Superior Lamp President Ken Hennig “Say ‘I Can’ Everyday.”

The story of Mary Lawrence’s comeback dramtizes the value of having a goal to guide our actions- and the value of rededicating ourselves to that goal on a daily basis. What did she have to come back from? Almost the end of her life.

When her car was hit by a reckless driver, her injuries looked so catastrophic that the medics thought she was dead and simply carried her to the ambulance. Only a chance pulse check before driving off showed that she was alive. And at the hospital, the doctors expected her to either die or to survive without being able to move or even think normally.

But Mary had decided to survive- somehow- and focused all her energy on it. She faced incredible tests: two major operations on her face without anesthetic and 15 root canals. She also had to deal with not being able to recall even names or simple thoughts.

How didi she respond? First, she adopted the simplest and yet most difficult of mottos: “I can.” Then she set high goals. She astonished everyone by launching into studying for a real estate license. She often had to read material over 50 times in order to comprehend and retain it. Yet her focus on her goal helped her not only pass the test but do so on her first try.

She found work as a real estate agent, but nothing came easily. She failed at two firms- and repsonded by setting her goals even higher: the Million Dollar Club her third employer reserved for its most successful agents. Right away she bought a beautiful evening fown- to wear the night she anticipated being named to the club. She looked at the dress every day as she pursued her goal. By now you won’t be surprised to hear that she won entry to the club and wore her dress righ on schedule.

“Courage” is a motif in Mary’s story, and so is “I can.” But just as important is another simple phrase: “Every day.” That’s how often the courageous say, “I can.”

Superior Lamp Sales Tips- "The Last Straw"

THE LAST STRAW

Situations that arise sometimes invoke idioms or old sayings that bring that idiom into clear focus. “The Last Straw” is an old Mid-Eastern phrase that was derived from overloading a camel with that one ‘last straw’ that broke the beast’s back.

Each of us carries the burdens of everyday life with us on a regular basis; the house payment, the car, the back to school, Johnny’s braces, and oh yeah… my sons’ texting bills. Whew! Will it ever stop? The answer is probably not. So how do we juggle all these concerns and still focus on the task at hand, selling?

Well the good news is that you are not alone. All of us that enter our chosen profession encounter the same burdens as the camel. While continuing to balance our heavy loads, the desert that we, as sales people, have to cross each day is a different than other professions’. To be effective in our daily production, we have to project a persona that exhibits confidence and a positive attitude. To get to the next ‘oasis’ or sale we have to have the ability to reach down inside and motivate ourselves to remain positive.

I want to share a couple of secrets with you that have helped me walk the hot sands and remain positive. I have an old, stained and dog eared 3 x 5 card in my car, affixed to my sun visor that simply reads, “Fake it till you make it”. One of my morning rituals includes looking up at that card and reading it. Sounds simple, right? If I concentrate on all my troubles, the accounts that I call on will see that frustration and dismiss me. Believe me, they are carrying their own burdens and are not interested in experiencing mine. So I simply force or ‘fake’ a smile and low and behold the smile is contagious. I am not capable of brain surgery, but a 3 x 5 card is a tool I can handle.

The next tool I utilize has helped many sales professionals out when they were feeling the heat of the desert starting to get to them. This excellent tool is motivational books. Now if you are like most people, the thought of sitting down and completely reading a book, cover to cover, is as foreign as putting catsup on ice cream. Well the good news here is that opening just one of the many covers, and reading just a couple of pages, will help. I find that getting started down this road is best in small bites. The reason that these authors sell thousands of books each year is that they help the readers to clear their minds and receive positive clues on how to get up mentally and approach situations with a positive attitude. To discover one of these fantastic tools, just Google “motivational writers” and you’re off. Many of these books are available at your local library. (That’s the building down by the post office…just kidding.) Want different results? Try something different. These two tools have helped many camels dance across the hot sands.

Good selling

Superior Lamp is ecstatic to learn of the green initiatives taking place for the games because it will further expand global awareness of an issue they've been working to support since their inception in 1977. "We are doing what we can to be green and we're working to do what's best for the environment here in the U.S. by making sure that the products we market nationally are environmentally friendly and energy saving. But what we're doing is only one piece of the much larger global puzzle." says a spokesperson for Superior Lamp. With all of the environmental issues at hand, it is imperative that we all recognize the importance of going green.

