Jaguar was used to the rush. With business clients he did everything he could to make sure his products were out quickly and their needs were met as fast as possible. With his local customers, they knew what they were dealing with when making a deal with Jaguar. The quicker the better! But when Jaguar began to deal with customers from other areas he noticed they did business a little differently. They took more time and reviewed things a little more than he was used to. Although it was hard, he knew having patience was important to making sure his customers felt important.
