Consumer View
Services that
• Give peace of mind
• Satisfy needs
• Deliver on promises
When packages don’t arrive on timethings can’t get done,
people wait,clients leave,
customers get angry,reputations get ruined,
credibility goes out the window,orders get backed up,
jobs get lost,people get demoted,
bosses get angry,people get disappointed,
stores can’t open,assembly lines shut down,
factories shut down,accounts go to the competition,
money gets lost,meetings are missed,
conferences are cancelled,blood pressure goes up,businesses can’t open,
people can’t work,promises are broken,
trust is lost,opportunities are missed,
deals aren’t made,transactions never happen,
ideas aren’t shared,products don’t get made,
information is missed,and the person who used
the shipping companythat messed it up
looks really, really,really bad.
