TROUBLESOME USERS
Managers tend to be attentive to people they like, and to avoid the ones that give them problems. Don't neglect your favorites, but as a rule, make sure to force yourself to be attentive to the problems of people you don't care for. To succeed, you have to win over the whole user group, not just the ones who cooperate.

Depending on how much rounding you need to do in your replique montre Breitling Avenger, this should give an answer within 1% of the actual figure. Also works to convert between MPH and KMPH
