Mustee Discontinued Product #91 Duratub

Mustee has decided to phase out the 91 Duratub Cabinet Laundry Tub
within the next 45 days, having introduced it in 1959 .

It is the last of the metal cabinet laundry tubs made by Mustee.  High
freight & productions costs make it uneconomical to keep it in the line.

Mustee will sell and ship the 91 Duratub until  stock runs out.

Motivation Tip of the Week

Updates from Marvin Montgomery

Sales Tip #390 From The Sales Doctor

THINK!

I’m sure that you have heard the expression, “Think before you speak or act.” Did you know that each letter represents a self-assessment prior to talking or moving forward with an action?

All you have to do is just ask yourself these five questions first:

  1. Is it  True?
  2. Is it  Helpful?
  3. Is it  Inspiring?
  4. Is it  Necessary?
  5. Is it  Kind?

If the answer is no to any of these questions, don’t speak or act.

Important Watermark Designs Website Updates

WATERMARK DESIGNS NEWS

To all Watermark Dealers:

We know you’ve been patiently waiting to hear more about the changes we are making to our website, and we are very appreciative. We’ve been working hard on this and now we are at a point where we can let you know what’s changed and what will be changing over the next few months.

Let’s break this down into phases…

Version 1.0, or Phase One, which has been completed:

  • The website has been updated to reflect ALL current pricing and products
  • You should feel confident that in using the site, you are seeing all the latest information

Version 1.1, or Phase Two, which is on-going:

  • DWG files and specs are being updated; sometimes daily
  • This is a lengthy process, but we have a team of engineers working on this and we anticipate this being finished within the next few months

Version 2.0, or Phase Three, the complete re-launch, October 1st, 2018:

  • New branded look and feel
  • Easier to use interface, more intuitive
  • The website will be synced with Watermark’s social media – which means that there will be fresh images and inspiration on the site much more frequently

Website re-designs are never easy but we want to get this right and we hope everyone will enjoy using the site. If/when you are using the site and experience any problems, please email me so I can discuss it with my design team.

Franke Professional Series

I am sure the Quality, the Designs and the Innovations that Franke delivers has made your customers happy. I am sure that the profit margins and the spiffs that Franke provides have made you happy!
The Professional Series 2.0 will be available late April.  Once the new Pro 2.0 starts shipping Franke will no longer be able to deliver the current Professional Series.  The older model has been removed from the 2018 catalog. The reason for this early notification is so you can complete your existing jobs.
Franke will replace current Professional Series displays with the new 2.0 at No Charge. 
The new 2.0 model is being launched due to market requests for:
  • Tighter radius corners – 12mm vs current model is 19mm
  • Stainless drain covers, that will give the sink a flat bottom
