PAUL GETS A “NEW” CAR!

In September, Paul’s 2005 Hyundai Sonata finally gave up the ghost, after almost 167,000 miles.  Because he was happy with his Sonata, he went to Palm Springs Hyundai to look at purchasing a good used Hyundai without too many miles.  Paul tested several, and liked all of them, but the costs were a little elevated for his modest budget.  Fortunately, salesmen Greg Dixon and Steve Allen pointed out a powder blue 2014 Chevy Spark EV that had been sitting on their lot for a while.  The price tag was about $5,000 less than the Sonatas and Elantras Paul was checking out.  For a small car, the Spark (now affectionately called “Sparky”) has an extremely roomy interior!  It is also an all-electric vehicle, so Paul feels really good about not harming the environment while he’s driving!  Keeping the car charged can be a challenge – Paul can get about 100 miles of driving from a full charging, so he’s learning where all the free charging stations are located in Palm Springs and Cathedral City (he has a charge station at home, thanks to a $400 special power cord).  When the “tank” gets down to about 15 miles, it’s time for Paul to head for home!

PAUL’S NEW CAR MEANS A NEW SERVICE FOR AYSL!

So now that he has a new car, as of late October 2017, Paul has become a driver with Lyft!  It’s a perfect complement to Paul’s other duties – he can do it any time he likes, and the hours are totally flexible!

Paul will spend most of his Lyft driving time looking for fares in Palm Springs and Cathedral City.  Paul’s Lyft code is PAUL75109 – as they say, “Please make a note of it.”  So a GREAT referral for Paul would be your friend on the west side of the Coachella Valley who uses Lyft, and wants to ensure a comfortable and safe ride around town!

Not only do I bring excellent, committed service, but you don’t need to hire a large number of independent contractors or employees to provide service for you!

With very few exceptions, I DO!  I try to avoid using the phrase “Jack of All Trades,” because it is usually followed by “Master of None.”  I do a LOT of things well, and I love the variety of tasks that my clients provide for me every day!  If I feel I cannot do the job for you well, or if I feel my “learning curve” will take too long for it to be beneficial to you, then I will turn down the job and/or refer you to someone else.

WHEN YOU NEED THEM!  WHILE I’M ACTIVE IN OUR COMMUNITY, I TRY TO KEEP MYSELF AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES OF DAY FOR YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS.  DAYS, NIGHTS, WEEKENDS, HOLIDAYS?  NO PROBLEM!

A temporary agency will provide an available worker who may or may not be a good fit to handle the tasks you need accomplished.  With few exceptions, the next time you need a worker, the temporary agency will NOT be able to send you the same worker.  Then you will have to train another person, who may or may not be as good as the first worker.  Spending a lot of time training temporary workers is not very cost-effective.  Once you train ME, then you get ME – every time!  I keep detailed notes on each job as necessary, and you won’t have to train me a second time – I can walk right in and start the job for you, saving you time and money!

I am a referral magnet!  I belong to several networking groups in the Valley, and have met with numerous business owners and operators from one side of the Valley to the other.  I must have cards for at least 200 businesses that I would be proud to refer to you!  If you need a service or product in the Valley, please don’t hesitate to contact me – I LOVE to give referrals!
