I don’t offer but a first time referral gets a delivery of a nice plant. “ thank you for helping me grow my business "

such a great idea! what kind of plants do you usually give out?

I make sure it’s the kind that you keep, usually spend about $80

Never good to look cheap

Evidently you used to be able to gift clients Waterford crystal for each referral. I love this idea but I guess it’s a compliance no no

I don't offer or have a planned strategy, but I always hand write a thank you note and I try to find a small token of appreciation that the client likes, such as a bottle of wine, specialty beer (this is WI and we drink alot) or really anything else to let them know I am thinking about them too (outside of planned meetings).

Handwritten thank you and gift card to their favorite restaurant or Amazon

Has anyone used a surrogate? If yes, how did you find them and would you recommend the experience?

I’m sure everyone is nervous about it but my fear is getting bigger and bigger and I just turned 30 so I’m hearing my biological clock ticking.
