Dust sheets (please read)

[REDSAW]

are they made from carbon-kevelar?

 

[Dannypipe]

I'm still not convinced that people will pay the extra. We sell a stair runner 24ft x 3ft cheapo dust sheet for under £5, and a 12ft x 9ft for £5.95 + VAT. At those prices, they are just consumables.

See what I was saying earlier, for a fiver, once it's trashed. Through it away. These expensive sheets sound great, but I for one won't be putting a dust sheet through the wash!

Cheers for your time though everyone who got involved.

*Throw, wish I could edit that!

Cotton twill sheets are horrible. This is like driving to work on a unicycle or a transporter!

 

[rocketmanbkk]

Too rich for me friends. Sorry.

Have to say floor protec have kind of piddled on my bonfire! There was me thinking I'd started a dust sheet revolution. It makes you wonder who they actually sell these sheets too to keep a company afloat?

Just want to say a massive thanks to ray for his time and effort as well as jumping on this for everyone. So once again thanks ray.

i have to say I am disappointed with floor protec on this one we stand as an un tapped market requesting something a little smarter, we hand them an outlet ie Williams and they can't come down in price

Lets not give up yet people! You can't rush these things, unless you want your pants pulled down.

At the moment, the florprotec rep can taste an order. Maybe a few days of silence from our end will help concentrate his mind.

 

[gasmanrob]

I like your thinking and at 3 weeks into the job he may be keen to land a sale

 

[Nostrum]

Maybe a quick tally or poll to see what people are willing to pay as a benchmark. It means Ray can potentially price fix if he wants but at the end of the day we aren't going to get them any cheaper anywhere else so what's there to lose.

Can someone start a poll?

 

[Nostrum]

Just re-read that, can't edit. Don't take that as a criticism Ray, it wasn't intended like that, I was nearly getting that argument out in the air rather than have someone potentially raise it at a later date.

Theres no no point wasting your time with this company, you need to know what people are prepared to pay and maybe put the ball in their court? I'll leave that decision to you.

Gasmanrob.

We are in week 6/7 of the new year ??

Great deals are not Normally signed within the last week of a sales quarter :6:


Relax if you want some !!

 

[Ray Stafford]

Don't take that as a criticism Ray,

Honestly, you guys! You must think I am sooooo sensitive.

I have made a living as a plumbers merchant for 28 years. My skin is therefore slightly thicker than a rhino with calluses.

There is also the chance that Ermi's supplier may also come good. This is not a hi-tech product, so any textile business ought to be able to rustle up something!

Ah, a man who knows his buying! Rule one - find out how the salesman is remunerated, what his bonus structure and targets are, and whether he is close to, far from or already past target.

 

[Nostrum]

Ok, I take it back. Say hello to criticism Ray.

Textile business ??

There is a program on the telly who run such a business.

Can"t think of the name but in years past their sales staff gave out favours ????

And if they are past targets often you headhunt them right?

 

[Ray Stafford]

Not necessarily. Some salesmen are targetted purely on volume. They are always welcome in my office, but I wouldnt necessarily want to employ them.

We don't employ salesmen anyway. (apart from one, who only calls on other merchants).
