“Qualify More Effectively, Estimate Quickly, Get a Commitment Faster” (0.1 CEU)

Have you ever spent hours with a person who has no intention of giving you money? Most kitchen and bath dealers spend too much time, and give away too much knowledge, prior to receiving a commitment from the potential customer. Steve will discuss ways to quickly and accurately estimate a project and a professional way of discussing the budget with a potential customer. By spending less time with non-customers, you will have additional time to devote to your paying customers.
