Exsus has grown from a four million dollar company to a fifteen million dollar company in just one day. I would like to thank you all for your support. No one would have been possible without you. All of our growth came from agents trusting us with their business.
The operator has a trade strategy with agents at the center of it.
When we launched that, it really mattered to us that we could deliver in all prospects. We won't do anything that could cause agents to lose their clients. Constantly improving is at the center of what we do. It's the same sentiment as it was when it was made.
There is a reputation for hard work and long hours in the city where he has worked. The travel industry isunderappreciated. I have never experienced the kind of work ethic, passion and attitude to client service I have seen in other industries. I was impressed by how you dealt with the Pandemic.
