Understanding Comes by Active Listening

Sales Tip #528 From The Sales Doctor
Understanding Comes By Active Listening

Would you like to improve your communication with anyone that you come in contact with? The answer is very simple. Listen more and talk less. In other words, listen carefully enough to gain understanding and also listen accurately to identify their needs and concerns.

The questions you ask will immediately show how much you care. That’s how to improve your  communication and build lasting relationships.

Toto Lead Time Updates

Phylrich Lead Times

For those who have orders in you have experienced that lead times are longer recently.Phylrich had very strong growth in 2020 despite the challenges of the pandemic.  Sales were up well into double digits.
The owner invested in more equipment and employees to accommodate the growth and plan for the future.  We were making progress.
Then Phylrich announced a 10% price increase on the “legacy” designs in the program that went into effect February 1st.  
The result was a significant increase in orders the last 10 days of January as customers wanted to beat the increase.  This put us behind again.
I am told that we are making progress and expect to be back to stated lead times in 30 days.  
The company considers these finishes as standard 004, 014, 015, 026 and 040 with a target lead time of 4 to 6 weeks and all other finishes will be 8 weeks; hopefully by April 1st.  

Fleurco 2021

Hey Folks,

I’ve updated you all with the Fleurco 2021 catalogs. Here is the link for online version: https://fleurco.com/en/shower-enclosure/catalogues

The Fleurco website is very good. You can review any product and can price out any product by using the DESIGN YOUR SHOWER feature. https://fleurco.com.

This line is growing very quickly for us. It’s always been a great shower door and shower base line but now the tubs are selling very well and the new wall system is taking off.

Fleurco’s quality is excellent, price points are fair and service levels are great. If your order is in stock Fleurco ships in 2 days out of stock 2/3 weeks.

AMI Finish Update

We want to Thank You for your continued support as we work through the challenges Covid-19 has brought us. We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to deliver the best product to you and your customers!

Recently one of our major suppliers of our cultured marble has run out of material. We have anticipated this shortage and have decided to switch suppliers to ensure we are still able to produce a quality product. So what does this mean for you?

Our new supplier produces a cleaner material making our cultured marble products brighter and whiter. This will affect the majority of our white marble colors and lighter Tyvarian colors. We have attached an imagine for you to compare.

We are planning on providing new samples for our customers but at this time, the demand for ordered product is greater. We are putting all our efforts into taking care of your customers by manufacturing their orders first. We understand that you may need a specific sample and we are happy to supply those if need be. Should you need to order a sample of our new white cultured marble, please email orders@amitops.com and we will do our best to produce those as quickly as possible.

Should you have any additional questions, please feel free to email or call our office.
