My Car Guy Called Me

Does your car salesperson call you and ask how things are working out with the car you bought from him or her? Mine does. He called me today. [I'm talking about the actual salesperson here, not some "customer satisfaction agent" that you've never met and have no relationship with.] Bob makes it so comfortable and easy to buy a car. I know that you may have heard about great service in a commercial. You may even have had someone you know who sells cars tell you how well they treat their customers. Once upon a time I was taken in by a salesman who bought me a soda from the machine near his office. In my experience, no one who sells cars lives up to their claims of service - no one who also gives you a REASONABLE deal.

I have done business with people I know and with people I don't know. I still like a couple of those people we've gotten cars from, but I won't be doing business with them because the picture they paint for you doesn't match up with the experience you have with their company. [That's part of "selling the experience" and I'll talk more about that another time.] I have never received the kind of service AND reasonable deals that Marianne and I received with Bob Worner. Check him out by clicking on his name. Tell him Charlie sent you. If you like service, if you enjoy it when the salesperson actually does what they say they will do, call Bob today.

John McCain On Courage

Things didn't go so well with our dog training last night. My sweetheart, Marianne, decided that this trainer is too tough on our dog. So she wants to find another way to train Mellow and I was on the phone to For The Love Of Dogs. I believe this woman, Bo, will be gentler on our dog. Heck, he is only a puppy.

We are not puppies, though. Sometimes we choose to put up with discomfort or pain or embarrassment. Sometimes it's good that we did. John McCain talks about finding the courage within you when you know there are risks.

Network Spinal Analysis Again

I went to see Jocelyn Laraine again. She's the Network Spinal Analysis chiropractor I mentioned last month.

I carried my labrador, Mellow, about 100 yards and I wasn't careful about how I picked him up. He's not so little anymore.

It is pretty amazing how getting back on that table can be so tremendously helpful. I already feel more relaxed after one session and I've signed up for a dozen. Some people think that this type of repeat visit situation is a just a way for the doctor to make more money, but that is not true in all cases. We have this idea of instant solutions in our society and many times the answers aren't that simple. I had intended to go back for more sessions and Mellow just reminded me that it was time. And now it's time to go to dog obedience lessons.
