About The Retention Experts

At The Retention Experts, we believe appreciating your people should be a revenue generating asset tied to revenue growth rather than an expense. While our founder James Rushing was working his way through Texas A&M as an independent distributor of Cutco Cutlery, he read research showing human needs center on having a sense of connection and purpose. What he realized after helping 120+ organizations is how how vital business contacts (clients, referral sources, employees, and vendors) should know how much they mean to your business. But in business it’s complicated to stand out and show how much you care!

Does the process of coming up with ideas for corporate gifts, client appreciation, or corporate gifts leave you feeling intimidated or overwhelmed, diminishing the joy of giving business gifts? It should be fun to appreciate your people! As a turnkey appreciation advisor and gifting concierge, we help you avoid the stress and frustration of data management and business gifts. Let us help transform your client appreciation experience, helping you feel confident in your engagement and retention strategies with our done for you or done with you services. We understand the problems, pains, and needs of driving business engagement. Partner with us to leverage our expertise and improve the sense of connection and purpose with your people, all while giving your team time back and driving incremental revenue without any of the frustrations you used to have with your old corporate gift experiences!
