March 2016
Greetings!
Have you made bold plans for 2016?
Don't settle for the same stress and hassles that bogged you down last
season. It's time to
take action before the season starts.
Find more "sweet spot" customers. Make an effort to go
after the kind of customers who help grow your business season after
season. Make a list of the services you like to sell and the areas you
like to cover, then go for those accounts.
Improve your company's productivity. Work to cut wasted time
and effort that comes from poor organization, equipment downtime and lack of employee
knowledge. Invest now in training and systems to get more done during the
season.
Get the right people on your team. Start your recruiting effort
to get committed, driven team players. Stop putting up with poor
performers. Great workers are out there!
Be ready for growth. Spring
2016 is going to be busier than past seasons. Be bold in bringing on
additional resources to be ready for a great season.

Don't neglect opportunities that are available to you
In today's climate, you would think that
companies would be jumping on every opportunity. But many lack the systems
and the motivation to turn inquiries into dollars. Understand quality leads have a short shelf life.
Customers are picking up the phone or clicking on your
web site because they want something now. Procrastinating on follow up simply gives your competition
a chance to get ahead of you in the sales race. Recognize opportunity appropriately.
Sometimes leads don't come in the form of a voice message or web site form.
Often they're more subtle. For example, a customer might say "I'd really
be interested in landscape lighting like you did for
Mrs. Searcy." Sounds like opportunity, right? Dig deeper.
Show interest. Then follow-through! Follow a
process. Set up a simple system to turn warm
leads into buyers. Use a calendar to remind yourself to
stay in touch. And make use of new tools like e-mail marketing to make sure
they stay up to date on your offering. Remember it's
not a "no" until they say so. |

When's the right time to recommend a Kichler
LED drop-in lamp? Maybe your
customer has incandescent fixtures and is not willing to start over.
Know the benefits of replacing incandescent
with Kichler LED. Kichler's
latest LED lamps offer improved
lumen output, while consuming less wattage than halogen or incandescent for
superior energy savings. And their durability means no replacement bulbs for
six years. In fact, third-party testing confirms that
the lamps will pay for themselves in
less than two years. Know what sets Kichler LED
lamps apart. Designed and tested for use in residential and commercial applications, Kichler
lamps generate a consistent light output even under a
wide operating range. They also offer all-weather
performance, thanks to weather-coated and epoxy-potted electronics. Our
newest lamp offering includes improved beam distributions while still
delivering superior Kelvin color temperature options (2700K, 3000K or 4200K)
to help you customize the light to your application. |
