The Speed of Trust
Sales Tip #589 From The Sales Doctor
The Speed of Trust
If you have had the opportunity to attend any of my training sessions, you have heard me say that people buy from people who they know, like, and most importantly, TRUST.
Stephen Covey’s book, “The Speed of Trust,” definitely makes that point.
Stephen says when trust goes up in a relationship, on a team, in a company, in an industry, with a client, or with a customer— speed goes up with it and cost comes down.
Everything happens faster and everything costs less because trust has been established. That’s a dividend – a high trust.
I totally agree!

New Gerber Shower Diverter Valves Now Available
| Hello, Please see below from Gerber. Gerber has redesigned the shower diverter valves to install more like the Treysta Pressure Balance Valves. There was no issue with the previous version but this is manufactured to work specifically with the Treysta. The D130500BT that you have used is now D130510BT and is actually less money, list went from $154.00 to $118.00. These are in stock and ready to ship. |
| Gerber is excited to announce that our new models of shower diverter valves and complementary extension kit are now available. The Gerber® Single Handle 1/2’’ Shower Diverter Valve enables flow to be diverted to different shower components, such as from a showerhead to handshower, or to both at the same time in two of the three models. The valve body is heavy-duty forged brass and features 1/2’’ IPS/Sweat connections. Most often times used with Gerber’s innovative and trusted Treysta® Tub & Shower Valve, installation is made easy due to the matching installation depth range and integrated mounting holes. There is one deep wall extension kit (D130011B) that is compatible with all three models. The valve is compatible with all current Gerber shower diverter trim kits. The reliable performance of the valve is backed by a lifetime limited warranty. |
