Dear Valued Customer,

See below message from Bill Rankel VP of Sales regarding Luna Lighted Mirror price increase due to tariffs.  In addition, since the catalogs will not be reprinted you may want to advise the showrooms to make a copy of the attached excel sheet to keep in their binders.

Good afternoon All,

Many customers have come back and said they do not like seeing an additional line on confirmations for the tariff on lighted mirrors.  Therefore effective today Fleurco has raised the list prices on all Luna lighted mirrors in our system 7% to reflect the tariff.  See attached letter.  Catalogs will not be reprinted as tariffs can change at any time.

Build a shower on our website will be updated by Monday so customers can use that to see the updated list price on lighted mirrors starting then.

Any questions please contact me.

Get Up and Try Again!

Updates from Marvin Montgomery

Sales Tip #417 From The Sales Doctor

Get Up and Try Again!

More than half of all salespeople fail because they don’t go back a second or third time. About 58 percent make one call and stop. Twenty-five percent make two calls and stop. Fifteen percent make three calls and stop. The 12 percent who go back again and again and again make 80 percent of all sales. That’s the group you belong in.

Don’t settle for failure. Get Up and Try Again!

Metal Sink Pricing Update

Good morning all,
Disregard the pricing on the metal sink sheet I sent out on both the Alabaster and Ironstone categories.  The pricing is always the same as the Marble or Solid.  No difference in price between materials.  Sorry for the confusion!  Have a great weekend!