Superior Lamp is the leading distributor of heavy duty, industrial, environmentally friendly and energy saving lighting products in the U.S. Superior carries a full line of fluorescents, incandescents, metal halides, spiral lamps, L.E.D.s and ballasts. They can solve any lighting problem that a business may have. Superior distributes lamps that can save up to 83% in energy, lamps that replicate natural sunlight and are 69% brighter than average, lamps that last 24 times life, lamps that are green on disposal, and that come with the best guarantees. Superior Lamp's customers are not the only ones that benefit from the green products, their sales people are also highly satisfied because they are selling green products.

Many businesses in the U.S. today are trying to go green, and if they haven't already they eventually will. It is only a matter of time before going green is not only something that we want to do because we should do it, but it is something that we have to do. Superior Lamp is ready to assist these businesses in making the transition and help them to do their part. Superior Lamp is hoping that with the 2010 Winter Olympics going green, the 'greened' games will inspire not only U.S. businesses to do their part for the environment, but also businesses around the world.

Scientific Solutions for Seasonal Affective Disorder | Superior Lamp Inc.

Winter means a lot of diverse things to many individuals. Since the first light of civilization, people who live in extreme climates and other areas of the planet, with a distinct winter period, have viewed wintry weather as a time of hibernation and extraction. In today’s fast-paced civilization, it can be harder to tell just how winter affects us. With out-of-season produce still on the shelves, and offices and workplaces running the same year-round schedule, we sometimes take the passing of the seasons for granted.

Nonetheless, our bodies still vary according to the seasons. One of the natural still effects of the winter season is often called Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD. SAD represents a basic way that nature stills affects our human environment. Hence, every year, many people look to solutions for fending off this natural seasonal condition.

SAD: Symptoms

Experts approximate that SAD affects as many as 25% of Americans. Organizations like the American Psychiatric Association and the National Institute of Mental Health recognize this condition, and doctors across the country treat it. Some symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder include craving changes, changes to sleep schedules, oversleeping, and general depressive feelings or negative emotions. Essentially, an element called melatonin interprets the body’s surroundings and translates different kinds of light into bodily responses. In the winter, when a person may be exposed to only poor not natural illumination, this means the melatonin levels can result in a kind of low-functioning ‘twilight state’, where the subject feels drained, exhausted, or listless all of the time.

Another consequence is when light enters the brain, where signals go out to various glands in responding to specific colors and shades of light. When natural or natural looking light is not available, the body responds. This could be called deprivation of the full spectrum of light, where taking away the brilliance of brighter light can have an effect all its own.

So, victims of Seasonal Affective Disorder have two choices. They can seek normal light in the open, or rely on full-spectrum lights that include some of the same possessions as natural light. For those who need to stay in an enclosed environment, full spectrum lights provide an alternative.

Complete lighting shops offer full spectrum lights to help customers defeat Seasonal Affective Disorder through the long winter, with energy efficient bulbs that produce natural light for the caves and hiding places we use as cover from the cold. Look for full spectrum illumination goods to mitigate the effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder in a office. These environmentally responsive, heavy-duty light solutions will restore color.

So, if you are down in the dumps when the autumn light starts to fade, take a look at boosting your energy and brightening your days with high-engineered lighting for SAD solutions and start enjoying winter again!

Superior Lamp Inc. Testimonial

Here is what one of our newer sales reps had to say about her experience with us:

4-12-09



I began with Superior Lamp Inc.in mid September 2008. The interview process was quite interesting. Both Kimberly and Angelina were very helpful in answering all of my questions. I discovered the opportunity online and the opportunity appealed to me immediately. I followed the process of filling out the applications and faxing them back to the corporate office. I also checked out the corporate website which proved to be very informative and impressive. Within a short amount of time I had a return phone call from Kimberly. She was very friendly and professional and explained the process of the interview and also explained the complete training program. She told me there would be some pre-training, in-field training, in-house managers and home office training.



