If There Is No Struggle, There Is No Progress

Updates from Marvin Montgomery
Sales Tip #706 From The Sales Doctor
“If There Is No Struggle, There Is No Progress.” -Frederick Douglass
The quote “if there’s no struggle, there is no progress.” means that we need to face challenges and obstacles to make progress in our lives.

In other words, we cannot expect to achieve our goals or make meaningful changes if we do not encounter difficulties along the way.

Baldwin Estate Adjustable Latches

Baldwin Hardware is launching some new product as well has some new product enhancements that are now available to order.

New Product

Baldwin is introducing 3 new 2” diameter roses.

Product enhancements

Baldwin is launching 4 new adaptors to improve mechanical operation of the tubular knobs and levers.

                3 adaptors will be for all 2” diameter roses (knob strength, standard lever strength and large lever strength

                1 new adaptor for large lever strength for the 2-1/8” bore hole.  This addition will be added to the already existing 6503 and 6504.

Finally, Baldwin Estate has launched a new 28 Degree Adjustable (2-3/8” or 2-3/4”) latch for passage and privacy knobs and levers.  This latch also has an additional adjustable toggle between knob and lever function.  This latch is available as in “a la carte” right now.  Quick-Ship “pre-configured” passage and privacy will have a rolling change from legacy fixed latch to the adjustable latch.   

I will be going around with samples and display to conduct product training.  Please let me know if you would like to set a training date. 

I’ve attached the launch presentation as well as sku file.  However below is a link to all supporting documentation.  Click on “Here” to access the documents and videos.   A Link to images will be provided in the next couple weeks.

Sales is the Marathon of the Mind!

Updates from Marvin Montgomery
Sales Tip #705 From The Sales Doctor
Sales is the Marathon of the Mind!
We have all heard the expression that sales is a marathon and not a sprint.

If you have ever run a marathon you know firsthand what that means.

Just like a marathon, to be successful at sales it requires preparation, practice, and mental toughness

As a precautionary measure, and to ensure we continue to provide only the highest quality products, we have decided to temporarily halt all BK orders while we consult with our nano technicians.Our dedicated team in Gurnee will individually review and handle all in-house and pending orders to assess their status. This temporary stoppage is a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence and our determination to deliver perfect products to our valued dealers.It is important to communicate this message to your showroom sales staff to ensure they are informed and can accurately convey this information to your customers.In our ongoing efforts to enhance our service, we are excited to announce the installation of our third PVD chamber. This addition will be operational before 2025, allowing us to offer even greater finishes and shorter lead times in the future.We will notify you as soon as we are able to resume processing BK orders.
