An open planetary house can be a tremendous amount of work , but at the end of the mean solar day it is well deserving it . Especially in this age of electronic orders and digital communicating .

My father was a salesman for Levi Strauss for many year and he said his job became much less enjoyable when computer got involve . He feel like his human relationship with his customer support . And that is what he loved .

An open house is a not bad chance to strengthen those relationships . An chance to get to know your customer , spend some time with them , treat them to a meal , and to just say thanks for being your customer . In rejoinder , they get the opportunity to receive other customer , talking plants , parcel ideas , tour the facilities , and to make raw human relationship .
