I wonder. Could you maybe be referring to Magnum RobberSteel Material with adhesive on the back side? It is printable. I do not know if would work on Ford trucks. So, it would need some checking first. Check also, the Magnetic RubberSteel will then hold your regular magnetic sheet. But that gets...

So many of the sign makers that I have encouraged to listen intentionally have reported back to me that they quickly enjoyed seeing how it worked. Improving your listening skills pays off right a way. Here is my request. Have a conversation with me and within five minutes you will know if you...

In early September, I recall having a first-time productive conversation with a sign maker on the phone. About half way through our conversation, I learned that he was in his late twenties and was in his second year of being a sign maker. For some reason, that conversation came into my thoughts...

Hmmm. A sample of my way of encouraging improved listening skills.

Thank you!!

“The proof of the pudding is in the eating.” Just in this last week, right here on Signs101, several threads have mentioned a “proof.” After all the talk, after all the design, then is the sign a success. The proof answers the question: does it deliver what is promised? Only the results show...

Scott H Here is an out of the box idea: Ask your sales rep from either NGlantz or TubeLite if they will tell you the name of any of their customers who have ordered the gallon. Then, contact that buyer and ask if they would be willing to sell you a small amount. Or, if you could farm out the...

Jeremiah Thank you for taking the time to reply. I am grateful. I am not sure if I fully understand your question. Let me try to be specific. Apparently you have seen something in my thread that requires certified skills. I am not trying to avoid your concern. I am attempting to make sure I...

Notarealsignguy I want to express my appreciation for your replies. Since my main focus is on listening skills, I also want to pick up on another of your phrases. "It requires much more than just listening." Let me build on that. As I see it, listening is the foundation skill. Without it, the...

Boudica Thank you for your reply. So few reply so I want you to know how much I appreciate it. Yes, I am a merchant member. And, yes, I am peddling my service. And, you could say I am looking for help. You ask, "Which is it?" I prefer the approach of being an encourager. And that is exactly what...

Gino Yes, I have missed your point. Out of all that you have said to me here in this thread, please pick just one of them and then if you would, kindly help me to get where you do indeed sense that I fully understand that one important item. If you would rather not, no problem.

Gino Again, thank you for your feedback. It seems that you feel I have not heard you. Right?

Notarealsignguy You make an astute observation. I am learning and practicing how to capture readers attention so that they want to read the whole thing. I know I have a lot to learn, but I am working on it.

Gino Thank you for your reply. I appreciate your variety of ideas. We are in the a business that uses tools. If we apply that to listening, then my goal is to have a full tool box and being highly skilled in using each of them at will. In my experience, in having conversations about recent...
