Love Can Build a Bridge – But can it sell tires?
Did anyone see Wynona selling tires on the CBS show “I Get That A Lot”? This week Wynona appeared as a tire salesman to 25 or so customers at Dunlap and Kyle’s Columbia, TN, Gateway Tire location. Columbia resident Lee Hooks entered the store to see about getting a leak fixed, “My initial reaction was ‘Wow, this lady has really red hair, and she has a lot of makeup on to be working at a tire store,’” stated Hooks. “I told her I had a slow leak and she tried to sell me four new tires,” stated Hooks. You go girl! Teach us how it is done. To see more on the show which recently aired, visit:

CIRCULARS
Making the Most of Your Tire Power Software – Column Sorting in ‘View Today’s Activities’
The ‘View Today’s Activities’ window is the primary method of managing your day-to-day customer transactions. It gives you easy access to all Quotes, open Work Orders, current Website Orders, today’s Invoices, and today’s Payments. This window is the most used window in the software, so because of that fact, we are constantly trying to make the window better and more efficient. A new bonus feature on this window is the ability to now sort by the column header. For example, during a busy day, you may have many open work orders pile up under the ‘Work Orders’ tab. When the list grows too long, this makes finding a specific customer’s open work order difficult. Now, simply double-click on the column header ‘Customer’ to sort by the customer’s name. Your customers are now sorted by name, so this makes finding the customer’s name a snap. Give this tip a try the next time you need to find a customer’s transaction quickly, so you too can make the most of your Tire Power software. Stay tuned for more tips.
Tire Estimator
One of the many powerful tools inside of Tire Power software’s point-of-sale is the “Tire Estimator” tool. This feature allows you to quickly and easily give a customer who is either on the phone or in front of you a “4 and out the door” price on tires. From here you can create a quote, work order or invoice in one simple step by using one of the buttons at the bottom left of the window. Depending on what type of business you are (retail vs. wholesale for example) there are different ways you will want to setup the “Tire Estimator” to work for you. There are several options to consider when setting this tool up. For example the default price class, tax group and package which will be used.

SIGNS
An essential element of a business’ overall image should be proper and well-executed use of signs. As you well know, signs come in a multitude of sizes, shapes, and forms. They can also be designed to serve multiple purposes, ranging from identification, to promotions.
First Impressions Are Lasting Impressions (Volume I)
The importance of creating a favorable first impression cannot be overstated. As our brains receive data through the five senses, as well as “intuition” and “gut feelings”, an involuntary response is set in motion.
Determining Color Readability and Viability
If you are a developer (like me), have you ever wondered how to determine if the color set you are using on your web page or in your software is a good choice? After all, there are lots of things to consider. Color makes what you present “eye catching”, and can boost the enthusiasm of your target audience. It can attract attention to an important area, or help distinguish regions of information.
