Furniture Palace Int (K) Ltd’s Post

I am lucky to be able to get to lead a Sales Team at a leading home furnishings company with two terrific brands, a luxury outdoor furniture brand and a fast-growing design driven indoor furnishings brand (no secret…see my profile). One of the challenges our Sales Reps face, and they are truly terrific, is the balancing of time on the road visiting accounts, attending markets, solving problems, and answering question. Our Interior Design business is the “heart & sole” of our mission…yes, we sell to brick-and-mortar dealers, specialty showrooms, and eCommerce accounts as well as others, but our Interior Design customers drive our go-to-market thinking.    We have probably overextended ourselves with the number of customers we work with, but Covid drove tremendous Designer channel growth because of people spending more time in their homes, a shift to work-from-home, and outsized demand. As a result, many Interior Designers have less time for Sales Reps, but they rely on them more than ever before. For additional insight, read “Less Time, More Trust: The Evolution of Sales Reps in a Changing Industry” written by Haley Chouinard, in today’s Business of Home. #homefurnishings, #furniture, #salesrepresentative, #interiordesigners

I am no super dooper LinkedIn expert by any stretch of the imagination but I've just hit the 1000 connection mark which I guess is pretty cool. Hello to all my new connections and hello to you old ones. (Not old as in old people....ah you know what I mean :-)) For all those that don't know me and those who are scratching there heads thinking where do I know him from again? I am Darren, the MD of DTM Workplace Solutions Ltd where we supply all the products you need for your business. Traditionally it's always been Office Supplies, Furniture & Equipment, however as the years rolled by, Facility Management products were introduced, like kitchen, bathroom and warehouse supplies. More recently, the last 5 years or so we introduced Workwear & Uniforms with an embroidery service. It could have been so different though. In 1989 when I was looking for job, I had a choice between working for the Job Centre or working in telesales for a Wholesale Office Supplies company, Neville & Gladstone. I chose N&G because it sounded like fun and was based just a short bike ride away on Princess Street in Bedminster. And it was good fun ! Over the years I worked for B2B Office Product Dealers and then became a B2B Office Product Dealer myself. I have seen many products come and go. Tastes and trends change. The doing away of stationery rooms/ cupboards in favour of on-line ordering. In fact in between I remember loading office supplies catalogues on to customers Amstrad computers, which showed buying prices and produced purchase orders that could be FAXED. What hasn't changed and this also applies to all the Independent Office Product Dealers up and down the country is our commitment to give the best possible advice and service to our customers locally which you simply don't get with companies that are 100% on-line. We also belong to buying groups and buy direct from manufactures which make our prices very competitive. I'm being careful not ramble on now but you can probably tell that even after all these years, I am still passionate about customer service. It's at the core of what we do at DTM, just like all the other independents so if you are not buying your office supplies locally reach out to your local dealer. If you are based in Bristol & Bath, have a chat with us. We've got loads of experience, you'll be in safe hands. https://lnkd.in/dbQUuf_r

I keep coming back to this article...thinking over and over again about the evolution of the Sales Rep role in the Interior Design industry. As designers are busier, they have taken on more projects and larger projects, have embraced digital technology, and work more on a remote basis...they depend on their Sales Reps more and more. As a matter of fact, the Sales Reps that are truly successful with Interior Designers, have in a way become part of the designers team. They have forged partnerships that run deep and are collaborative and consultory.

You know how important it is to be able to provide accurate quotes to your customers Window blinds are an essential part of any home, office, or commercial space. They provide privacy, reduce glare, and can even help to regulate temperature. As a result, it's important to have a reliable and accurate quoting system in place when selling or installing window blinds. Good quoting software will allow you to quickly and easily generate quotes for potential customers. It should be customizable so that you can add or remove features as needed. And it should be easy to use, so that you can focus on selling rather than learning the software. With a good quoting system in place, you'll be able to provide your customers with the accurate information they need to make a decision. And that can make all the difference when it comes to closing a sale. But creating quotes can be a time-consuming and error-prone process, especially if you're still using paper and pencil. That's where BlinQ software comes in. BlinQ is a quotations software that is designed specifically for window furnishing businesses like yours. With BlinQ, you'll be able to create custom quotes for your customers quickly and easily. And because the software is highly customizable, you'll be able to tailor the quotes to each individual customer's needs. So if you're looking for quotation software that will save you time and help you close more sales, then look no further than BlinQ. https://lnkd.in/gZAD5xUD?
