What happens when price wars are killing everyone's margins? Pete sits down with two industry heavyweights who've seen it all—and lived to tell about it.
Michael Magnuson from GoodBed brings the data that'll make you rethink everything about how customers actually shop for mattresses (spoiler: it's not just about price). Mark Quinn from Shifman Mattress has been in the trenches for decades—retail, manufacturing, you name it—and he's got war stories about stores that broke free from the race to the bottom.
This isn't some fluffy "add more value" conversation. These guys get into the real tactics that separate profitable retailers from the ones barely hanging on. Quinn's seen what works (and what doesn't) across every part of the business, while Magnuson's got the consumer research that explains why some stores can charge premium prices while others can't give mattresses away.
If you're tired of competing on price alone, this episode gives you the roadmap to escape before it's too late.

The Ante4autism Texas Hold’em tournament in Las Vegas was founded in 2009 by Doug Krinsky and is now held at the South Point Hotel and Casino each July. Doug and his wife Kelly Krinsky founded Beat Autism Now, Inc. a 501 C 3 not for profit organization, in 2008. The Ante4autism event is now part of Beat Autism Now as the main event conducted every year. There is now a Host Committee of 12 individuals from across the country that help organize and run the Ante4autism event each year.
Ante4autism was started to raise awareness about Autism and raise money within the home furnishings industry, to help support the needs of the families impacted by Autism. As of August 2021 they have raised over $1,000,000. The proceeds of the event are now donated back to five Autism related charities each year.
We have donated to national autism advocacy groups such as Autism Speaks as well as local organizations like the National Autism Association Southeast Ohio chapter. Each charity has their own unique identity. They do many great things to help the families impacted by Autism, such as research into the best therapies and grants to families to help pay for medical expenses.

Steve Karns is the VP of Sales and Business Development for Bedding Industries of America. Steve is an industry veteran with more than forty years of experience. Steve is well known for his knowledge of the mattress industry and his business acumen. He is a people person who is universally admired by everyone.
Stu Carlitz began his lifelong career in the mattress industry as a high school student working in a Serta factory in Pennsauken, New Jersey. Next, he became a sales representative in the early 1980s for Therapedic Sleep Products of New Jersey. Several years later, Carlitz opened his own factory in the Philadelphia area, and, in 1994, merged it with Therapedic Sleep Products of New Jersey. He later formed the Mattress Development Co., which acquired Eclipse in 1999.
Today, Carlitz owns a 125,000-square-foot factory in North Brunswick, New Jersey, that is known corporately as Bedding Industries of America. The BIA plant is the largest licensee of Eclipse International and produces several other bedding brands, including Eastman House, Ernest Hemingway and Therapedic. He also manages the manufacturing network for the Saatva brand.
“Stu Carlitz is the classic example of what hard work, dedication and a burning desire to learn can accomplish,” said Ron Cooper, president of GMFA. “He started out sweeping factory floors as a teenager and now owns one of the biggest bedding manufacturers in the business. His impact on the industry is being felt far beyond the Philadelphia area where he got his start.”

Some companies work with Jeff for a few days, others for a few months, and some for several years on an advisory basis. They consistently rave about his ability to reach and engage their teams, and that’s a difference-maker. Sales leaders are coming to him to help their teams create more opportunities, shorten sales cycles, and close deals at higher profit margins. The current sales environment is challenging, and many of their reps have never sold in a tough economy.
Your team can’t do any of this effectively without a strong belief system; belief in what you do, whom you do it for, how you do it, and why. It’s at the heart of everything Jeff trains, speaks, and coaches on. Jeff calls it #SellLikeYou.
When you Sell Like You, you create better connections, more productive tension in the sales process, and better outcomes for your clients.
When you Sell Like You, you bring integrity to your methods; it enables you to do your best work, and it’s the common denominator among every top performer Jeff has ever worked with.
Jeff will get you there by helping you Rethink The Way You Sell®

Brenden is the founder of MasterTalk, he coaches ambitious executives & entrepreneurs to become top 1% communicators in their industry. He also has a popular YouTube channel called MasterTalk, with the goal of providing free access to communication tools for everyone in the world.
After many years of doing presentation case competitions (think professional sports for nerds) in university, Brenden accidentally developed a skill in helping others communicate effectively and started the YouTube channel MasterTalk.

