Our delivery network is tough to compete against. Our ability to move people and resources around the organization is pretty awesome. After the frenzy of activity concerning the buyouts of Budget, Alamo, and others, Neil Abrams, an auto rental industry consultant, commented about Enterprise. What is remarkable about Enterprise is that it is the only major player in the industry that has had no changes in ownership or top management in the past four years. This shows just how stable the company has been in recent years.
Enterprise intends to amass local and regional players in the replacement rental market.
After hearing how Enterprise is number one in its industry, one would think that Enterprise hires only the smartest college graduates around. We hire from the half of the college class that makes the upper half possible. We want athletes, fraternity types-especially fraternity presidents and social directors. Social people make good salespeople, as they are able to chat with service managers and calm down a customer who has just been in a car wreck. What new employees find is long, grueling hours.
