Triton Paints Get Lead-Free Certification

Are you into building? DIY? Or just fixing things? Chances are, you're probably going to use paint in one or more of these projects and in the Philippines. The direction is to make sure that lead would not be used in manufacturing paint. Recently, a Philippine company just earned their certification for being Lead Safe Paint particularly the ones under Roosevelt Chemical Incorporated.

The dangers of lead in paint has been already studied, proven and should be eliminated. Human health is prime, which is why we should act now. Even with laws passed, the Philippines is just one of a couple of countries that still sell them, but it should be stopped.

Hon. Gilbert Gonzales says "This is my second time attending this kind of forum with paint manufacturers. I'd like to congratulate Triton Philippines for achieving this. This has a great effect for human health, lead safe paints and the quality of it must coincide with environmental safety. They are aware of the ill effects of lead paints, the civil society organizations and our partners are slowly moving towards safe products. In everything we do, we hope we gain more businesses that look at the environment friendly products and why it should be the norm in the country."

Richard Cruz from DILG says "Paints are now lead free, it will help not just the folks who live in homes but the community they belong to."

Charity Agbayani from OPDS-DILG says "Traditionally, it contains harmful chemicals and with the improvements,  toxins that are in paint should not be a problem anymore. Our homes and workplace should be lead free, so generations to come would not experience the harmful effects of it anymore."

Aileen Lucero of ECO Waste Coalition "Triton paints have passed standards and now proves how they are the right kind of paints. This is one concrete way of protecting our children from the harmful effects of lead in paints. The DENR, DILG, and you are all moving in establishing standards that would phase out lead containing paints in the coming years. The advisory which called government units to not purchase paint that contain lead is a step forward and we congratulate them all for doing what is right."

Solon Sy the VP for Sales and Marketing of Roosevelt Chemical Corporation says "We have always felt this is a step forward to the lead safe certification. This is our commitment to our partners, customers, for a sustainable future. This has been the result of expansive research, and we know that families will benefit from it. We are stewards of environment and health, and these lead safe paints will be at safe spaces. Thank you for your trust and making Triton Paints the right kind of paint "

Reginald Yu the President of Philippine Paints and Coatings Association says "We celebrate the remarkable achievement. In behalf of our organization, our heartfelt congratulations for being certified lead free. I've had the pleasure of witnessing their hard work first hand. They have been a pillar of excellence in the community and have earned our trust and respect. This highlights their commitment to excellence. They are now a benchmark for paint manufacturing. As industry leaders, family friends, their support have always been commendable. Our member companies want to push for industry goals, for the benefit of generations to come. We are assured there will be more, congratulations once again to the Sy Family, may your success inspire others."

Teodoro Cayetano the Municipal Engineer from Roxas Palawan adds "The efforts of the Triton Family and Roosevelt Chemicals did not just comply, but have provided a reiteration to executive orders and ordinances to become lead free in our town. It was just recently approved, ad we will be a partner to follow provisions of the law. I'll make sure to follow requirements and support Triton in using them in our projects, as we find their efforts phenomenal for our country and Roxas."

Turning Your Leads Into Sales

The figures says it all. Every time an opportunity arises, you have to take it and make sure that as a sales professional, you use the information to your advantage. At this day and age there are tons of ways to get a lead, but what do you have to do to make it a sale? I’ve seen countless sellers take the information and only get one or two convinced. Some of them even bogus, some of them prosper, but turning these into real sales is another thing. Here’s a few things you could take note of if you want to make it work, see if this takes your sales journey to another level!

Use Your Time Wisely

Yes, time is of the essence. If you get leads in your hand, chances are, so does a couple other hundred agents did too. A recent study shows that if you get to use the information you get in the first five minutes, you would be more successful converting it into a sale rather than let’s say, a person who would use it 30 minutes later. Now that is a fact... and it is a 100 times better. You could have sworn you knew about this when you started your career right? I may be wrong.

Be An Authority

Subject matter experts or the real deal person with experience, you’ve got to be both. Use your knowledge as power and get the information your clients need so they too make a sound decision. You have to know it’s not about fooling people, you have to give them the exact things they have to know about your product, whether real estate or other things, it would convince them further if you give even more of what they need. So make sure you read up on things, experience it and have the edge over other sales people who would attempt to use those leads so they feel your authenticity, your eagerness to help to make that YES to your deal without any hesitation.

Follow Up, Follow Up Promptly

You wouldn’t want people to forget about you especially if they need time to collect themselves and crack that perfect judgement. The concern and interest you give should be a factor but in this day and time, you’ve got to act quick because that’s what it is all about. Go back and send them information they need, add interest on amenities, bonuses, discounts and location. Go above and beyond what they would expect and help them find a home if they need to, not just a house. Doing it in a timely manner and responding to urgency shows you care, that is immeasurable.

Do Not Hard Sell

A sales pitch is a sales pitch but it is better when you wouldn’t think it is. It shouldn’t be the type which would be overbearing to your clients, or pressure them into making a decision that they would regret later on. I know people who wouldn’t stand pressure and quit just because it is too much to think about. They would rather live and breathe normally than hear a nagging seller on the other side of the line. You have to ignite their imagination and make them see how exciting it is to own their own home, fit in their family in the picture and see how magical it would be to get it fresh, hot, easy and fast! That you would move mountains for them but never over promise and not deliver on what you tell them. You have to be the person they trust, like a close friend, not an infomercial. A reminder would suffice but stay pleasant and not a Marcos of modern times.

Use Good Technology

If you want to be ahead of the pack, you have to use tools to your advantage. You also have to make sure you stay organized and stay updated by reading where you left off your conversations so you won’t look like a broken record. Take Lamudi’s Lead Management Tool for example, because it manages your listings, makes your follow ups easy so you can track all your transactions in one place. Your client’s dream home should include their desired size, location and budget to work with. Obviously if you can see all these factors in one go, you’re not going to waste your time and theirs. That invokes sincerity, which would in turn make them transact with you easier and do it faster so you both could save the trouble, no nonsense at all!

This at least would get you started. Make it beneficial for you and your client, you’ll also earn a friend.

Make Sure They Are Safe

With the news behind Chris Brown and a supposed woman getting hurt you stop and think that if this happened to rich and famous people like them then it wouldn't be impossible to also happen to anyone.

I now fear for the women in my family. What if they end up with the same fate as she did? What if their supposed blissful relationship suddenly turns into a nightmare one day? It shows how appalling things could get if a crazed boyfriend would suddenly turn ballistic for a loved one. Everybody in the industry think so highly of him. With this particular incident still under investigation, it's not surprising that some sources say that it could be RIHANNA that's suffering. They both were not able to attend the Grammy Awards Night. If she was not protected and couldn't afford private health care or insurance like the rest of Hollywood's celebrities, then she could have gotten a different fate. If she was a normal person like anyone in your family and she got hurt I'm sure you all would be worried. Make sure everybody is covered and identified with insurance leads so they can be offered the same health care as some of the world's greatest people. They only deserve the best and you know you love them.
