Family Service Incentive Program

Priceless Legacy encourages LCs to purchase Life Stories for the enjoyment of their own families or close friends. It is assumed and intended, but not required, that the incentive Life Story Package be used for family purposes. Therefore the company offers two special incentives:

Choice I

If an LC sells one Life Story (“A”) within 30 days of enrollment at full price, he or she may purchase a second Life Story package (“B”) for $499.

Choice II

If an LC sells two Life Stories (“A1” and “A2”) within 60 days of enrollment at full normal price, he or she may purchase a third Life Story package (“B”) for $299.
a. No commission or compensation is paid to the LC for the “incentive” or “B” Life Story
b. The “incentive” Life Story (“B”) pays commission to team on a face value basis (that is a percentage per the comp plan of the actual cost of that Life Story (e.g. $499 or $299).
c. The “incentive” Life Story must be completed within 120 days of enrollment.

We fight complexity but some times we need to get a bit creative. If an LCs desire to obtain a Life Story for a loved one drives them to do one or two other Life Stories, then all the better!

Aging in America Conference Video

I shot some simple video at the Aging in America Conference in Las Vegas last week.

I had trouble loading it up to this blog but it is at Facebook and Youtube. Please check it out at either place.

Lucky in Life

Tom Gilbert writes an informative blog and enewsletter called Your-Life-Your-Story. He is also a Priceless Legacy Consultant in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I always enjoy his writing, but I particularly enjoyed a piece from this month's newsletter called Lucky in Life.

Have you ever noticed that some people just seem to be lucky in life? They have great success in work and love. Good things just come to them. It’s almost like they are a magnet attracting good fortune.

On the flipside there are those who can’t seem to catch a break. They suffer setbacks and difficulties. Their life is like the line in the blues song, Born Under a Bad Sign, “if it wasn’t for bad luck I wouldn’t have no luck at all”.

While it appears that some people are born lucky while others are cursed the truth is that most people have good and bad experiences. What really matters is how we respond to these life situations. We can’t go through life without taking some responsibility for our actions. And if we are aware, grateful for each day, respectful of others and willing to be part of life – living it to the fullest – we’ll find we have “luck in life”.

I’m convinced that capturing our life stories – writing them down or recording them in some fashion – is beneficial. It helps us make sense of our lives, gain perspective, pass on valuable family history and I think it is even good for your health. A recent study conducted by Emory University documents how teenage children had lower rates of depression, anxiety and anger when they were able to retell family stories passed down to them by their parents (see the story by Sue Shellenbarger in the Wall Street Journal).

Give yourself a lucky break. Do something about capturing your life story. There are many ways to do it – see How to Tell Your Story for a few suggestions.

Aging in America Huge Success

Priceless Legacy Chief Operating Officer, Bruce Cramer, and I spent the last three days in Las Vegas. No time for the tables, however, because we were hard at work manning our booth at the American Society on Aging and National Council on Aging's "Aging in America Conference."

Although our feet and backs are tired, it was a great show. We had no fewer two hundred of the three thousand attendees stopped by to check us out (the company that it :) ).

The feedback was uniformly positive. Many of the "senior industry" attendees were eager to learn more about becoming Legacy Consultants. Others were "window shopping" for their own parents. Everyone endorsed the need for life story preservation services. Indeed, I may need to have my ego brought down a notch because I have never had a three day period where so many strangers declared me "brilliant" for founding this company at this time. I explained to all of them that no degree of "brilliance" would have impact on people's lives if we do not attract and retain the right Legacy Consultants through the country.

I will blog more about this topic over the coming days. For now, American Airlines is calling . . .
