The Business Jet as a Tool

Recently a pilot friend of mine described a trip he flew for some clients in their Learjet. The plane left Dallas Addison at 7:00 a.m. with four passengers and landed in Memphis around 8:00 a.m. The clients had a very successful meeting where they negotiated the purchase of a very desirable property at a highly favorable price. At 11:00 a.m. they boarded the Lear and flew on to Birmingham, where they had two more very successful meetings. They returned to the plane by 5:00 p.m. One of the travelers stayed in Birmingham, but two new passengers made the trip back to Dallas. By 7:00 p.m. the plane was back in the hangar and all the executives were home enjoying dinner with their families! The clients made a tidy profit for their company, no one had to hassle with parking or lines or security, changes and one-ways were not a problem, secondary destinations didn't require a dogleg to a hub somewhere, and everyone arrived home rested and satisfied.

Using Your Aircraft for "Guerilla Marketing."

Another friend tells of acquiring his first airplane. He had a growing software company, building a client base in the apartment management business all over the country. Until he purchased his aircraft he had tried to minimize costs by conducting as much business as possible over the phone. But from the time he purchased his plane, he made it a point to show up front and center at the client's location to make the sales pitch, help with installations, deal with support or training issues, etc. His clients were dazzled that the President of the Company would show up and lend his personal attention to assuring their satisfaction. His company's sales skyrocketed. He attributes the "hockey-stick" up-spurt in sales directly to his ability to get all needed members of his team--sales personnel, trainers, support technicians, etc.--to his clients' locations on short notice, totally blowing away his competition.

If travel requirements and geographical limits are stifling your company's growth, let's discuss how we can help you acquire all or part of a business aircraft suited to your travel requirements!
