Every Strike Brings Me Closer to the Next Homerun

Updates from Marvin Montgomery
Sales Tip #698 From The Sales Doctor
“Every Strike Brings Me Closer to the Next Homerun.” – Babe Ruth

When you get rejected, do you view it as a no or a not now? I love this quote by the Babe. He had a Positive Mental Attitude when he was up at the plate.

What about you? Do you maintain a PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) when you face rejection knowing that you are one step close to getting the sale?
 

Cal Faucet Finish Update

Due to the increasing popularity of our Satin Brass (PVD) and Satin Bronze (PVD) finishes, coupled with some refinements we are making to our Satin PVD processes, we have unfortunately had to extend our estimated shipping times on our Satin PVD products.  We anticipate these delays to be temporary as we further improve the capacity of our PVD operation and work through the backlog.  For our most current lead times refer to our website’s estimated lead time page.  

We know how important timely delivery is to you and your customers, and greatly appreciate your understanding. As always, we thank you for your partnership and look forward to serving you.

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.