Brenden heard a ton of advice that didn't make much sense like "be yourself" or "get up on stage" or better: "imagine everyone in their underpants". Brenden pressed record on his phone, started filming videos on communication in his mom's basement, and now the goal is to help everyone master this important skill!

Ari Galper is the founder and CEO of Unlock The Game® and is the world’s number #1 authority on trust-based selling. He has been featured in CEO Magazine, Forbes, INC Magazine, SkyNews and the Australian Financial Review.
As trust becomes the most important currency in the new economy, the act of selling as a dehumanizing process with endless “chasing”, has been completely re-invented and anchored in the timeless values of integrity and trust – through Trust-Based Selling.
In his best-selling book, “Unlock The Sales Game”, Ari describes his revolutionary sales approach based on getting to the truth and why having a mindset of focusing on deep trust, instead of “the sale” – is, ironically, 10 times more profitable.

Carson Heady entered the sales arena at age 22 and has found success at every level, from top-flight sales representative to a division leader over 200+ people. His devotion to the sales game occupied much of his time, but the desire to write never left his mind.
Once Carson realized his great aptitude in the game of sales, he decided to write his first novel – “Birth of a Salesman” – which told the story of a young man who came into prominence in the sales arena and doubled as a self-help sales advice manual to guide others to the level of success he achieved. He is a profound public speaker, superior corporate leader and, in addition to having letters featured in prominent magazines and local newspapers, he wrote his own bi-weekly column for his department.

The Ante4autism Texas Hold’em tournament in Las Vegas was founded in 2009 by Doug Krinsky and is now held at the Golden Nugget each January. Doug and his wife Kelly Krinsky founded Beat Autism Now, Inc. a 501 C 3 not for profit organization, in 2008. The Ante4autism event is now part of Beat Autism Now as the main event conducted every year. There is now a Host Committee of 12 individuals from across the country that help organize and run the Ante4autism event each year. Ante4autism was started to raise awareness about Autism and raise money within the home furnishings industry, to help support the needs of the families impacted by Autism. As of February 2020 they have raised $854,917. The proceeds of the event are now donated back to five Autism related charities each year. Ante4Autism has donated to national autism advocacy groups such as Autism Speaks as well as local organizations like the National Autism Association Southeast Ohio chapter. Each charity has their own unique identity. They do many great things to help the families impacted by Autism, such as research into the best therapies and grants to families to help pay for medical expenses.

Everybody knows the world of sales can be tough, and it’s easy to get discouraged when the rejections start piling up, and your customers stop picking up the phone. The wrong thought patterns can start to set in, and pretty soon you aren’t making your quota and are looking through job listings on your lunch break, waiting for the axe to fall. Mark Hunter’s own start in sales was inauspicious, to say the least. He was fired from his first two stints before he began to learn the lessons that he covers in A Mind for Sales. He discovered that sales can be incredibly rewarding, such as when your customers call you for advice, thanking you for improving their business, and letting you know they just referred you to colleagues. The difference is simply developing mindset and momentum habits. The good news is that you can learn how to grow a mind for sales like Hunter’s: "Today, sales is my life. It has gone way past being a job. I do not even see sales as a profession anymore; it is a lifestyle, and one I am proud to be living. I cannot imagine doing anything else."

