I'd do a "client appreciation dinner" client comes, and if they bring a friend (non-client) youll pay for the bill or something. during that dinner, talk about some financial planning for 30 mins, and enjoy the rest of the night.Have some giveaways, ipad, iphone, or something, make people 1 dollar a ticket, but all proceeds go to charity or something. just thinking outloud

Lots of white glove dinners. Best clients, best friends, best restaurants in town. Talk very little business. In fact only talk business if the client or their friends bring it up. I'm convinced that we don't give our clients enough opportunities to introduce their friends and family to us. We spend a lot of time talking about their personal finances, but we rarely get into their inner circle. Those are the people we want to get introduced to. The people they go out to dinner with. The people they vacation with. Golf with. Shop with. Just hang out with. I'm going to test this theory over the next year or so. I hope to be able to report that I'm right. And that I've got 20 new $500k to $1 mil households.

I would never, ever tell a client that their "price of admission" is to bring a friend or something equally grotesque. It's either an appreciation event or it's not. But you don't "force" good clients to bring someone. Sure, you can "encourage" and welcome it, but to make them feel some sort of obligation to do it is just bizarre.

Hey ladies, I’m in some serious need for some job search advice. My search has some very challenging circumstances which I’d love some support and feedback on. I can’t share any details here. Would any of of you be willing to connect with me privately in either a chat or (possibly down the road) video chat? I’d love to ideally find a mentor or two.

Men: What does this mean? Been seeing him for a month. Asked if he is still seeking out other women. He said no and that he has been enjoying my company. I told him I don’t plan on seeing anyone else and he said the same. He brought up that he wants a serious relationship with me but feels he can’t right now because of a demanding new job. I told him I don’t want to rush into anything serious. He acts very couple-like when we see each other. I am not sure how to interpret this.

I had a failed natural FET in Sep & did a mock transfer 2 weeks ago (HFET). Results came back Receptive. I got my period 2 days after stopping the PIO. RE mentioned I can start embryo transfer this week & did not need to wait for my next cycle. My periods are not always regular, so I like the idea of not waiting for them to start but also nervous if this could impact the embryo transfer as it would not follow the same timeline as that of the mock cycle. Anyone try this approach with success?
