TOURdeSOURCE 2009

WOW! WHAT A RIDE!

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED AND GAVE IT THEIR ALL.

But all in all, it was a good ride.

Let's all raise a glass and toast those who crossed the finish line:

Dan Goulet, Norm Morrison, Nigel Anderson

Mike Goulet, Evan Lyons, Mike Ruggia.

RIDING TIP #2

When sending me a FLOOR MODEL ADVANCEMENT,

please note that I need to know what type of floor model.

Is it a floor model that is over a year old and can get you out of a warehouse?

Is it a 35pt floor model that can advance you BUT not get you out of a warehouse?

And if it is not one of these,

you should simply log it on your tracking sheet and send it to me once complete.

* * *

RIDING TIP #1

Remember, when a customer wishes to add to an pre-existing order,

please write up a new WO and link the 2.

Adding to a previously written order risks delivery mishaps and alters the daily numbers.

Mike, our 2007 winner, knows the route well. Is James using him as a pacer?

But remember James - no drafting allowed!

Drafting rule #1

If you sell a DEMO-ARC, it only counts as a DEMO unit and

not as an ARC as well unless you are selling it at 35pts

This year, our race is beginning in the MIAMI WAREHOUSE #800.
The warehouse opened at the same time the
MIAMI store did and was the beginning of our Florida expansion.
