wrenches self promotion [RE-wrenches]

[Travis Creswell]

Wrenches,

I think Ken is on to something.  I have heard many Wrenches make mention
that they would like to work closer to home.  I sure would.  Maybe should we
should start by filling out or updating our wrench profiles and make mention
where our preferred work area would be.  I would be willing to pay a
referral fee to a fellow wrench who sent a lead my way that turned into
business.  I also would be more than willing to refer a lead to Wrench who
could better serve someone than me.
