Sales Tip #386 From The Sales Doctor

The Art of the Tactful No!

Sometimes we can find ourselves being too agreeable and accommodating. There are times at work or at home when we should just say no.

Have you have ever said yes, when you should have taken a stand and said no, and as a result, you have to suffer the consequences that come from always being so agreeable?

Next time you are faced with this situation, stop feeling that you have to provide an immediate yes or no. Take a moment to think about it, or even give it some time before you respond. You can also thank them and then graciously decline.

My grandmother would always say to us, “Think before you speak and think before you act.” Now that’s wisdom!

Introducing the first wire-free nightlight for lighted mirrors.

Our Polaris Wire-Free Nightlight is light years ahead of the competition.

Electric Mirror Logo

Illuminate the way. Eliminate the expense.

Like its Northern Star namesake, our new Polaris™ Nightlight illuminates your way and helps you navigate your surroundings. Better yet, because it’s battery-powered, it eliminates the added and often hidden costs associated with hardwired nightlights.

While industry-standard hardwired nightlights may appear more affordable at first, they require additional external wiring and installation labor – a hassle for new construction, and a virtual deal-breaker for renovations. Before you know it, your costs have skyrocketed, and what you thought was an inexpensive little nightlight has become a major budget line item.

Because there’s no additional wiring, labor or expense required, no other nightlight can offer you the value of the wire-free, battery-powered Polaris.

So affordable, it may actually save you money.

With Polaris, you can increase customer satisfaction while you actually decrease your operating costs. Here’s how:

  • Save up front:
    Priced at less than $50 per unit, the amortized cost over a typical renovation cycle is less than $5 a year – a mere $.01 a day. And since Polaris requires no additional external wiring, you save on costly electrical work and possibly even significant infrastructure renovation.
  • Save with each use:
    Hardwired nightlights can be left on all night, or even around the clock. In contrast, the Polaris uses energy-efficient LEDs that only turn on when needed. This equates to 60 watt hours per year, at a cost of only $.01 per year
How Much Can You Save?

Simple to install. Simple to use. Simple to operate.

The Polaris nightlight comes pre-installed in your lighted mirror, in a temporary configuration to protect it during shipping. To complete installation, simply loosen the holding screw, move the nightlight sensor into place, and tighten the screw.

Using the Polaris is just as easy. The integrated sensor detects both light and motion, and automatically turns the nightlight on when your room is somewhat dark and motion is detected. It turns off again approximately three minutes after motion is no longer detected, or when the lights are turned on.

Polaris uses a safe, proven Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery that provides 16 to 18 hours of continuous light without recharging – far more than the estimated 30 minutes a day of anticipated use. And because it automatically recharges when the mirror lights are on, it will provide years of maintenance free operation.

A little package with a lot of features.

Only Polaris offers you all this:

  • Operates wire free, requiring no additional electrical work beyond what is needed for the lighted mirror
  • Arrives pre-installed in the mirror for quick and easy set-up
  • Features a 2,200K amber light color that minimizes sleep disruption and supports circadian sleep cycles
  • Uses proven safe, rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries that have a long lifetime of operation
  • Has a built-in battery charger that enables safe, efficient recharging using energy from mirror lights
  • Produces energy-efficient LED light (<0.15 watt on; <0.0005 watts in standby)
  • Is available on most Electric Mirror lighted mirrors and lighted wardrobe mirrors manufactured in the U.S.