The Pete Primeau Show welcomes one of the best marketers on the planet - Owner of Trent Bedding: Trent Ranburger.
Residents of south-Central Kentucky know—and adore—Trent Ranburger through his sleep shop’s hilarious commercials, customer service and commitment to area charities. For more than a decade, they’ve watched founder and owner Trent Ranburger don costumes and take on alter egos to tout his eponymous bedding shop. Whether they star Ranburger in character or as his own enthusiastic self, the commercials are goofy, funny and, most importantly, memorable. They have made Ranburger a local celebrity and Trent Bedding a success in a crowded market that now includes upwards of 40 retailers selling beds in Warren County, population about 120,000.
A few years ago, Ranburger introduced a new character to customers: his sidekick, Lil Trent. The custom-made puppet, ostensibly a new employee at the retailer, made his rap video debut with Trent and the rest is history!

I was in a marketing meeting last night and found myself blurting out with authority “You are not your customer!” Oftentimes as business owners we craft advertising messages that focus on us instead of our ideal target customer.
Sometimes as salespeople we treat our customers the way we want to be treated. The Golden Rule is a great start but as marketers and salespeople we must go further. We must come all the way across the table and really spend time and energy into thinking about our ideal target customers and what they want and need.
Let me give you a few examples of how believing that you are your customer can hurt your advertising and sales. If you are a salesperson whose income is less than your customers and you believe you are your customer you will believe that they won’t buy your products because you think they can’t afford it. But they can! Remember You are not your customer!
If you are a business owner who thanks to hard work and proper focus has made it financially. As you socialize at the yacht club and attend dinner parties you start to be influenced by your new friends. You might start to pull back on your advertising in both energy and urgency to make it more appealing to the new you. over the years there is a real tendency to make your advertising prettier. Remember ugly ads often pull better than pretty ads especially if you sell middle priced to promotional goods. If you are selling high end goods your ads need to be more elegant.
Sometimes folks from other professions retire and after a few years of golfing and fishing go back to work as an RSA in a furniture or mattress store. By the way these salespeople are usually worth their weight in gold. They too need to remember that “You are not your customer”
The three pillars of marketing are Media, Message, and Market. Right? Wrong! Market is #1, Message is #2 and Media is #3. if you as a store owner don’t accurately target your ideal customer(Market) you will never get your message right. You could actually have the right media but the wrong message and your advertising investment is wasted.
If you do not focus on who your ideal customer is your advertising, display, merchandising, sales education and service will all be wrong leaving you with high advertising costs and low sales. not to mention your customers won’t enjoy your store and your employees won’t want to work in your store. So please remember to focus on your ideal target customer and remember you are not your customer.
Knowledge is power. Knowing that you are not your customer will improve all aspects of your store. Take time every week if not everyday to reflect on this truth. Reflection to the point of introspection will make us all better store owners and salespeople. Have a Great Market and a Great Weekend!

You can't manage time, you can only manage yourself. Store owners are among the busiest people I know. I have been working for or with furniture and mattress store owners for thirty four years.
Know Yourself- Are you more productive in the morning, afternoon or at night?
First things first- Take care of your health, your energy and your creativity first. Without your health you aren’t any good to anyone including yourself. Make sure you pay attention to exercise, diet, and sleep. Guard your energy. Your customers, your staff and your family need you to be a leader and appositive influence. You can’t do that without energy. Stay away from negative people and start your day with your ritual of thankfulness and/or prayer. Your creativity is the first thing that goes when things are sliding in the wrong direction. Consider it an early warning system to correct your attitude and thinking patterns when you aren’t as creative as usual. Take action now or sooner. Talk a walk or listen to some music. Watch a funny video. If none of this works evaluate your rest, diet and exercise.
Free Yourself from dependent business relationships. Seek to liberate yourself from the day to day operations of the store as much as you can. Coach and empower your staff to take care of your customers just like you would. Continuous feedback is the key. I said the word coach on purpose.
Get used to saying no. Get comfortable with no. This is the key to winning back your life from the chains that you put there in the first place.
Because there are so many things to do everyday in every store you must prioritize the work for everyone and then circle back and make sure the work was done and done right. The time you invest in coaching your staff is a real leverage point in your business.
Alone time- You must create space in your schedule to work on your business instead of in your business.
Single handle- Once you pick it up finish the task. Don’t pick it up unless you can finish it.
Define for your staff boundaries- Your staff needs to know when and how to approach you. If you don’t create some space you will never get your work done.
Build a Schedule. Make it sacred. You must respect your word as law. If you don’t respect yourself no one else will. Your internal dialogue is important and it is the key to all other communication. Keep it real and Keep it positive!
Activity doesn't equal results- Do not let yourself off the hook. Make that you create a culture in your company that values results.
To Do List- Only put important tasks on it. Do not write trivial things down. Pick a handful of important tasks and get them done.
I hope this helps you build a stronger more profitable business and helps you to enjoy your business more. Please call or email me with any questions that you have. Finish the week strong!

