As some of you already know, my mission has changed and I've chosen, with regret, to sell my dual GRT Horizon EFIS system and EIS. Inasmuch as this is a big ticket item, before shipment to a buyer I sent the units to GRT for evaluation and software upgrades, fully expecting to pay reasonable charges for the service.
I don't have any ranking or affiliations with GRT, but after my telephone conversation today with Sandy at GRT, I felt like a VIP customer. "There's no charge for the service" Sandy said, "that's a routine (no charge) service we offer to ALL of our customers".
I expressed my sincere thanks to Sandy, but my brain was thinking I should do something to further express my appreciation. It came to me... "Sandy", I said, "while I appreciate the follow-up services GRT extends to its customers, I can't accept these services for free. In lieu of payment, I'm going to send a donation through VAF to the Make-A-Wish Foundation as a token of my appreciation".
Is a simple Thank You enough? ... usually more than enough. Are there times when we should give special recognition to a company or an individual that demonstrates service above self? ...I think so.
Have a Great Day!
