WorldWide Drilling Resource

More to think about... Ever heard that phrase...YOU CANNOT PUT SOMEONE OUT OF BUSINESS? They are the only ones who can put themselves out. Many years ago, I was speaking with a very dear friend as he told me something very astounding. He said people used to tell him he put so and so out of business. His reply to them was, “They put themselves out of business!” Be sure you don’t do this very thing - the reason good, dedicated companies stay in business is quite simple ~ SERVICE ! That is just exactly what the WWDR Team offers you. How many times have you called a company, or perhaps your company is one of these companies (gosh, I hope not), and an answering machine says push this number, that number, until you are so tired your fingers hurt, and you look at the clock and realize you have been pushing buttons and holding for 10-30-45 minutes or more? Great SERVICE huh? Not in my book. Then, when you get someone on the phone, they don’t have a clue, or you really can’t get to the right person! UGH! Well look at this photo, and bear in mind, you should keep your friends, your current customers, or your future customers, NUMBER ONE , and close to you as you see Dan with his Service Dog Shadow in the photograph above. I think it says it all - “Got Your Back!” They are the only ones who can save your business - but YOU have to want to provide TOP NOTCH SERVICE , like the WWDR Team does. Solid Gold is our motto! AND WE MEAN IT! We have your back! See you on the trail! Ronnie, for the WWDR Team Proudly Made in the United States of America - delivered WorldWide !
