Freedom Maker Appreciation

Many clients ask for ways to show appreciation to their Freedom Makers. While gifts aren't expected, here are a few ideas. Our My Favorite Things tool can help you learn their preferences.

A monetary thank you:

If you’d rather pay a bonus or commission directly to your Freedom Maker, you will need to provide the required tax forms.

If you only have their email address:

• A gift card (Starbucks, Amazon, GrubHub, favorite restaurant, etc).
• An electronic card to tell them how much you appreciate them.
• A small donation to their favorite charity.
• Enroll them in a professional development class they want to attend.

If you have their mailing address:

• Branded item from your company. Our Freedom Makers love to be part of the team!
• Flowers, live plant, or a gift basket.
• A gift of their liking, such as a candle, tea, lotion, book, etc.

Give Feedback:

All 5’s or a great narrative in the form earns your Freedom Maker the Client Excellence Badge!
