  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

SEWELL’S CUSTOMERS FOR LIFE
“Keeping your word is worth more than all the empathy, smiles, and chocolates on your pillow in the world.”
—Carl Sewell
A customer entering a Sewell automobile dealership may be impressed by the atmosphere of the showroom—antique furniture, fresh flowers, and soothing music. However, it takes more than good looks to entice and keep the car-buying public. Sewell’s goal is not only to make a sale, but to create a “Customer for Life.” To rise above the crowd, Sewell has developed a reputation for taking care of more details than any other dealership—including keeping promises to fix problems the first time, never exceeding an estimated price, and providing exceptional customer service where “yes” is always the answer. When a customer calls for help, a Sewell employee rushes to the rescue in a specially equipped Suburban—making a key, fixing a flat, providing a jump-start, or providing whatever the customer requires to get back on the road.
Carl Sewell Sr. learned selling from his family’s first “dealership,” which was actually a livery stable and movie theater. When the Sewell family began selling Model T’s, the cars arrived in boxes. The final assembly was done at the dealership, and customers were taught how to drive. Like many other families with successful businesses, the Sewells adopted the motto “Treat people like you want to be treated.” It has served them well. Today, Carl Jr.’s relentless and systematic demand for his employees to meet the highest standards in service, sales, and friendliness has made his dealerships among the most successful and emulated in the country.
CONSIDER THIS: Quality is difficult to obtain and it will never develop by chance. Superior service requires a powerful commitment to a systematic plan of constant and long-term improvement.
