I got the idea at the Reno convention from Robert Guenther's class on business. I would recommend that class highly to anyone who plans to forfeit their 4th of July family plans and attend the convention this year. I don't recall the name of the class, but if Bob Guenther is running it, you'll learn alot about increasing your business. Unfortunately, this specific idea didn't seem to work for me. After about a year and a half of informing clients of my referral rebate coupons, only one person ever cashed one in. So I just stopped mentioning it. I even had cute coupons printed up, with a keyboard border and logo, and all. It seemed like a good idea. (Still does...) It just didn't work. Got alot of other great tips from Mr. Guenther, though.
