Then they can become a disciple so to speak... ....just as I and many others on this group very highly recommend Donna. The tactic is called " spiffing " . One variation I use at my own place, is I give one of the following freebees to someone that recommends my place, and that person comes in for an interview, then signs up for a basic $39 intro. His choice of freebees are... 1. A $97 product...(my hard cash out, $2 bucks) 2. A $59 product...(my hard cash out, $22 bucks) 3. Or a $25 pass to the movies. (my hard cash out, $25 bucks) It is worth it to me to pay up to $25 bucks for a client that will probably pay me between $1,500 to $4,000 bucks in a year. And the client is under no obligation, except his own greed, to do the deed... ....and the newbee gets to train with one of the best in the Pacific Northwest for peanuts. A triple win situation.
