What does It take for you to buy a client a gift?

[Mikey P]

Just curious..

 

[hogjowl]

It's late
The wine must be great

 

[Wandslinger]

I agree, trying to interpret

 

[DAT]

A bundt cake

 

[Mikey P]

Do you idiots buy great clients gifts to show your appreciation..

 

[Desk Jockey]

Never

 

[Papa John]

I gave the big spenders $50 gift cards good for our services.

 

[Mikey P]

Im following in Breviks foots steps..

Gave our estate manager some hootch.

He was VERY greatful.

I regularly give my best three connections, $100 prepaid credit cards.
They can buy whatever they want. I'd hate to spend money on something they give away or throw away.

Kick back is a kick back is a kick back.... Do you feel guilty for charging too much?

My mom makes some awesome banana bread.. My grandmother (her mom) made better banana bread from scratch.. No recipes, only from memory and out of her garden..

Everyone loves banana bread!

 

[Mikey P]

Guilty?


Extremely greatful for the oportunity to do so.

 

[Small town janitorial]

I do with my janitorial jobs. My banks with mostly female employees I bring in a bunch of coffee shop gift cards or chocolate tray things.

For a couple years, I gave away a gift certificate for a turkey around this time of the year to about 50 customers. The only person that liked those were the grocery store owners that sold me the deal. And they were never my customers. So I quit kissing ass and went back to work. That was the last time I gave away anything

When I start grossing what Mikey is grossing, I'll bump it up to show some appreciation. In the meantime, I'll keep looking for a few generous millionaires who will be my generous profitable customers.

They get what they pay for, my hard work and clean surfaces.

 

[Mikey P]

House/Estate managers are different.

They got you the job, dont spend a cent, deal with your messes, idiosyncrasies and oil drips in the driveway and if they and us do our jobs correctly, the homeowner goes totally unaware that we ever were there. They get no kudos but are paid for their efforts in the low 100s.
That bottle was VERY well received, I promise you.

We blew them away at house #2, #3 in the Fillmore is next followed by #4 in Palm Spings I'm betting

 

[Askal]

We have a handful that we leave a gift for when leaving. They are seldom home. High quality candy, Flowers and a card. They don't care about the value just the thought. WDR customers get a very mice flower bouquet. Its worth every penny to me.

 

[Old Coastie]

Next time, give a bottle of Talisker.

They'll name their next legitimate child "Mikey."
Well... as long as they aren't pencil necked simps who cannot handle the wrestling match that tipple requires.

[Old Coastie]

Hey now, I'm just trying to cut down on the hords of little bastards out there, all answering to "M*k*y."

 

[Nomad74]

Ok. Are you ready for this? Here's a little secret. Any client that spends over $325 with me gets gourmet brownies sent to them. The response to this has been terrific. My referral sources get pizzas and gift cards delivered to them. You would not believe how well this has worked for branding my business in the hearts and minds of the Redding crowd.

 

[Nomad74]

Tom and Ivan constantly make fun of me for my gourmet brownies. But screw'em. .

Start small. I deliver Starbucks travel thermoses to the PM companies. I love it when the office girls squeal with joy.

 

[Nomad74]

And this is how you troll Marty into something.

Why do you have to be so mean to Damonnomad??
Why do you have to say his Starbucks gifts are juvenile?

Oink...

Marty Marty Marty....not very nice.

I'm just here for the free food.

When I pay off all my business debt, I might start doing something like your brownies again. Until then...I need to dig out of my $$$$$debt

 

[Cleanworks]

So juvenile

Marty prefers when they squeal like a pig.

 

[steve_64]

I'll give gifts for ...

Well I use to anyway.

I must be sick. I'm watching episodes of Horders on Hulu. All I can think about is how bad I want to clean their carpets after they remove all the junk.

Would the hoarders eat your brownies?
