Lisa Crampton To contact Lisa: Phone: 480-205-6643 Email: lisa.crampton@airborne.com  Email: lisarcrampton@netscape.net People are continually fascinated with the broad range and quality of our Special Guests. I am constantly being asked how I meet so many interesting people and then persuade them to appear as our Special Guest. Well sometimes they just fall into my lap! Take Lisa Crampton of Airborne Express. There I was working at my office preparing to meet my 10am appointment, a referral consisting of a mother and daughter who I had never met. When at 9:58am Lisa walks into my office. Thinking Lisa was the daughter I pulled her up a chair, asked her if I could get her something to drink, and began some small talk while waiting for her mother to arrive. After a few minutes I asked Lisa where her mother was? She told me in Alabama! This didn't make much sense. That's when Lisa told me she had never been treated so nice by anyone she had made a cold call on before. I asked her what she meant and that's when I discovered Lisa was not my intended 10am appointment but rather a solicitor for Airborne Express! Okay. She is very pretty, I use and love Airborne, and maybe Lisa would like to join us at the Soiree and perhaps be our Special Guest one day. So here we are! I am really thrilled to host Airborne Express for I have used them for years without incident whereas one of their major competitors lost two out of three of my overnights, one of them containing a check for $450,000! So I love and believe in Airborne Express and want to take this opportunity to share this with you through Lisa Crampton, my unlikely 10am appointment. Here are a few select facts about Airborne. 1979-81: Airborne Express is born. After purchasing Midwest Air Charter, Airborne buys Clinton County Air Force Base in Wilmington, Ohio, becoming the only carrier to own and operate an airport. Their package sort center opens, creating the "hub" for the hub-and-spoke system. 1994: Airborne opens its Ocean Service Division, becoming the first express carrier to introduce ocean shipping services and Airborne Logistics Services (ALS) establishes the first new film distribution program for the movie industry in 50 years. 1995: Airborne opens a second runway at its hub, which is now the United States' largest privately owned airport. They also expand their fleet, acquiring Boeing 767-200 aircraft. 1998: Airborne posts record profits and enters the Fortune 500. The Business Consumer Guide rates Airborne as the Best Air Express Carrier for the 4th consecutive year. 2001: Airborne launches Ground Delivery Service and 10:30 A.M. Service, giving Airborne a comprehensive, full-service industry competitive capability. Airborne.com  launches its Small Business Center, as well as a variety of enhancements to help all business customers speed and simplify the shipping process. Advanced tracking features are added to Airborne.com  and Airborne eCourier is released, enabling customers to send confidential, signed documents electronically. 2002: Airborne shows the Soiree they have the best looking sales reps in the business. Airborne features service to over 200 countries worldwide with air express, air freight, and ocean freight delivery, and now eCourier! One last point. A few of my clients swear by Airborne and have actually recommended Airborne to me not knowing I use them. They tell me that Airborne provides the best service at the lowest price. It is with great pleasure that Lisa Crampton, Airborne Express, will be my Special Guest. Please plan on joining us to socialize and meet new friends! BBB
