The AIR Commitments
In order to maintain clarity of purpose, we ask that every member of the AIR COMMUNITY make the following commitments:
- Commitment #1 – I will protect the VALUE of my services. I will never provide free services, as this would only serve to erode the value of similar services industry wide.
- Commitment #2 – I will practice incredible TRANSPARENCY. I will explain our processes in detail to my client. I will never hide details or manipulate reports. I will never communicate with a third party without also communicating with my client
- Commitment #3 – I do not believe in COMPETITION. The Restoration professionals in my market are a part of my community. I will be an active member of that community. It is our Unbreakable Unity that will create the change that we strive for.
- Commitment #4 – I am willing to walk away from any project, client or contract that is not compatible with my values and stated mission. Good business does not require us to give up money, sleep or our humanity.