I never wanted to be a salesman. My game plan in high school and college was to be a pro football player. Ask anyone that I went to high school or college with if they ever thought of me as a candidate to be a salesman.
Those of you who know me as a salesman are shocked by the title of this article. I can hear you say, "Pete, you love to sell. You love us!" You are right. I do love selling but more importantly I love to help my store owners and salespeople to sell more and to make more money. I love to see the smiles on your faces as you achieve success.
I can hear you now so, "Pete, what is up with the title of this podcast?" It's true that I didn't want to be a salesman. Why? Because I thought salespeople were slimy selfish people who hounded people into buying products that they didn't need. I also believed that some salespeople were so good that they could magically hypnotize a person into buying a product that they didn't need. Are there horrible people with no morals? Yep. And some of those people are in sales. In my experience these people don't last very long in the furniture and mattress industry.
Here is what I've learned in the past thirty four years of selling. The very best salespeople are also the very best people. Customers can smell a phony a mile away. The very best salespeople are committed to continuous self improvement. They don't miss an opportunity to improve themselves. They read books and articles. They listen to CDs and podcasts like this one.
The very best salespeople Love people. They sell to help improve their customer's lives! I do too! Here is to your success today. For more tips on sales and business go to peteprimeau.com.

One of my favorite books is Dale Carnegie’s “How To Win Friends & Influence People” I first read it in high school and when I graduated from college my Dad gave me his copy of it that was printed in 1964 when I was just four years old. I often refer back to this book. In this episode I interview my co-host and friend who is a certified Dale Carnegie Instructor about Dale Carnegie courses,
Doug’s first Dale Carnegie book was “Stop Worrying & Start Living” In 2011 Doug took a Dale Carnegie course to help out a friend who did not want to go alone. Little did he know this favor he did for a friend was about to change his life. Even though the course didn’t contain any new knowledge, it helped Doug to implement solid principles into his business and everyday living. He took up the instructor of the course to become a graduate assistant. Doug became a fixture at Dale Carnegie as a graduate assistant to the point he needed to take the next step and that step was to become a certified Dale Carnegie instructor.
It was a two year process to become a certified Dale Carnegie instructor. After listening to this interview you are interested in Dale Carnegie courses Just Click Here http://www.dalecarnegie.com.

I just upgraded to premium on Evernote so I asked my friend, co-host, and millennial Doug Stewart to help this fifty five year old man get the most out of Evernote. Doug’s tips and step by step instruction in this audio lesson were so fun and so easy that I was able to complete them while we recorded this episode.
Want to get more organized? Want to save a few hours a week using Evernote? Evernote is an app that will sync across platforms. Whatever I do on my iPhone will be transferred to my iPad and my MacBook Pro lap top whenever I open the app automatically. You can save emails into Evernote. You can save handwritten notes into Evernote. There is a free version that you can do everything that we did in this episode with.
I with Doug’s expert instruction save a business card into Evernote. It was a simple as opening my Evernote App on my phone up and snapping a picture. Evernote then asked me what to do with the pic. I chose save to contact and it automatically saves all the information from the card to a contact card. The phone number and email are clickable directly in Evernote.
Doug walked me through making an audio recording which was easy. One of the coolest things about Evernote is everything in Evernote can be accessed through a link that is easily created so you can share that information to teammates or business associates. Evernote creates a link that permits the user access to only that information and nothing else.
Here is the link to create an online course directly in Evernote.

