National Car rental wanted to have 2,500 square meters of dirt paved 38 the cars could be on site 39 the airport opened, and the official opening was only the days away! 40 other local paving company wanted to do the job, 41 it couldn’t be done in such a short time.“Because we were new and really needed the work, we were 42 to try harder. We gave National Car Rental our offer and 43 our best effort to get the job finished within ten days. We also 44 them that if we failed, they would be no worse off, 45 they had plenty to gain if we succeeded.“We got the job and immediately went into 46 .

Nine days later, the night before the airport opened, National Car Rental was the 54 company that had cars on the parking lot.“The key to our success was having the 55 to take on any job and then being creative in our approach to getting it done.”
