Real products, live prices, in stock now ## Key takeaways - One price for everyone - Know what is in stock - Contractor credit under control - Quotes in minutes ## What owners tell you Hardware stock is heavy, varied and easy to lose. Owners often cannot say how much of any item they hold. - Thousands of items and no list of what is in stock. - Prices in the owner's head and nowhere else. - Staff quote different prices to different customers. - Credit to contractors is hard to track. - Quotations are written by hand and take time. ## The words that sell Owners do not buy equipment. They buy the day they want to have. These are the outcomes to talk about when you pitch a POS to hardware shop. **One price for everyone**: Prices set in the system, not by mood. **Know what is in stock**: Search the list instead of walking the store. **Contractor credit under control**: Each account has a balance. **Quotes in minutes**: Print a quotation from the till. ## Say it like this Short, plain lines work best. Use them as they are or put them in your own words. - “Your staff will not argue about prices, because the till has one.” - “You will search the stock list before you tell a customer you have it.” - “Your contractors' credit will be a number, not a notebook.” - “You will print a quotation while the customer waits.” ## Your 30-second pitch Say this when you have the owner's attention at the counter. Stop after the question and let them answer. **Key takeaway**“Your staff will not argue about prices, because the till has one. You will search the stock list before you tell a customer you have it. Your contractors' credit will be a number, not a notebook. Can I measure your counters this week and send you a written quote?” ## What the POS gives them | Part | What the owner gets | | --- | --- | | POS terminal | Fast item search by name or code | | Barcode scanner | Quick serving for packed items | | Receipt printer | Receipts and delivery notes | | Label printer | Shelf and bin labels | | Cash drawer | Cash handling | | Handheld scanner | Stock counts in the store | ## Answers to the usual objections | The owner says | You answer | | --- | --- | | I have too many items to enter. | Start with the top 200 and add as you sell. | | My items have no barcodes. | We print labels for them. | | Customers bargain. | Allow limited discounts, recorded under a manager login. | | My staff are not used to computers. | We train them on site. | ## Available now at Qyvea These are real products from the Qyvea store with live prices.
