Risk of Referring

We always take a risk when referring someone to our friends, family or colleagues.  I have had it happen to me and most of you probably have had it happen to you as well; your referral didn’t come through with shining colors,  and now you look like a goofball for referring that person.  It’s embarrassing, too, not to mention that your friend thinks it’s your fault for getting them in such a mess.

Well,  I have little time for being jerked around by some nut case who really doesn’t want to provide top of the line service.  After being in business over 27 years and weeding out a lot of “dead beat bubbas, ” we have a list of really good companies and people that continually provide excellent service.

Understanding the importance of a referral keeps us sharp as a razor; we know someone has put their reputation on the line in telling their friend about us, and we won’t let them down.

I will be referring some of the people we trade with in each issue of this paper.  I feel that a personal referral is the best and most likely way to find a competent place of business where everyone comes out a winner.

Steve Bass with Bass Tire – Talking about top of the line service, these guys lead by leaps and bounds. They are a no bull company with super nice people who get the job done and make your experience pleasant.  I have been trading with Bass Tire for over 18 years and they are wonderful, prompt, honest, down-to-earth and truly caring people.  So,  you may already have a personal tire company, but if you don’t, you will find a friend and good service at Bass Tire.
