    Catered lunch for everyone. When I was a trans manager nothing moved you up to the top of the vendor list like a lunch and don’t forget to order a cake.

    For me the only thing that moved you up quicker was a couple of Uga football tickets or maybe a four pack of Braves tickets, but that would be a steep bill If you are buying everybody one lol.

    Meh. That would go a long way for whoever is in charge or whoever you sign that contract with, but not much for the “workers” who I am sure he deals with and works with a lot more than the person pushing the buttons.

    6 wheeler........

    The BEST gift you could ever give your customer(s) is..YOU

    Pay them a personal visit, No talking business, Sit down with the Owner (Executive officer(s) or Supervisors of transportation)...GIVE Them YOUR Time, They Will appreciate it more than anything.

    Peddling out Paraphrenalia like Calenders,planners,Pens and Gadgets Worked in the 1950's......
    Business owners Don't want you "Buying" your appreciation for them these days

    Just Like sporting event tickets- Five Star restaurants etc................They See thru all that as your trying to "Buy" them.

    Visit them in Person with a Smile- Don't try "Selling" anything either...Do more listening,Then Talking.......

    For those of you that do this....You already Understand...
    For those of you that Don't...You'll Thank me Later in Life.
