Acquiring competitors is but one way for us to increase
market share. The other way is to win contracts.
To win contracts we must convince the client that we are
worth every penny. This is where you come in.

You are on site interacting with the client, their staff and
patrons. You are the face of the corps, trusted, everyday, everywhere. Inevitably, you will develop a rapport
with site employees and patrons, but you cannot forget
your role.
Once again, one of our Commissionaires has breached
the client contractor boundary resulting in removal from
the site by the client.
It is important to remember, that the client is NOT your
peer or friend. You work for the Corps and provide security to the client(s). Our clients understand this contractual relationship and expect you to respect the
relationship between both organizations.
