I just went online to understand more about the BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY employee discount, and here is the link for the company's that are owned by BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY

LINKS TO BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY SUB. COMPANIES

My question is - how would we know which of our customers/ hosts are employed by "BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY"?

Has anyone just sent out an email with the flyer (which has the checkout discount code) to their contact list?

I send out 1 email per month to my list of over 850 people, and every month I get 5 or so requesting to be removed, what if someone who has been removed is an employee?

We discussed this a few weeks ago. You don't know where your customers are employed unless you get to know them that well.I wouldn't give the discount code to everyone because they may try to mistakenly use it.I'm sure BH employees know of the promo...the only thing you can do is send a note a say if you are employed by BH and need help with an order, please see me or go to my website at www.pamperedchef.biz/XXX
 
Hmmm...I have a good customer that owns the franchise here in town for the DQ. I wonder if they know about this or if they are included since it is a franchised company. I'll have to email him and his wife tomorrow!
 
one of my downline works for a BH company and knew NOTHING of this aside from me telling her about it.
 
I wish HO would make their flyers editable, so we could put in our information. Wouldn't it make more sense to be able to put our website addy in, instead of making the .com site so prominent? Then, I could just print a couple of copies and take it over to the local DQ.
