Dang Bigboy, ain't you looking to be done both sides picking on da femme's we got here
Man alive hope dat ticket from blue lights keeps you unner lok n key till Bridget cools her heels since I hear she wears 4 inchers.
Hey Bridget y'all givin my secrets away
Ok I do belong to the Califronia Restaurant Association and as a member I am listed 5 different ways in their annual book sent to all members.
Has it paid off, do I get tons of calls No, but I have recieved calls yes, will it pay off is the question. The local chapter in my area is weak, they don't hold meetings but do hold a yearly golf turney, I don't play golf so I will not be there.
I have tried to get them to have some sort of informal get together every couple month so I can attend and meet the owners/managers/key people etc. So far no such luck but I will not stop trying.
I get NO business from being a Chamber member other then a homeowner calling couple times a year.
What Bridget and others have to ask themselves is the same question I am asking myself, is it going to pay off to be a member?
Is she or others joining to socialize or gain business, will you as a member go to the meetings or just pay your yearly dues?
I can go to any chapters meetings but to do so means I would meet and gain business (possibly) in areas I do not travel to.
Bigboy has a good point about IF he was the man in charge he would already know the company he uses is best, what he might or might not know is the things Scott Stone brings up being the whole enviromental thing.
Keep in mind at some point these trucking companies in all states are going to have to comply with the EPA laws and if Scott is at the front of the list on it and he educates the customers he more then likely will gain business.
Enough since I don't do fleets I am not here to talk fleets, Bridget dragged my butt in here knowing I would try to beat Ron at a long post!
