Dos Marcos Show

Can a mattress kill COVID?

Dos Marcos chatted with team members from Serta Simmons Bedding about their new HeiQ Viroblock™ technology. On the show you'll hear from Sheri McGuire, Vice President of Advanced Technology, and Gregg Schweir who is Head of Innovation with SSB. 

SSB partnered  with Switzerland-based HeiQ Group to create the antiviral mattress. HeiQ Viroblock technology has previously been approved by the European Medical Device Directive for antiviral use in medical personal protective equipment such as N95 equivalent mask.

The big question now: if these mattresses end up on retail floors, what will salespeople be able to say? Can they make claims? Listen to find out more about a possible trend that could emerge in the mattress world.

Doorcounts

Join us in welcoming our new sponsor, 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 upboard from their phone 3)  actions can be automatically scheduled and/or fulfilled 4) you never miss another sales opportunity.

We're really excited to partner with Doorcounts. Check out Doorcounts.com today and tell them Dos Marcos sent you!