I was also sent a detailed description of the type of market that Superior Lamp is seeking for new sales people. It is a huge growing market. There is also a repeat factor and no limited territory. Everything that was shown to me initially, has completely met all standards with flying colors. Everyone receives top notch training with the best in the field. They also supply you with all of the tools needed to begin your career and to continue on a successful path. You have accessibility to in-house managers and product knowledge staff on a daily basis and they are all only a phone call way. During normal business work hours there is always a helpful Superior associate ready to help you in any way for any question.



The company pays straight commission and they also offer some excellent bonus benefits that are very much attainable. The nice thing about the commission program is that you can determine your own future. You can determine how hard you want to work and also how many hours you want to commit and even what days of the week. Your success is directly tied to your work ethic.



Everything that is shown and explained from day one by Kimberly and Angelina is absolutely everything that was given to me in training materials and also hands-on in the field training has been exactly what was promised step by step. I am very happy and impressed as to how Kimberly and Angelina explained everything to me in great detail. Thay answered all of my questions and concerns.



As I approach my eighth month with the company, I am very pleased with my success thus far. Most recently I visited the corporate office in Mount Laurel New Jersey. This was a huge eye opener for me. It really frosted the cake and everything came together for me as I realized I picked a wonderful opportunity. I was given the chance to meet everyone that I had been conversing with over these past few months. I was also allowed to meet Kimberly & Angelina, the two women who handled the interview process. I also attended a product knowledge class by the top man in the company that handles everything to do with all of our Superior products that we offer to our customers. It was very educational. The owners of the company invited me into their office to get acquainted and discuss my goals. This company is rock solid and hands on from the bottom clear up to the top. Everyone I met is professional, friendly and eager to help you become more successful. If you are searching for a wonderful opportunity to control your own destiny and can follow a proven training system that works. Don't try to do your own thing, just follow the program that they have worked very hard over the years to make it successful for everyone. Everything will come full circle and you will see the results with great income. I invite everyone to take a genuine serious look at Superior Lamp Inc. My only regret is I did not get involved with this company twenty years sooner. There is surely a "bright" future with this company.

Superior Lamp Provides Helpful Ways to Introduce Eco-Friendly Lighting Solutions to Any Business

It is no surprise that the environment is rapidly shifting and our planet earth continues to go through changes we can’t always explain. Not doing anything to help the problem will not benefit anyone or anything, but individually we can all play our part to slow down the damage. Many experts say that these changes are natural but some say that a great deal of it was introduced to us by humans through many years of contamination and negligence. Many are unaware of what they can do to help prevent further damage so below are some tips and reasons for switching over to eco-friendly lighting. Businesses large and small can get involved in helping the atmosphere by applying some of the easy to follow tips that will cut energy use dramatically.

• An eco-friendly lighting solution often times is extremely efficient requiring much less power to in fact function. Energy efficient lighting can last up to 24 times longer than some incandescent light bulbs.
• Even though initially energy efficient lighting can sometimes be a bit more of an investment, you can really see the savings in your monthly power bill. Energy efficient bulbs can often times use 1/3 the power that out-dated/inefficient bulbs need to maintain utmost power.
• Energy efficient bulbs reduce air and water pollution by releasing far less CO2 into the atmosphere over the life of a bulb. This would aid greatly against global warming now that our planet is focused on switching to energy efficient lighting.
• Energy efficient lighting also offers a much more pleasing and warm light. Energy efficient lighting almost never generates any of the flickering or humming that often times occurs with outdated light bulbs.
• Energy efficient bulbs come in many different shapes and sizes so the ability to apply them in your business is very easy, leaving business owners without any excuses.
Energy efficient lighting comes with many different rewards. If a business is looking to cut expenses long term, these are extra steps which can be taken at the workplace. These efforts coupled with energy efficient lighting can help in significantly reducing monthly energy overheads.
• Applying occupancy sensors in rooms that are not occupied will allow for lights to robotically shut off for a specific extent of time the room is unoccupied.
• Taking advantage of daylight where appropriate using windows for much desirable light can further reduce the amount of energy needed to successful continue working.
• Applying dimmer switches to rooms that do not require 100% lighting will help control the amount of energy used and allow for energy reduction.
• Using task lighting in cubicles and offices which attach underneath work areas and stations to provide lighting in very specific areas.
• For any business which uses gas lamps outdoors, by turning off such lighting when the store or business is not open will save a great deal of natural gas, enough to heat a small home.
