CEO Daily Update – 6.19.2020

June 19, 2020 by Craig Haynie

TTGLIF, Floor and Wall Dispensers in Stock, MILLION DOLLAR SALE

Thank the Good Lord it’s Friday!

Thank you Lord for another week of your mercy and kindness, your provision, your guidance, your grace, and your continuing forgiveness through Christ to those who trust him as Lord and Savior. Thank you for making forgiveness and reconciliation with you just a surrendered attitude of the heart away. Lord help us in this country (and around the world) to learn to love one another with your heart – to love our neighbors as ourselves. Help us to become less so that you may become more. May goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life, that I may dwell in the house of the LORD forever. I pray that all those that read these words be encouraged, that they have an interest to know you, or that they know you and desire to grow in their surrender and relationship with you.

Have a good weekend! 
I hope you have plans of rest, seeing friends and family, and perhaps some summertime activities this weekend. I’ve been at the office every night this week filming assembly and product videos (we have to film at night so it’s quiet). I am R.E.A.D.Y. to work from home Friday and ease into the weekend. Taking last weekend off was so nice I am going to see how much I can reproduce it!

Speaking of videos – I want to give a huge shout out to Chad Gentry, my warehouse operations manager. He runs around all day making sure you get your orders on time and then stays till midnight or later some nights to be my cameraman! I find it so cool how no matter what a person’s “day job” is we all have skills and passions that are sometimes very different from what we do all day. And he’s definitely talented with video and having an eye for what would look and sound good. Not that any of us are professionals but I can tell you that the things we put our are much better because of him!

We just finished filming at 1am this morning. Needless to say, I am like a tired muffler – Exhausted. We worked on Hand Sanitizer Dispensers – both wall and floor stand models. I hope we will have them edited and live before too long! I will let you know when they are.

Floor and Wall Model Sanitizer dispensers are now in stock!

Wall Mount – Gel/Liquid – “Dispenses” liquid or gel sanitizer. IN STOCK
Wall Mount – Spray – “Sprays” liquid sanitizer. IN STOCK

Temperature Kiosk, Webcams Back in Stock, MILLION DOLLAR SALE & Today’s COVID News


Happy Thursday!

So …. I have a question for you …..

So, what do you think about the idea of a temperature kiosk? You walk up to it, it reads your temperature (and records your face, temp, and the time) and alerts you as to whether you are in normal or abnormal range. It has multiple other capabilities like tying in with access control systems to open doors (if you have a normal temp) and can be set up to recognize staff members, guests, etc.

I have a sample that I have been playing with for the last week or so. I am nearly ready to start offering them but would love your feedback. They will be roughly $2500 each and I am thinking about offering setup and maintenance programs as well as a lease/rental option. All options are on the table – I am just focused on the tech right now. It is so cool!! Let me hear from you about it. What do you want and need? I want to put some solutions together!


Webcams are back in stock! 
https://www.cablesandkits.com/computing/webcams/wc1080p-01/pro-18838/


And last but not least …. A reminder to prepare yourself for the epic Mid-year BLOW OUT sale. MILLION Dollar Sale!

We are about to do something we have never done before. Listen up! Starting next Monday we are putting about six THOUSAND items (over $1 Million worth of items) on sale in a way like you have NEVER SEEN before. I am going to tell you now what to expect and I think it might just blow your mind! We have many items (over half our catalog) that have gotten stale. It is time to get these bad boys moving – either out the door or in the DUMPSTER. Here is what we are going to do (I can’t believe we are going to do this) ….

We are going to take the current prices and divide them my 10. 
Then, EACH DAY we will reduce the price by 1/10th. 
So day one all the items will be 10% off. 
Day two 20% off. 
Day three 30% off … 
all the way to day 10 where whatever is left will be 1 penny. 
Whatever doesn’t sell will get recycled!!

On this day in 1885, Gallon Pumps Back in Stock, Elusive Advertising


Happy Tuesday!

Did you know that on this day in 1885, the dismantled Statue of Liberty, a gift of friendship from the people of France to the people of America, arrives in New York Harbor after being shipped across the Atlantic Ocean in 350 individual pieces packed in more than 200 cases. The copper and iron statue, which was reassembled and dedicated the following year in a ceremony presided over by U.S. President Grover Cleveland, became known around the world as an enduring symbol of freedom and democracy. Read more here on History.com
 
Advertising is a funny thing. As I have mentioned before, we have realized through this PPE / Safety Supplies journey just how little we really “advertised” for our core business of networking products. As the safety supplies demand heated up we could advertise anywhere and it worked. Radio, buying into email lists of other companies, and of course leveraging our own email lists. And then all of a sudden much of it stopped working as quickly as it started. And with advertising no one tells you why it stops working. You have to try to figure it out. Is it pricing, stock levels, or what? It makes me realize that marketing is a whole new skill that can be very powerful but can also be very frustrating. There are no magic/silver bullets.

