A Prudent Question is One-Half of Wisdom!

Updates from Marvin Montgomery
Sales Tip #697 From The Sales Doctor
A Prudent Question is One-Half of Wisdom!

If knowledge is having the right answers, wisdom is asking the right questions.

Open-ended, thoughtful questions can provide the kind of information you didn’t even know you needed. So, the next time you need to know something, make sure you ask the right questions.

One who never asks either knows everything or knows nothing.

Delta/Brizo Cleaning

Attached, please find a helpful handout for the cleaning and care of Delta and Brizo products (Peerless too!!)  

To help you keep customers happy and pleased with their purchases, we have designed a flyer to educate customers with care and cleaning of their new products.

By following simple guidelines of care and cleaning, your customers can enjoy years of beautiful products that look like new.

It is very important to steer them towards products that do not have harsh chemicals that can destroy a finish over time………………vinegar and water is the best (and cheapest) cleaner.

Once vinegar is used, wipe with clean damp cloth and enjoy the beautiful finish!   See flyer for vinegar instructions as well as approved products that will not harm finishes.
