Keep That Smile! Ed@ Michele@ Kathy@ Caleb@ Marcel@ Jan@ Bonnie@ Troy@ worldwidedrillingresource.com You’ve seen their faces - worldwide. BUT What exactly do they really do? I mean those red jackets stand out in a crowd ~ for a reason. They carry that camera ~ for a reason. What some don’t realize is all the hard work they do for our drilling industry. In between those 35-40 plus events they attend with camera in hand, exhibit booth set-up and manning, educational seminar coverage, banquets to catch you enjoying your time and accepting your award(s), and much, much more, those WWDR Team Members are in their offices handling the day-to-day operation of getting the database updated, researching and compiling articles, preparing advertisements, contact- ing you to see if there is some way they may help you sell your equipment, services, and products, preparing and launching the website, and much much more. They are covering the world of drilling for YOU so you can do your job more efficiently, make more money, know which pieces of equipment are the best fit for you, and they also help YOU promote your business and service. It is true - this magazine is a monthly RESOURCE for everyone in the drilling industry, and even those who have retired, or for the widows who still read it for the motivational, educational, and many other articles they enjoy. Each piece of this puzzle comes together through their extraordinary efforts. As you see them “everywhere”, remember, the WWDR Team does more than just capture your smiles ~ let them help you market your equipment, products, and services locally or worldwide. They will do that with their Solid Gold Smiles from the Home of Solid Gold Service ~ with a Smile!™ Accept NO imitations - there is only one true RESOURCE. With pen (computer) in hand...