Starting this week we are trying telemarketing. I hope people receive our calls well! I hate getting sales calls, but every once in a while they have something I actually want and need and I hope that is the case with the calls we make. We can’t just sit around and hope people find us.


Bottle Dispenser Pumps for Gallon, Half Gallon, and 1 Liter Hand Sanitizer back in stock!

I will have some other product announcements soon. We nearly have our floor hand sanitizer dispensers in stock which is exciting. They are in huge demand right now!


Please let me know how I can be of service to you. If you need assistance with something, advice, or even if you just need someone to pray for you, I am here and listening.

Blessings,
Craig – CEO

Commissioner Rob Manfred told ESPN “I’m not confident” there would be a 2020 season on Monday.

CEO Daily Update – 6.9.2020

Prayers for baby Jojo, the coupon rages on, a Cisco vulnerability


Happy Tuesday.

I received a reply to yesterday’s email from a customer with a request for prayer for her great niece, Jojo (Josphine). Jojo was born early at 24 weeks at only 1lb. Her and mom are not in a great condition right now and need the grace and mercy of the Lord. Would you pray for them with me? Pray that the Lord would heal them – and that the entire family be comforted by the presence of the Lord in all circumstances. We never know the will of the Father, but trust that He loves us deeply, is sad with us in our trials, and has mercy on us in our humility. Father, bring your healing to the bodies of this family, and your grace and mercy into the hearts of all involved. Amen.
 
Our oldest, who turns seven in just a few days, was born a month early and very small (not that small). We know first-hand how HARD it is to have a baby (in this case it was our first) in trouble, stuck in the NICU, and not be able to do anything but wait and pray. Our hearts are with this family!
 
Cisco announces a security flaw in NX-OS
https://www.zdnet.com/google-amp/article/cisco-warns-these-nexus-switches-have-been-hit-by-a-serious-security-flaw/

A poll of sorts:
I am curious – now that some time has passed, what is “normal” like to you now? Have you gone physically back to work? (Did you ever leave?), have you changed any habits perhaps for the better (I know people that now order groceries online that didn’t before). Have you changed jobs, moved, or made any other life changes? Has the Lord taught you anything during this time? I would love to hear from you!

Pricing Feedback, the Sabbath, Todo Lists & a CEO Coupon


Howdy!

Welcome to a whole new week!

I hope you had a great weekend. I sure did. We saw lots of friends, spent time relaxing and watching some TV, hanging out by the pool with friends, and I was even able to go to a friend’s house from 4pm till Midnight on Sat and hang out, go to dinner, and watch a movie in his theater room. That may not sound like a big deal but as hard as I have been going lately it absolutely was. And I needed it! I feel more rested than I have felt in quite a while. Hopefully I am ready for what will come this week!

There’s a vendor I have been working closely with over the past few weeks that lives/works in New York and is Jewish. He is such a hustler during the week but on Friday night he disappears until Sat night. He pointed out that it’s the Sabbath which is why, and I told him I was a Christian and loved the Jewish faith; it’s the origin of Christianity after all. Jesus was a Jew. The difference between a practicing Jew and a Christian is the belief that Jesus was who he said He was – the son of God who came to bring a new covenant. But that’s another email for another day.

CEO Daily Update – 6.5.2020

June 5, 2020 by Craig Haynie

3M N95 Masks, Disinfectant Wipes, Nitrile Gloves & Webcams

Thank the Good LORD it’s Friday!  

Father in heaven, I thank you for this week. One of fruitful work, of meals with family, of television and small indulgences. Thank you for the chocolate that I have eaten too much of. Thank you for putting such small but enjoyable things on this earth (the cocoa bean), and for giving humans the ability to figure out how to make something of it. Lord I thank you for the weekend when many of us get to slow down and rest a little. Bless those that don’t get to rest, and help them find rest in You. 

Please bless our country. Comfort those mourning and give courage to us all to fight for what is right, to seek to learn and to seek to understand. Give us a gentle nature toward one another, and to honor you in doing so. 

In Jesus’ name I pray and ask these things. Amen. 

A little Fellershipping
We have some friends coming up today to stay the night and we are all excited (they also have two small kids). We don’t get to see them as much as we used to so it is a treat when we get to spend time together. One good thing about visitors is it forces me to stop working – at least for a while. I am looking forward to that as well! 

Stock Status
Hey take a look at the video of me on the safety supplies page! (What’s in stock blue button) People ask all the time about stock quantities so we did a video to talk about it. You’ll see a WHOLE lot of face masks!  https://www.cablesandkits.com/c/safety-supplies
