Greetings!
 What's
on your to-do list?
As you wrap up fall-season tasks for your customers, here are some proactive
things to work on:
Fill any remaining
openings in 2016's schedule. Got room to squeeze
in more work? Pick up the phone! You'll be surprised
how many sales you can close just by calling and checking in.
Even if you don't make a sale, a check-in call reinforces business next
season. Be sure to offer popular November services like landscape
lighting and holiday decorating.
Get going on contract
renewals. Being proactive locks in the business early. Client
communication is important year-round, but is especially critical at
decision-making time.
Invest your 2016
profits wisely. Set aside dollars to fund winter
projects. Whether you need a better website, an improved employee recruiting
program or new software, now is the time to allocate dollars and engage
vendors. By starting now, you will be certain to be ready for next
spring.
Let us know how we can help you have a great finish to your season.

How Non-UL486D Listed Connectors Put You at Risk
 It's just a twist-on wire connector, how different could one
really be from the other? The answer is miles apart. Especially when working
in potentially wet, damp or direct bury locations, using a connector that is
UL 486D Listed is fundamental to the integrity of the connection and the
functionality of an overall irrigation or lighting system.
Choosing a non-UL connector can really put a contracting
company at risk. Here's how:
- Liability:
Using a connector not approved by a reputable source (UL) means the risk
of injury or property damage increases exponentially. If an injury or
property damage occurs due to a faulty connection, the company who
installed that system can be held liable.
- Compliance: A
non-UL Listed connector puts the entire system at risk of non-compliance
with national and local codes.
- Reputation: In
this world of online reviews and smarter consumers, sacrificing quality
is not an option. One non-UL connector failure could destroy an entire
irrigation or lighting system...and take your reputation down with it.
King Innovation's DryConn®
Black Series Wire Connectors have the coveted UL 486D Listing. They have
endured rigorous testing to confirm they are completely waterproof,
direct bury, corrosion proof, UV resistant and compliant with all UL 1838
landscape lighting systems. Take a look at the video to
learn more about DryConn Black Series Connectors!
