Here's an illustration: A metropolitan coffee shop and a Life Coach have a special connection. He holds 'brain trust' meetings with his in-person clients once every eight weeks, inviting them along and providing the coffee and cake for free. The proprietor of the coffee shop gives each customer who comes in a card and a coupon as a way of saying, "Thank you for joining us today, we would love to see you again soon" then gives a coffee coupon that says "buy one, get one free." that they can use it the next time they are in the area. Additionally, because the owner of the coffee shop is promoting his company to potential new customers, the Life Coach only has to pay the cost of the coffee and cake that his clients consume. There are often 8 clients present, and the fee is roughly $30. This small gesture can be a start of a remarkable and enjoyable experience with just a little extra effort!
