The 13 Most Popular Low Cost High Value Things to Give to People

Whether you are in management or sales, one of the most powerful ways to get people to follow you is to give people things that are low cost (or even zero cost) to you but high perceived value to them.  The 13 most popular such things to give to people include:
  1. Service, especially service that has a high perceived value.  Like we often give to our selected prospects a free Training Needs Analysis or Business Diagnostic session worth $298.  Do not give free service that you normally charge people, for this will cheapen your image
  2. Buy 2 Get 1 Free.  This beats 20% or 30% discount, for there is a high perceived value when people can get more without paying
  3. Praise, especially sincere and specific praise from the heart
  4. Acknowledgement and Validation, as most people see this as their worth
  5. Apology, especially when you may not be in the wrong, but you are the first to apologize.  People do appreciate your humility and seriousness when you apologize
  6. Ideas that can help them immediately. Like we often give to our clients 3 business ideas worth $999 in 3 key areas: sales, people management and operations
  7. Extended Warranty
  8. Guarantees that remove their number one fear. Like employees' number fear is job security, a manager can give them a 2-year contract renewable for minimum 2 years.  Salespeople can give to their prospects a money-back guarantee, or better still, financial compensation if the product or service does not suit their needs
  9. Sweet Memories, for most people like to re-live the good times again
  10. Always Contactable Support, for people like to have the feeling that you are always there for them
  11. Love, the sincere, pure kind of love, read here for details
  12. Laugher and Joy, for our world has too much stress. 
  13. Free Trial, for this is the most risk-free option for people.  From now until 15 September, we are giving out a free 2-hour training (at your premise) for companies on the popular topic "Stress Management" worth $999, limit to 2 sessions a month.  Email to andythecoach@gmail.com or text to 8201-4347 for your limited slots.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
