Customers and the Value of a Well Spoken Word!

Customers and the Value of a Well Spoken Word!

We have been listening to the Financial Forecasts then find ourselves Fretting over the uncertainties for many in business.  We continue reading and following the “ups and downs” of the Economy only to find that in the end, all annoy and discourage us.

With each new day we are hopeful for change and I am wondering what methods others
who struggle find to conquer what seems bleak; to turn it into HOPE?

Consider this; 
  • What is the source of your fear?  Is it doubting your own ability?  Why?
  • Who‘s voice do you seek to overcome in doubt?  Don’t believe untruth?
  • When you feel stuck in hopelessness.  Give hope to those around you!

 Why do we give up so easily?  Because we forget  to be CREATIVE!

How many times did Edison try until he discovered the possibilities of a light bulb?
How many times did Bell try until he heard a voice on the other end of a telephone?
Think of the possibilities in Your Work and discover new ways to promote them.

Often people give up just before their situation may have turned around;

Don’t let that be your story!  
You are capable, gifted and unique; use what you have and what you know!

Try these Suggestions they have been a guide for us:
  1. Ask questions, rely on resources available like past Customers
  2. You put all you have into your work and the majority of Customers realize it.  Get permission to use their project and/or name as reference.
  3. Many times the positive “Word of Mouth” opens the door to your next customer.  Contact, Call, Email, or Snail mail what you do.
  4. Speak well of others and they most often will speak well of you.
  5. If you can’t help a customer explain why, and offer other options or contacts
  6. Above All Have Integrity! Your name is Worth Your Effort!
                        
Remember This: Restoration of anything even your Business is not a renewal or re-creation, but a New Plan Strengthened by an Old Vision!

Foam Backing

Foam Backing on Metal Crown Molding? What do YOU think?

It isn’t too often that we forget to mention a few of the specialty items
that we offer our Customers.
Recently we have had calls asking if we offer foam backing for any of our
Prestige Series Crown Mouldings;          And that answer is YES! 

Actually we have had the option to offer a Foam Backing with each of our custom
finished Prestige Series Profiles for many years. 


You may ask, “What is the Advantage of Foam backing on Metal Crown Molding”?

Advantage really is better said as preference;
1.    An easier installation on certain areas of a project.  Prestige Series Aluminum Crown
      Mouldings are offered and ordered in various aluminum gauges;
             Gauges include .019, .027, .024 .032 (Kynar Painted) and .040.
             Also available is Copper in 16 oz

2.    The lighter gauge aluminums are available in a wider array of color and are
             very popular within the Home/Apartment/Town Home development or planning
             process. Foam backing being offered adds a sense of security when color takes
             precedence over gauge.

Foam Backing does not strengthen the aluminum but it does provide a more firm backing
and allows for easier installation/nailing of a length of Metal Molding.
Foam Backing is not indicated on restoration or renovation; when covering over the
already existing crown trim.

Foam backing is not adhered to the metal crown molding so it can be removed or
cut to fit a specific area.


Of course anytime a question surfaces; We are only an email or phone call away
and always happy to offer our expertise.
