and didn't take the $1 bill in return... THAT would go against the grain of GIVING away $1 bills, right? When I got home from working early Friday evening, Mrs. M came out with a container of leftovers for me to eat for dinner. Thanks again for all your help. Kevin -------------------- -------------------- Kevin ordered my Pay-It-Forward System... Including my 365 day - 200% Munny Back Guarantee. http://archive.enchantednlp.com/products.php?id=84 |

Thanks for sharing this example from Paul Meyer... I do believe it would work - that giving each person $100, would mean it would be more likely they would go and buy his product, even if it cost many multiples of $100... It's a great principle to test and use... In the direct mail field, they sometimes call it a "freemium" (a combination of a "free premium")... Here's a good article about it... http://www.targetmarketingmag.com/ar...5-words-28320# However, what Glenn's post really shows that this principle works everywhere! A "free gift" - even a small one - will often lead to an improved response... Personally, I like receiving free gifts... ![]() I should give them out more! Best wishes, Dien |

Dien: I whole heartedly agree with this...in reference to my earlier grumble the difference being that it was Meyer's own product here that he was doing this with. In the past I have added a nice crisp dollar bill in direct mail as an incentive...unfortunately Canada did away with the 1 dollar and 2 dollar bill and replaced them with coins...so now it means a 5 dollar bill if we want to do this here in Canada. Just posted this response so that you would know that I wasn't in total disagreement with Glenn's post. Cornell |

![]() Thanks Cornell,
Years ago I worked as a Janitor and a waiter so I have a lot of Empathy for service people. AND I use Instant LOTTO scratchers to get time to talk with them. And then measure my progress toward deeper and deeper rapport by any Rewards I get Back. Smiles. Laughter. Giggles. Better service. Extra food and Extra Cash back and Positive Energy. BECAUSE of My CHATS with Waiters and Waitresses. (And my own personal Experience.) I know they are ignored, cussed at, spat upon and all kinds of other nasty stuff - by customers who think just cuz they are paying they can Mis-treat people. THIS is Why I Think Service People Are - in many ways - treated like Mass Murderers. Very Rarely do they get a kind word. So when You Treat Them Like VIP's they reciprocate. ============= A Recent Restaurant Case Study - This past weekend my Dad and I went to a Buffet Restaurant. The cashier was white haired, tired and looked more dead than alive. Had all the PEP of a convict breaking rocks with a maul. So. I revved up my Energy and Twinkled at her. While Dad was reading the menu on the wall I told Sally, "I'd like to Thank and Reward you for helping my father and me. I was just at a gas station where the clerk won 60 BUCKS!" BIG SMILE. "And I want to Share His GOOD LUCK with you! So here's a Instant Scratch Off Lotto ticket - Just for you!" Well. This woman LIT up. Her cheeks got color in them. She smiled. She said "THANK YOU" and actually stuttered like a little girl. She stood straighter and seemed invigorated. I - We got seated close to the buffet. II - She went into the Kitchen and Actually DRAGGED a waitress over to our table. III - She gave us 4.00 back. In the form of senior citizen discounts tho I don't qualify. And restaurant policy is that staffers DO NOT give the senior citizen discount unless asked. Thanks, Glenn Osborn P.S. - This is the REASON WHY I have the BRASS to offer a 200% Munny back Guarantee on my Pay-it-Forward System. http://archive.enchantednlp.com/products.php?id=84 |
