My PERSONAL extension rings: I answer, "914 world headquarters!" The voice on the other end of the line asks "do you know anything about 914s?" I answer: "What is a 914?" He says: "you know a Porsch'!" I say what's a Porsch'? He says I wish you wouldn't be so arrogant! I say "I was just TEASING YOU! We have fun here everyday!!!!! Let's now start all over again!!!!

Bottom line: I HATE people without a sense of humor!!!!!! (Is it the way I speak??)

"Why can't we just all have fun here?"

When I contact a business, I expect to be met with a level of professionalism. If you can't present your business as someone that is worthy of performing a service for me in exchange for my money and do it in a professional manner, I'm off to the next business that will.

If you want to joke and have fun, do it with your friends or with associates/customers that you have built a rapport with. Treat me like that right out of the gate when I'm contacting a business for the first time and you've just turned away a chance at getting any of my money.

I sincerely appreciate your input, and wholeheartedly agree with you. And that is one of the primary reasons our business has not made the money it should......we constantly function on the hobby level instead of the professional business level we should.
A greatest problem is caused when the president of the company is the biggest Porsche enthusiast and hobbiest! That sets the stage for a less than professional organization.
We are however when it comes right down to it, in the entertainment business though (certainly not like selling Ford taurus parts!!) AND we have great fun here every every day. Our customers are ALWAYS first because we love them for taking on the restoration and preservation of these fabulous 914s! Congrats to everyone, and if we can be of service do not hesitate to call! (and I really DO know something about a 914!)
