Finally staffed on a weekly travel project after so long and planning to get a new credit card - chase sapphire reserve or Amex platinum? Delta flyer here and usually doesn’t eat out

I’d like to get to know these folks, and welcome in the newer ones, but I’m not sure how to proceed(without it being kind of lame).

I have a team that just completed an audit, on time, on budget, resulting in a happy client which makes me a happy partner!

Hi all, I recently purchased a commercial property at WTC, Noida. As I look to grow my portfolio, I spoke to my consultant to see if I could get better prices.

I could potentially get him to set up one-on-ones to help explain the commercial real estate market. Even if this property doesn’t seem interesting, I think an interaction wouldn’t hurt.. contd
