If you are a typical red-blooded Australian male or a forthright "get it done" female, you may scoff at the idea of getting your own private driver to chauffeur you around. You may have been so used to driving since you got your licence that you never even thought about it. Yet there are significant advantages.
Save Time
Everybody is strapped for time these days, so any savings there would be an advantage. You may well need some additional time to work on your business by checking emails, making some phone calls or reading some reports. Do this from the back seat of your car while somebody else drives you to your destination.
Save Your Energy
Time is not the only thing that is in short supply, as your energy is limited as well. From the time that you get up in the morning you are expending it until you don't have much left. You could put it to much better use than having to deal with stressful and frustrating traffic or the dangers posed by crazy motorists. You could be relaxing from the back seat while somebody else is expending their energy on those issues.
Don't Have to Search for Parking
How many times have you arrived at your destination, only to find it very difficult to park? This can make you late for a meeting and can add to that frustration level. Don't drive around town endlessly when you can simply be dropped off at the curb and somebody else can find the slot.
Don't Have to Plan It out
When you have a professional driver, somebody else has the responsibility of getting you to your location on time, according to the least congested route. They will take into account what time of day it is, any weather conditions and any known obstacles, like a crash on the way. Once again, you don't need to spend valuable time in planning your drive, when somebody else takes responsibility.
Have Personal Branding
Think about your image. A professional driver will always look good and take pride in their presentation. When you arrive at an important meeting this will say a lot for you and your own image. It's a great branding tool, in other words.
Instead of relying on the status quo, consider employing a professional driver, given all the advantages. It will be money well spent and you will quickly get used to this habit.
