"After negotiating a change in
our union contract the union
president told me:‘We’ll pay
for part of our insurance, but if
you try to take those StarPerks
away,we’ll have to put on the
boxing gloves!’ I knew right
then we had a winner with
our StarPerk Program."
- Kenny Sawyer, Dorsey Trailers
Easy to Reward
Improving your company’s performance and
attitude is easy. We’ll help you isolate the key
behavior changes that translate into better
performance from your employees,
and better profits on your bottom
line. When you and your
managers see people meeting
those goals, reward them
with a Scratch-off StarPerk!
Our free Wow! Recognition Seminar shows you how to be "soon,
specific, and sincere" the hallmarks of
great recognition.
(Worried you’ll have favoritism, inconsistent
recognition, and the "buddy system"?
No problem. Our Checks and Balance
System(SM) helps you verify who is rewarding
whom and for what, in only minutes a month!)
Your Star Performer employees can redeem
their StarPerks Cards, Points, or Medallions today
for a gift of their choice OR save them to select a
larger prize from over 3,000 name brand gifts -
getting the whole family involved in the
program, unlike cash & gift cards
which are here today, and gone
tomorrow. You can even reward
your employees with an Award of
Excellence Dream Vacation,
included in your program.
"We switched from Walmart,
Visa and American Express Gift
Cards to StarPerks - it offered our
company greater value than any
other solution."

"You wouldn’t believe the smiles
when we started handing out
StarPerks.We took pictures,
people were holding up their
StarPerks and grinning from
ear to ear! I can’t wait to kick
off the program next week with
our second shift!
- John Snider, Sysco Foods
StarPerks - Our Most Popular Program
Scratch-off StarPerks give you a trouble-free way
to reward employee performance
when it occurs. StarPerks get results
because they are so easy to use,
employees love them and they are
tax free! No other program packs
more value per dollar spent. When
your employees or customers
meet your objectives you award
them StarPerk
tokens. They
scratch-off to discover
the token’s
value and redeem it
for instant awards,
Dream Vacations, or accumulate
it for larger catalog prizes. All you
do is distribute the StarPerks when they’re
earned - we take care of the rest.
Custom Calendars, posters,
and newsletters feature pictures of your
Star Performers!

Frequently Asked Questions
We’ll bring the Safety Dummies to your
program kickoff!
|
|
Is This Just for Big Companies?
No way! We work with companies who have
as few as 10 people.
Is It Too Expensive?
Is $199 per month too much to
spend to reward and recognize and
retain your Star Performers? If you
don’t reward them, they’ll find an
employer that will!!
Can’t We Do This Cheaper Ourselves?
With our turnkey programs, you won’t waste
valuable time or money trying to reinvent the
wheel. Add up the costs of paying income
taxes, buying Dream Vacations, buying merchandise,
warehousing it, printing catalogs
and scratch-off tickets, taking orders and handling
defective gift returns and all the other
benefits we provide and you’ll agree that
StarPerks give you more bang for your buck!
Isn’t a Paycheck Enough?
Not if you want the kind of performance
and loyalty that it takes to
excel in today’s competitive
business environment.
According to every major
employee survey for the last 50 years, the
number one factor in job satisfaction is recognition
and appreciation, not money. But
many managers don’t know how to systematically
recognize and reward positive
behaviors among their employees.
In addition, lack of recognition
is the number one reason good
employees leave their jobs. What
does it cost you to replace a valuable
employee? One and a half times
their annual salary! Your employees will
perform better and stay longer with an effective
incentive and recognition program.
Your employees can even win the Disney
Dream Vacation of a lifetime. Drive a
Harley Dreambike or a Dodge Viper!

Do Safety Incentives Cause Injury Hiding?
Poorly designed programs do, but we’ve
trademarked a proactive, behavior based
recognition process that reduces injuries
without injury hiding! We’ll design a
program for you with rules that are carefully
designed to ensure injury reduction without
injury hiding.
A Letter From Our President
"The program has been a real
hit! I have people standing in
line each morning to see our
scores. I would never have
believed your program would
have generated so much success!"
- Dan Kingsley,ATG, Inc.
"We boosted the sales of very profitable
gift certificates by 60%!"
- McDonald’s
Award employees the AOE
Medallion for outstanding
performance. They can take it to
a special onsite gift showroom that
we provide. Employees select the
award they prefer and deposit coins to receive their award.

Dear Friend,
Remember the first job you ever landed? There
was an exhilarating rush of joy and a feeling of
pride in your achievement. But for many people,
the pride just isn’t there any more. Long work
weeks, endless email, and present down
sizing leave today’s workers more cynical
and overworked than ever before.
Is it any wonder that in every
employee opinion survey for the last 20
years, employees have rated recognition
as the number one ingredient for job
satisfaction, while a pay raise ranks a
distant fifth? To make matters worse, 73% of all
employees say they aren’t recognized
by their managers and co-workers
often enough. Sure, there are still a
few old school managers who
would have us believe that all
that matters to employees is
a paycheck. In truth, though,
managing human beings, complex creatures
that we are, requires far more insight than
handing out paychecks.
Consider This...
100% of managers surveyed say money is the
number one ingredient in job satisfaction of
their employees, but 100% of their employees
say they are wrong. Yes money is down there as
number 5, but a pat on the back is still number
one. Are you spotting a missed opportunity
here? What your employees are saying is that yes
a decent paycheck is important, but a simple
"Thank You" is the most important thing to
workplace satisfaction, fun, and attitude change.
Which might help explain some very unusual results
that some of our clients are achieving right now...
- West Valley Nuclear receives $1.3 million in
money saving ideas.
- Heartland Foods reduces injuries from
285 per year to 14 per year without
injury hiding
- Georgia Pacific increases VPPP participation
44% in 3 months
- A Boat builder shatters every known
production record achieving a 40%
thru-put gain in four weeks!
- One of our clients goes chapter 11, but the
employees request that if possible could they be
given slips of paper from their managers that say
"You’ve done good.?" Worthless paper to some,
but of great value to those employees.
Start Building your Business Stronger Today!
Where there is waste and excess you will trim it.
Where there is lack of fun, you will create an
energizing workplace. Accept mediocre performance,
that is exactly what you will get. Your business
will either survive or it will thrive. The choice
is yours. Call us when you are ready for
performance improvement, squared.
Thanks again for your interest.

"On the last day of our program
a driver damaged a new
Ford Taurus he was transporting,
disqualifying him for the
final award in our incentive
program. He drove four hours
to ask me face-to-face, 'If I buy
this car, will the incident count
against me?' When I asked him
why he would want to buy a
new car just to get the final
award, he said, 'I can’t be the
only guy in my terminal without
one of those JACKETS!'"

Another Bill Sims Success Story:
"We have returned from our Disney
trip and wanted to let you know just
how much we enjoyed our vacation.
Old Key West was fabulous, the
Acclaim car transport was wonderful,
and our only problem with the
vacation is that we wore ourselves
out. Thank you for arranging such
a great vacation."
- Linda Pfeiffer and family