This audio lesson is a discussion between Doug Stewart and myself about Tuft & Needle’s article “Death of the Salesman” My friend and co-host Doug Stewart lit a fire underneath me about a week ago when he posted an article that Tuft & Needle posted named “Death of the Salesman” in our closed Facebook called the “No BS Sales School For Furniture & Mattress Store Salespeople” It’s only closed to the public. If you sell furniture or mattresses you are most welcome to join our group. It’s a great group of sales professionals who educate, support, and motivate each other. Just Click Here https://www.facebook.com/groups/571859249526559/.
I’ve included the link to the article so you can read it for yourself and make your own judgements about the veracity of the information put forth. Warning before you read Tuft & Needle’s article “Death of the Salesman” take your blood pressure medicine. Click Here to read Tuft & Needle’s work of fiction https://m.tuftandneedle.com/death-of-the-salesman-4b27a5b14b94#.duyg9resh. Can you tell what I think about it?

I interview Doug Stewart regarding his favorite resources to have a great year. Doug participated and attended more conferences last year in years past. He plans on doing more this year. Doug enjoys the networking and educational opportunities at conferences. Doug is planning on being very intentional with his social media this year and encourages us to do the same. He took the Dale Carnegie course “High Impact” last year. Doug encourages anyone who communicates at work to take this course. Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die by Chip & Dan Heath was a book that Doug enjoyed. He also recommends The Artisan Soul: Crafting Your Life Into A Work Of Art By Erwin Raphael McManus for those who want to tap into their creative side. Doug encourages everyone to invest in themselves like Jeff Giagnocavo does. Jeff is constantly upgrading his marketing education by buying courses, attending conferences, and participating in masterminds. Jeff’s store Gardner’s Mattress & More has one of the highest AUSP in the industry! Be like Jeff! He also recommend Pat Flyn’s Smart Passive Income Podcast. Just Click Here www.smartpassiveincome.com/category/podcast. The best part is it’s free! If you are considering doing a podcast Pat has a tremendous course which is free. Just Click Here www.smartpassiveincome.com/how-to-start-a-podcast-pod… Doug also recommends Andy Stanley Leadership Podcast. Just Click Here itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/andy-stanley…. Doug encourages owners, RSAs or reps who spend a lot of time in their cars to get a subscription to audible. I did a couple years ago and because I drive twenty or more hours a week it helps me to stay on top of the best business practices and best advertising and marketing ideas so I can help my dealers grow their business. He just took a great online course with Seth go den called Start Up School. Doug believes that success this year will 100% predicted by one’s desire. You can reach more of Doug’s thoughts right here, Just Click Here http://doug-stewart.com. For Shownotes go to peteprimeau.com
Doug and I discuss what we learned from last year. Doug learned the value of preparation at Furniture Today’s Future Leaders Conference. He was impressed by how well organized the event was. Doug and I both learned how to co-host a podcast last year. We learned how to moderate our two closed Facebook groups for the industry which are The No BS Sales School For Furniture & Mattress Salespeople and The No BS Business School For Furniture & Mattress Stores.
Doug points out how forming a sense of community in our closed Facebook groups helped some of our dealers avoid tragic mistakes as well as finding new ways to succeed. I learned the value of an action review for the week when I was struggling to finish my first book. It is a handwritten checklist.
Doug learned not to use his iPhone for scheduling. He now schedules everything by hand. I concur with Doug that all my scheduling is now done by hand. I tried to convert all my scheduling years ago to digital and too many things fell through the cracks. So I went back to a paper planner and I hand write all my scheduling. I also handwrite all my content creation. Doug created a journal in Evernote so he wouldn’t lose ideas.
I learned that I don't have the right to prejudge. I tell the story of how I recently prejudged that a dealer would not buy my mattress line and they bought it despite my best efforts not to sell it. I’ve learned that lesson more than once in my life. Doug tells a great story from his grandfather further illustrating my point.
I interview my co-host Doug Stewart about his talk at Furniture Today’s Future Leader’s Conference. Doug’s talk was three talks in one. He spoke about succession, leadership, and mentorship.
Doug points out the pitfalls of a bad hand-off in a family business. If you will be transitioning a business soon, don’t miss this! He dives deep into several types of bad hand-offs that can all be avoided with awareness. Many owners and soon to be owners share personality traits that help make them successful. Those same traits can make a good hand-off almost impossible unless both parties come to the table armed with understanding and awareness.
I point out the need for all stores to fully develop their unique selling proposition to maximize their stores potential. Doug defines leadership in a new and different way.
He shares a lesson that he learned while taking his daughter Kendall skating. Doug shares his formula for responsibility for the mentoring relationships in your life. He shares the 5.5 mentors that we all should have. Don’t miss this episode. Don’t miss Doug’s metaphor about swinging Kendall at the playground.

