Miraculous God Jesus sound 'Ah'

I'd like to share a Christian miracle in this blog post.

This is about a Miraculous God Jesus sound "Ah" which we heard it in our Tamil song.

You can hear the sound "Ah" around 0:17minute from the mp3 file in the above website.

For further assistance and if the sound link not downloadable, please mail… Continue

Social Media at its finest

Social Media for the limo industry is a tough cookie to crack. However, in the words of Gary Vanerchuck "people are what makes us social." For years and years companies have been blasting potential customers with a variety of messages that recieve no feedback, except for the occassional angry email "stop sending me this crap." We need to be more open to what our customers are saying to us and understand that customers do not want to recieve stuff that does not pertain to them.

Understanding the… Continue

Hard times show us what we are made of...

We've all been experiencing tough times financially these days. So, in trying to maximize what is left of the season here in Florida, we are taking it one day at a time. Getting the cars on the road one at a time, building up affiliate work, doing some comp jobs for publicity and to get noticed, and playing up the vintage 1950 something white (original) Stretched de Soto... and waiting for the phone to ring while doing a little cleaning in the office and filing and all that boring stuff.

Last w… Continue

New scoring system for transparency in ground transportation

We are in the process of finalizing our new scoring system for ground transportation companies. The scores are up and we are definitely seeing a trend - people are more likely to click on companies with the highest transparency score. Shock!

This scoring system implies the level of transparency and or openness in communicating and disclosing industry specific information to each company's prospective customers via their website. Scores from 0 to 100. The higher the Score, the more transp… Continue

Jim Luff interviews

I enjoyed your Jim Luff interviews, Steve. He writes well for our magazine and speaks clearly and in depth. We need him - we're editors but don't know what it's like to live in this business.
I'm sorry your audio link was disrupted, but I could hear what you were saying. Good job!

Recover The Customer BEFORE They’re Lost

In the limousine business, you are only as good as your last ride. Anyone who has been in the business for a week or more has heard that one. While I tend to agree with the concept, I don’t necessarily believe it’s completely true. If there was a service issue on the last ride that [...]

It’s a Choice!

There I was in the coffee shop when I said it; when it happened. I was counseling a client to respond more positively in an adverse situation instead of being reactionary and thinking he was being attacked all the time, before he had all the details. The words popped out before I knew it. Moments [...]
