If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you know I’m all about offering colleagues some nice tangible reinforcers to grease the wheels. Incidentally, some people at the new program hate my guts anyway…but they still liked getting Krispy Kreme a few weeks ago (watch Groupon–they run a “$20 worth of donuts for $10” deal pretty regularly).

If you’re looking for a cheap bribe, Costco has a 100-pack of gel pens in assorted colors for $20. That’s just $0.20 per suck-up. These were even cheaper a few weeks ago ($13.00), but $20 isn’t bad, and they write really beautifully. Such a great deal that I even used one to reward a kid today!
