Thank you's for new life clients

[Frank Stastny]

Everybody sends cards that say thank you. Some even buy them from the insurance company or have the company send them out. The card is real creative, it says "Thank you". Tacky, tacky, tacky.

Send them a personal letter saying thanks. I use a very nice light gray, laid finish 25% cotton stationary with matching envelopes. I can also send you a copy of that along with the birthday letter when I get your e-mail address.

Competition is getting too tough to not put forth a little extra effort and yes, expense if necessary to separate yourself from the crowd. You are investing in your business. Not doing what everyone else does has served me well.

Geez, when I saw the title of your thread I thought you were from South Philly and had misspelled "youse." FYI, that is the plural of you in South Philly.

Oh, I get it. Any ideas?

Okay, in some States you are allowed to "Rebate", at least I do believe so in CA, so if you live in CA send them half of your commission! I'm not sure which they would remember longer, cash or a lap dance?

My guess is hmmmmm the cash?

Okay, not what I would of said, but you answered the question.

SEND CASH

James,

You're joking right? It's illegal to rebate in CA. Just send them the lap dance BEFORE they sign on the dotted line that way there's no confusion with rebates. Of course that could get pretty expensive especially if they don't end up buying!

I have never sent thank you cards. I do try to take the client to lunch or send them a gift card to a decent restaurant. I had clients send me thank you cards. I just felt thank you cards were uncomfortable, I do send birthday cards.

James,

No it is not illegal unless they change the law and didn't inform me, but we know they wouldn't do that.

From my understanding it is illegal to rebate here in California. Interpretation of course could mean the difference.

Please describe what "rebating" means to you?
