This week four of the new Signtronix dealers went on a road trip in Montana with Signtronix RM Harold Weatherly and RM Joe Fortenberry. They had great results early on.

Doug Krueger was the first to break the ice with an LED-60 to a Vacuum Store in Great Falls, MT, his new honey hole.  It happened to be his first lite-up. After a couple of calls to TAP, Ali Howe came up with a winning combination.

That same day, Mary Blair found a Cell Phone Store in Choteau, MT with a great location for an LED-40. TAP was called and Ali Howe gave great assistance to Mary.

Who will be next… Ken Benner, Mike Piret or Paul Thomisek? So, stay tuned for late breaking ICE!

RM Weatherly is thrilled with his new dealers and proud to have them on the team and offers this advice, “Welcome to your future. If you open your store everyday, you will soar!”

Harold sends a big thank you to Roger Pelton and John Fore for the classroom training. And a huge thank you to Joe Fortenberry and Richard Houston for all their field training assistance.

Singtronix Super Salesman RM Al Borgers had his work cut out for him today.  And, we all know how much Al loves a challenge.  Al called on a Florist Shop that has been in business for over 32 years and made his presentation.   Along the way, the customer got distracted a few times.  But, being the diligent presenter that Al is, he took the challenge and ran with it.  Each time Al drew the customer back in by building value and gaining rapport.  In other words, Al made a friend!  At the end of the visit Al placed a Signtronix LED-60 and the customer is now anxious to get the sign up and working for their business!  Way to go Al!  Big time bragging rights to out to you!

Music City Just Getting Started

Thank you Signtronix for our C.A.R.P. Cash Awards Referral Program!  Eddy Ballis got a call from a previous Signtronix customer that was so excited about his new LED-60 that he was telling all his business friends.  The customer told Eddy to go see a business friend that owned a Restaurant.  His buddy now has on order a Signtronix LED-40, a Signtronix LED-60 & a flush mount Model 312 coming!  Way to go Eddy!   His previous customer has a check for $200 coming as well as a nice commission for Eddy!

Janet Kruder stopped in and talked with one of her previous customers who had ordered two Signtronix LED-40′s from her a while back.  They sent Janet to a Hardware Store where she placed a powerful Signtronix LED-60. Another commission for Janet and $200 Cash Reward for the customer.  Referrals are great but so is a little cold calling,

Tyler Eckenrod started the week with a Signtronix LED-40 combo.   He will surely get some good referrals from his recently placed customers!  And we’re just getting started in Music City!

A letter to Ann Landers became a favorite because of her response.  The writer talked of being older and of wanting to return to medical school and of being eight years older before getting a medical degree.  Ann Landers replied, “How old will you be in eight years if you don’t go back to school?”

Many people in reflecting about the past emphasize how important it is to have a dream and to follow it… not for money, not for prestige, not for someone else’s dream but for yourself.  A piece of you withers and dies if you do not have a dream.

Two weeks ago Signtronix RM Howard Foy was able to recruit and train 6 new dealers. With the help of Signtronix DM Jeff Foy, they cleaned the spider webs off of their samples and presentations and hit it hard.  Howard said, “These new dealers are the best I’ve ever had.”   Howard headed out with 3 of them, and they farmed a small town inMissouri.  Howard showed them how it’s done by placing a Model 48 panel change at a Restaurant with new owners. The Restaurant gave them several referrals, and then Howard showed the new dealers how to farm a town row by row. On Friday, Howard showed them 4 lite-ups and closed on 3 of them.  A Daylight Donuts Shop has a new Signtronix Model 44 Arch coming their way. The owner referred them across the street to an old Hardware Store with a new owner wanting to update his image. They were able to close on a Model 48 Crown, a set of Model 48 panels for an old  sign at another of his businesses and a 2 line Tri-color EMC for the back of his store. The last lite-up of the day was an Auto Repair Shop.  The Auto Repair Shop is now waiting for a Signtronix Model 44 Arch Flush Mount for the front of the shop.

The Signtronix Diamonds are back in action and going strong.   And it looks like Howard Foy still has his mojo!

Teamwork Makes It Happen

San Antonio Gunslingers Signtronix  RM Joel Pelton and his team are making it happen.  Signtronix DM Daniel Reuter and Clay Sultemeier are back at it writing up lots of locations inSouth Texas.  In one day the place a Model 34 to a Hair Salon, a Model 35 to an Amusement Center and Model 46 to another Hair Salon.  Way to go!

Greg Sandoval placed panel to an old customer at aBurger Place and picked up a GREAT testimonial letter.  The Burger Joint was so excited because their business had increased 200% since they got their Signtronix sign.  Nice job, Greg!

