My friend is an independent businessperson. In fact, his car is his office. He has nearly everything he needs – except his desktop computer – in that car all arranged in such a neat and compact manner you wouldn’t know all the stuff is there. He’s got contract forms, samples, form letters, business cards, his smart phone as well as a car phone, and a laptop computer that runs on the car battery. Yet you can sit in that car and think you are just relaxing on a ride to a country picnic.
Naturally, my buddy makes certain that his business is well protected and maintained. His Audi is kept in top shape and the vehicle is looked over at the shop at least once each year. When he is on the road going to one customer or another if the slightest sign of a problem is noticed he will stop and have the vehicle checked out by a qualified mechanic. While the car is being looked over he will spend time writing his next proposal, or editing something so it will be just perfect when he makes his next presentation or sales pitch. That is why he gets his supplies and equipment from Office Depot; he can be confident that the materials he gets from them will have the professional look and image he wants to have when meeting with a potential client. Most clients would be shocked if they learned he did nearly half of his work for them from the seat of his car!
He also takes advantage of Groupon coupons and promo codes to save when he buys materials from Office Depot. And their Open Box Blowout Sale made it possible for him to buy his latest tablet and laptop at a discount of up to $230 off the list price. These make it possible for him to successfully do much of his business from home or on the road, and to save while have the most professional products offered to his loyal clients. They have the utmost confidence in his work, and truly appreciate his driving personally to deliver his products and to review them in person. This is one of his greatest selling points to his clients, he is both reliable and nearly instantly available to them when he is needed. It is something they value highly.
