The story of Dine and Discounts and Mike Gerken or any company getting to be #1 is interesting. The life lesson learned from the Dine And Discounts and Mike Gerken however is simply a story of “doing the right thing” is the best path to success. The company, Dine And Discounts, began with a friend of Mike Gerken’s wanting to hire him to turn an idea of his into a company plan so he could get some financial backing. His idea was internet coupon offering. After assessing the friend's idea, Mike Gerken realized that the business plan, on its own, would not be able to get financial support. Mike's friend understood his logic and moved on without any questions. Mike Gerken however, kept working the Dine And Discounts idea. After days of pondering this business premise and decided to add a twist to it, youth fund raising. The idea had been done before, fundraisers with coupon books and with coupon cards. What ultimately differentiated Dine And Discounts from the competition was a bold decision to give a return of 80% to the children. Dine And Discounts soon spread all over the United States.