Daniel Reuter and Signtronix new dealer, Misty Blakeley, worked together trading lite-ups.  Misty wrote up an order for a set of panels to a Day Spa and then on Dan’s turn he placed a Model 36 to an Auto Repair business inAustin.  Teamwork makes it happen!

“There’s only one way to succeed in anything and that is to give it everything.”  ~Vince Lombardi

Bob then found a previous customer with one of our Model 612′s who owns an Auto Repair Shop. Bob made it possible for him to get new face panels that will give his business a great new image.  He also placed sign packages at a Jewlery Store and a Furniture Store.  The list goes on for Bob Hollen!

Alan McCamey of Signtronix did a presentation for the owner of an Antique Store.  They now have an LED-60 on the way!  He then made a call on an Optometrist and caught the owner there.  It turns out she has another office and is at the office where Alan caught her only one day a week.  Guess it was meant to be!  Alan said this was one of those “he couldn’t have messed it up if he tried.”  She is anxiously waiting for her new LED-40, and there’s a good chance she’ll get one for her other office as well!  He called on another professional business owner, a Dentist, and LET them get an ISLED-40.  Great going, Alan!

Keith Hudson in Signtronix  is getting back on track and placed an LED-60 to a business called “The Store.”  He also placed LED-60’s to a Hair Salon and a Paint.  Those 60″ window signs are killer! Right, Keith?  Welcome back!

Allan Jones  in Signtronix placed an LED-40 at a Storage Facility.  Allan said it was everything he could do to keep the owner from grabbing the paperwork and start filling it out!  That was only halfway through the presentation.  But, Allan resisted the temptation because he knew he had to follow the program so the customer would understand the benefits of what it would do for him.  That’s using your head, Allan!

Signtronix DM Cesar Alvarez and Heriberto Pena met with the owner of a Car Wash in Webster, Texas that had already been working with another Sign Company by email. Cesar gave a great presentation and Heriberto designed an awesome sign. The owner was impressed with Cesar and Heriberto and ordered a Model 612 and two EMC’s. In the middle of writing the order the gentlemen from the other Sign Company walked in and the owner said, “I guess I need to break the news to him!”  Heriberto Pena is a professional graphic designer and does outstanding designs. DM Cesar Alvarez and Heriberto continue to work hard and smart. Cesar is building a strong team and Carmen couldn’t be more proud!   A big Rhino thank you to TAP Rep Ali Howe for her endless help. “You are greatly appreciated, Ali.”

“I’ll get to it–when I get a chance.”  You know what that means don’t you? You’ll never get to it! Here are 8 simple ways to kick the procrastination habit and start getting things done.

1. BREAK IT DOWN. Seem overwhelming? Don’t look at everything as one big project. Break goals, projects or tasks down into small parts. Assign a specific deadline (date and time) to each part.
2. WRITE IT DOWN. Make it official by recording on paper, what needs to be done. When it’s written down, it’s more concrete, and there’s a greater chance you’ll start and complete it.
3. TELL SOMEONE. Tell a friend, associate or loved one what your plans are. Discuss decisions that need to be made with others. Ask a friend or associate for some ongoing motivation. Sometimes an outside perspective may be all you need to get started.
4. SCHEDULE. Establish a regular time each day to work on your goal, project or task.
5. USE PROPER TOOLS. Organize your environment, complete with the tools you need, so it is conducive to working.
6. POST REMINDERS. Keep your goals in front of you. Post reminders of your goals and deadlines where you can constantly see them.
7. I’LL ONLY DO THIS, IF I COMPLETE . . . Make something you normally do and enjoy contingent upon doing the avoided task. For example: “I will not watch my favorite television program until I complete Part A of my project.”  By the way, no fair cheating!
8. SET REWARDS. Set rewards for your ultimate goals and mini-goals. You’ll constantly have something enjoyable to look forward to.

Joel Pelton’s San Antonio Gunslingers reported lots of activity this week led by the newest Sijan Award winner, Signtronix DM Daniel Reuter. Working with Clay Sultemeier of Signtronix , they placed an LED-60 at a Tattoo Studio. Working alone, Daniel received 2 leads from a previous customer that had given him several earlier leads, but not without first placing an IS-40 at that Tattoo Studio. Maybe Daniel should consider getting Sijan wings tattooed on him. We have a feeling there are more coming! Daniel also placed a DF Model 46 at a Burger Joint and another DF Model 46 at a Day Spa. Working on his own, Clay Sultemeier placed a DF Model 46 at an Auto Repair Shop. Greg Sandoval placed a Model 48 at a Ballroom, Michael Petty placed a DF Model 48 at a Feed Store and Christina Garza placed a DF Model 48 at an Auto Business. Way to keep the factory running, Gunslingers!  We like the tattoo idea, Dan!
