Last week, we took the Green Journey another step forward. We believe we are being good stewards of the environment.
Every hybrid we put on the road creates more awareness and exposure for better air quality in Atlanta and less dependence on oil.
We added two more hybrid cars to our Georgia fleet. Since it was the end of the month, our Toyota dealer needed to hit their monthly sales quota so they called up and offered two cars below sticker price. The timing was perfect for us because we are opening up some new accounts with companies who like the earth friendly concept.
Our experience is the hybrid cars tend to re-train individuals on how to drive a car for better fuel consumption. The Prius has a “tech information system” that shows how many miles to the gallon you are getting for every five minutes of driving. It really makes you think about fuel consumption; it's like a game, to do better.
Our drivers are already learning how to maximize fuel efficiency by “letting off the gas”, “coasting to red lights” etc. Our best driver reading is 51 mpg. For some reason, I tend to have a heavy foot and I’m staying consistent at 43 mpg. Much of my driving is on the highway and very little is in town so it gives me a good growth opportunity.
With all the activity, our main objective right now is getting an enthusiastic, seasoned salesperson with a personal commitment and background in environmental issues to introduce our services to large companies in metro Atlanta.
My ideal fulltime salesperson will call on decision makers in public relations and operations departments of Atlanta corporations – targeting companies who share our concern for improving Atlanta’s air quality.
We will continue to focus as a company on reducing fuel consumption, emissions and join efforts with clients to reduce their impact on Atlanta’s air quality. We believe the steps we are taking will be a win-win for everybody.