I interview John Kolencik who owns Matrix Impact about how to hire the next great salesperson. John encourages us to use simulations in our interviews to improve our hiring process.
John’s first recommendation is make the simulation as real as possible. He insists that the interview must be taped. We are trying to determine if this candidate is coachable. Multiple simulations should be used to determine coachability and aptitude.
Here are John’s Top 3 Items to focus on in the interview.
1 Learn what the candidate thinks the most important thing in selling is. The three A answers that John is looking for are:
1 Listening
2 Questioning
3 Building Relationships
2 What is their commitment to customer satisfaction? Is it in sync with yours?
3 Find out about their work ethic. There is no one question for this. There are many layers to the questions and they are peppered throughout the interview. Here are some of the questions:
1 Tell me about high school and what activities were you in?
2 Did you have a job in high school?
3 If they went to college ask them how did you pay for college?
4 What activities were you in college?
5 Can you tell me about your first job?
I talk about my old boss from Serta’s favorite question to ask in an interview. John shares a story about how one of his customers almost hires a professional bass fisherman who was gone eight to ten weeks a year!
I ask John, “How do we get our salespeople off to a good start?” John’s answers are enlightening and at times surprising. Don’t miss this interview! If you have questions for John call him at 216-347-6729 or go to his website at matriximpact.com.

Doug Stewart Interviews me about my new book “Sell A Million” which despite it’s title is not a sales book but rather it is a marketing book written for furniture and mattress stores but it’s principles and techniques could be applied to any business.
Doug points out that the book is a philosophy book as much as a marketing book that has my philosophy of doing the right thing written into every chapter. There are over 101 tips to help furniture and mattress store owners to sell another million dollars or more this year. Doug asks me why he wrote the book. Doug asks what one thing if a store was only going to do one they should do. As always Doug and I have lots of laughs.
I mentioned Doug, Jeff Giagnocavo, and Simon Aronowitz as people who have had an influence on this book. The best way to order the book “Sell A Million” is to Just Click Here https://www.createspace.com/5979471?ref=1147694&utm_id=6026.

Doug Stewart and I interview communications and social media expert Julia Rosien who is the Brand Engineer for Restonic. She discusses the importance of online reviews not just for the referral value which is enormous but for SEO value as well.
Julia stresses the importance of RSAs using their positive online reviews as a tool to close more sales. She also observes that very few RSAs ask their customers for online reviews. She then helps to understand that not all negative on line reviews are actually all negative. There is massive SEO value to all reviews whether they are positive or negative. If it is negative we should view this as an opportunity to correct the problem and potentially create a raving fan.
Julia shares her secret sauce for handling a negative review into a positive. The first step is to say “Thank You”. The second step is to say “I’m Sorry”. The third and final step is to take it offline. It cannot and must not be solved online. Get on the phone with the customer and solve the problem. One of my dealers volunteered his cell phone online and asked the customer to call him. After he solved the problem he asked the customer to go back online and post online that they were now happy. Julia points out that a customer who comes back online and gives a great review after a complaint can be extremely powerful.
I apologize for my air conditioning kicking on. I can’t edit it out because I recorded it in garageband. The conversation between Doug and Julia was so powerful that I didn’t want you to miss a second of it. She encourages all retailers to follow up with correspondence to the customer within thirty days of purchase to make sure that they are happy by email.

