Baldwin Update

See attached communication from Baldwin’s marketing and product team regarding the immediate discontinuance of the 4308 cabinet knob.  The supplier that made the 4308 cabinet crystal knob for us can no longer produce it consistently.  For those that do not recognize the part number, it is the crystal knob that is shaped like a flower.

We will be posting the communication on Baldwin Express.  The Baldwin Customer Service team are also going to be reaching out to any customers with open orders.

Sorry foR any inconvenience this may cause you.

Today is always the most productive day of your week!

Sales Tip #410 From The Sales Doctor

“Today is always the most productive day of your week!”

I love this quote by Mark Hunter, a motivational speaker and author of the book, “High Profit Prospecting.”

It answers the question that I get asked frequently: When is the best day and time of the week to prospect for new business? Mark believes whatever day and time you decide to prospect will be the most productive day of the week.

In other words, “Whether you think you can or you can’t, you’re right.”

Every sale has five obstacles.

Sales Tip #409 From The Sales Doctor

Every sale has five obstacles.

I like the way Zig Ziglar simplified the resistance that we may encounter during the sale. Zig said, “Every sale has five obstacles: no need, no money, no hurry, no desire, and no trust .”

Don’t wait until the end of the sale to find this out. Surface these potential obstacles during your needs analysis and you will have no problem closing the sale.

Acorn Mfg.’s New Price List #60 – September 15, 2018

To Our Valued Customers,

As a follow-up to our email sent to you earlier this month, attached are two versions of Acorn Manufacturing Company’s New Price List in Excel format, which becomes effective September 15, 2018.  Please note that a significant number of our products have actually decreased in price, while some have increased and some have remained the same.  For your convenience, one version reflects all of the changes highlighted in yellow and the second version does not.  Hard copies of our New Price List are forthcoming; our most recent Price List can always be found on our website; the New Price List will be uploaded on September 15, 2018:  http://www.acornmfg.com/products

In recent years, we’ve implemented an all-inclusive price increase; however, after performing a detailed analysis of each individual product by utilizing enhanced provisioning, we believe that these pricing adjustments bring into alignment the actual retail, based on cost.  Integrity and quality are foundational to us – honesty in pricing and a commitment to furnishing the industry’s best product line are just a couple of ways that we reflect this to you, our loyal customer.

We’d like to thank you, again, for being a loyal and consistent Acorn customer over the years.  Your satisfaction continues to be important to us – we hope that we have been successful in providing you with excellent customer service and quality products at competitive prices.
