    That is not bad. However, I think a flat cash referral of $25 or even a certificate of $25 off their next junk removal would be sufficient.

    Geo why ask the question if your just going to say what your going to do anyway after someone answers your question on what they do?

    LOL


    Hey GB, what about a $25 gift card to their favorite restaurant? Might make a better impression and they'll think of you again when the need arises.

    1. Why a lot of people ask certain questions on here, the way they do. To see what others are doing, to see if it is better or worse then what they are doing.

    2. I never said that either way is the way that I have already decided. Mikeinreco, said that he used to pay 10% of the profits from a job. So I simply said that a $25 certificate off their next job with my company, or $25 cash sounded sufficient to me. Besides, if someone referred a job, and you made say $50, then their referral is only $5...not a lot of people will see that as worth while.

    If I wasn't, I wouldn't keep the business open. No sense to keep a business running if your not pulling in any profits.

    That is definitely a thought for sure. Depending on where you go at around here, the $25 would take care of the entire meal.

    Another possibility is a $25 gift card to a cash station, gives them some cash for gas if their running low.

    Thanks for some suggestions/ideas.

    Just trying to come up with as many ideas/thoughts as possible before I set things up.
