Claybrook Interiors- 30% Discount for Discontinued Stock Items

Where did this year go?! Thank you for all you have done to support us in 2021. The best part of my job is getting to know each of you, and our team is truly grateful for the partnerships we have developed. As always, feel free to contact me if there is a way I can support you!

See below for our next container schedule, the time frame is more extended than usual due to Chinese New Year closures. Our factory will be closed for a month during January and February.

😊

We are discounting the Ellipse Basin in Sable,  Soho Basin in Studio, and the Bath Racks by 30% to remove these items from our stocking program. The basins can still be ordered through our non-stocking program once the stock has been sold. The bath racks are discontinued from our program entirely. Scroll down for a refresher on these items. Happy Selling .

Procrastination is the Enemy of Progress

Updates from Marvin Montgomery
Sales Tip #571 From The Sales Doctor
Procrastination is the Enemy of Progress
I’m not sure who said this but they are absolutely correct. How many times have you heard the prospect say, “Let me think about it?”

Your response should never be, “when should I get back to you?” 

You have three options to identify the real reason for not moving forward.
Silence first. Use awkward silence to your advantage to get clarity.
Use a direct question to get clarity. How come you are not ready to move forward?
Paraphrase their statement and then pause.
Never buy into your prospect’s procrastination. Turn it into an opportunity to clarify the reason for procrastinating, provide a solution, get acceptance, and then trial close.

Ashley Norton Light Bronze (LT) Patina Update

Due to ongoing production challenges, we regret to advise that we have discontinued our Light Bronze (LT) patina from our Solid Bronze Collection, for both door and cabinet hardware. 
This only affects the Light Bronze patina. Our other bronze finishes remain available for order:


Dark Bronze (BZ)
Matte Black (TC)
White Bronze (WL)
White Medium (WM)
Natural Bronze (NB)



Ashley Norton will complete orders for Light Bronze placed with us prior to November 24. We will continue to accept Light Bronze orders for approximately six months, but only to complete existing jobs, or in the event of a warranty concern. Should you prefer to change the finish for Light Bronze orders on hand with us, please contact us so we can look at production status and advise on best options. 


We are working on plans to update displays and we will be in contact shortly with further details.  We ask that Light Bronze product not be removed from displays since the lever/backplate design, or cabinet hardware design is still current. We will ask our sales representatives to replace LT pieces with alternative finishes and we would like to recover the old pieces as finish reference samples.  We are also preparing labels which will indicate that the finish is not available but product design remains current.


We apologize for any delays your company may have experienced with our Light Bronze products over the past few months and we look forward to restoring your confidence in Ashley Norton.


We plan to develop and introduce a new finish in the medium bronze family which we can produce reliably and consistently. In the meantime, our new Natural Bronze (NB) patina may be a viable substitute for homes where a lighter bronze tone is preferred.
