I told her something like "thank you for your interest. we also offer a $x referral bonus to you and to a client you refer after they enroll for 8 consecutive weeks".

i was feeling like this all day that day, though:

Yeah, I wouldn't sign that family because they aren't respecting you & you essentially are begging them to sign now (I have been desperate, but I learned that begging families to sign is not good in any way)... keep interviewing & get $$ upfront before telling another family NO

I think I have a different view. I don't expect people to jump on board in 24 hours. I WANT them to have time to tour other daycares and choose the one that will be the best fit for their child. I just tell them that I CURRENTLY have these openings, and I can't gaurantee that I will still have them when they are ready to sign. Clients that won't be a good fit, are told that I don't think this is the place to meet their needs. Then the clients that ARE a good fit get the spot on first come first serve with paperwork and money.

LysesKids, I offer referral bonuses even if the one who referred didn't enroll here as incentive to let others know about my program.

Even when desperate, I don't get. I just waive a fee
