Oh Where or Where did Summer Go??????
Winter is upon us again. It just seemed like a short summer as everyone except the machine shops were very busy.
We at Bi-Metal have been busy ourselves, aligning with big warehouses so we can offer more products to our loyal customers. It was a good move as we have had some good sales but it hasn’t been as much as we thought.
We know it takes time for people to realize that donuts don’t make the order. Sure we deliver most items at lightning speed also but we take the time to make sure when you receive the items that they are correct and to check if there are any other items that might be required. We give this personal service to each and every client. Sometimes it is a thankless job doing the deliveries as people that wanted to meet with someone from our institution and we arrive there and the personnel reneges on seeing us. Oh well their loss.
It’s another season as we can tell. When in the mail, over the fax and emails we get requests from clients and some none clients to contribute to seasonal functions for their employees???? Think about it, businesses, asking for freebees. Hahhhhh????? We give to charities, when the time is right to the less fortunate. We look after our own employees. That is what businesses do. Not have someone else look after their most valued people. Enough said thanks for tuning in.

  1. I enjoy reading your blog from time to time and am a professional salesperson myslef. I'd have to agree that good customers asking for items for their golf, fishing, or company Christmas party is a "freebie". It a freebie for your company to advertise and be in the mindset of management as well as the good folks who repeatedly sign off on PO's or better yet, sign the cheques to you. A $50-$100 dollar coffee kit with some office mugs that people will be using 52 weeks out of the year is perhaps a justified investment for your best customers.
