Dos Marcos Show

Our guest today is Gui Peres. Born in Brazil, Gui came to the United States at age sixteen as a foreign exchange student. He loved the USA and eventually made his way here full-time, landed a job at a startup called Ergomotion, and now he's their Global Sales Director. And he happens to live a few miles from Oprah and Prince Harry. 

In this week's episode, Peres tells us how Ergomotion is using research and insights to create the bed of the future and help their dealers make more money. 

If you're in the mattress business, you may remember the early days of adjustable bases when consumers associated them with hospital beds. When Ergomotion began training their retailers on how to market and sell motion bases the narrative shifted away from the "old hospital bed" toward adjustables being a lifestyle product.  

Now, the Ergomotion team is working on technology that tracks and monitors each person's biometric make-up to help them sleep better and live better. 

If you're looking for more insights, sign up for Ergomotion's free virtual expo October 22, 2020—their research reveals the latest consumer trends around sleep and how you can use those ideas to offer your customers more (and increase your revenue).

Doorcounts

Foot traffic is expensive. Do you know what's more costly? We call it "Track Lack." If you lack the ability to track who's coming into your store and what happens while they're there (and after they leave), you could have a severe case of "Track Lack."

Doorcounts is a tracker and a connector.

Doorcounts Connects:

1. A smart camera to a CRM database.

2. Every customer to a salesperson.

3. Better insights to your business decisions.

4. More sales to grow your business faster.

Here's how Doorcounts works:  1) a camera sends a photo to the next salesperson’s smartphone. 2) the salesperson then records details in a CRM database and up board from their phone 3)  actions can be automatically scheduled and/or fulfilled 4) you never miss another sales opportunity.