Doug Stewart describes customer’s expectations about quality and price. Allowing your customer to leave your store with a low price and a unrealistically high expectation of product performance is sales malpractice. I share an example of selling straight to eliminate unrealistic consumer expectations from my own experience.
Appropriate expectations are the key to creating value and selling responsibly.
Doug shares a story about his Grandfather teaching him how to buy for their furniture store. Selling an item for $2 that you bought for $1 is . Doug was taught by his grandfather that value is selling an item that your customer would be willing to give you $3 for $2.
Never sell anyone anything. Help them to sell themselves. Give customer ownership of their decision. If customer picks an item that is not the right product for them. Doug suggests asking them this question, “Is price more important than quality?” If they say yes then write it up. Asking them that question fulfills your obligation to sell responsibly. If they say no then further educate them about what the product will and won’t do.
Doug asks “What do you call a person who makes a decision for anther person without their consent?” When you decide not to show your best products, furniture protection, and mattress protection to a consumer you are taking away their right to make their own decision. Treat every customer as if they can buy your best products and let them decide for themselves. Plus much more Join us for this podcast!

I interview the Adjustable Bed Guru Randy Thompson on the secrets to selling adjustable beds. This July Randy sold 29 beds so far this month and it’s early on July 29th. Please excuse the noise from the AC. Randy’s small store in Van Wert, Ohio with a population of 10,774 will ship almost $1,000,000 in sleep systems this year with one full-time salesperson.
Randy describes training two mattress stores in North Carolina that immediately doubled their adjustable bed sales after his Silver Bullet training.
Randy’s first secret is that he spends a lot of time understanding the customer’s problems when it comes to how they sleep. His advice is to be a problem solver for people with sleep problems.
Randy’s selling system is not brand driven it is customer back driven. The secret is finding the mattress that supports their back. Randy has very specific techniques that will help any RSA find the perfect mattress for your customer.
Randy’s Silver Bullet training is available two ways. The first way is Randy will come to you and train you and your staff. The second way is to arrange a time with Randy to visit him at his store. If you can come to Randy he will give you a 50% discount on his training program. Call Randy at 419-238-3399 to learn how to sell adjustable beds if you are small furniture or mattress store. Randy doesn’t train large chains. Call Randy today and start selling more adjustable beds!

In this episode you will learn;
Why list building is important.
Don’t Play in someone else’s sandbox.
The cautionary tale of My Space.
How To Build a List.
How Lead Gen magnets work to build a list. Lead Gen Magnets allow you to get a customers email and possibly additional information in exchange for relevant information that you provide for them that they find valuable. It could be a PDF, a checklist, FAQ PDF, a video, or an ebook. You can even offer a physical book in exchange for their address and phone number. The way we recommend you do this you would already have their email.
How to develop a Lead Gen Magnet

The importance of Trust in selling and how a Lead Gen Magnet can create Trust and authority.

Lead Gen Magnets can be used on the phone, on the floor, on your website because they separate your store from the competition and position you as the authority in your market.
I discuss the importance of over delivering on your Lead Gen Magnet. I use my own PDF as an example, “The 9 Biggest Mistakes Furniture & Mattress Stores Make & How To Avoid Them”. My dealers expect to get a one page PDF but what they get instead is a deep dive into each question with well over 50 ideas on how to make more money in a mini ebook which is 8 pages long. When you over deliver you create value. To get your FREE copy just go to peteprimeau.com.
Doug gives more ideas on providing extra value to your customers.
