I highly recommend the book Fans First. It speaks in depth about entertaining always. Best business book I ever read, based on the Savannah Banana baseball team.
Wayne Rivers says:
Thanks, Jim. I’ll get it.
Don Woodruff says:
Wayne, Party on!!! Great suggestions. Construction is a commodity, taking the time to entertain is a hurdle that needs to be cleared and the time invested to entertain. This is where relationships are further cemented (pun intended).
Wayne Rivers says:
Well said, Don! I’ve heard that puns are the lowest form of humor, but one done in perfect context like yours surely rises to the level of genuine entertainment, no?
Don Woodruff says:
Wayne, when the pun is called out, it in essence, has neutered the pun ineffective. However, backhanded compliments may be a form of passive aggressiveness.
