  Because you are such a great customer, we will market your next aircraft at no charge.
7
  I suggest that you allow the buyer of your G-II to perform a 5,000 landing & 72 month inspection for their pre-buy in Savannah.

  No thanks, instead of catching a ride home on your bizjet, I’d rather just take the airlines.
5
  No drink for me thanks, I have an early closing tomorrow.
4
  18 holes? No thanks. I need to spend some quality time with the wife.
3
  Why would you want to upgrade to a larger aircraft? Doesn’t your current one meet your needs just fine?
2
