An Introduction To Engine Lathe

Apr 28, 2018 by dbfnetwork 0 Comments

An engine lathe is a flat shaped piece of workholding, which is most frequently used to turn metal manually. By turning the metal and by using particular cutting devices, the engine lathe is competent of forming the metal into exact shapes. As its name goes, the engine lathe is over and over again used to make metal pieces for use in an engine, whether it could be for an automobile, a tractor, a boat, or as well for any other motorized vehicle or machine.

Even though people may use the engine lathe initially for spinning sheet metals, it is as well used for drilling, making square blocks, and for shaping shafts. Candle cup dies, copy burner nozzles, foundry pattern core boxes, and other prints are products an engine lathe could produce. Most modern tools were shaped with the assistance of an engine lathe. In addition, those who own an engine lathe could create their own devices with the machine. For these reasons, the engine lathe is regularly referred as a workholding machine.

Further features of an engine lathe consist of gears, a carriage, a tailstock, and a stepped pulley that are generally used for different kinds of spindle speeds. The workings in the engine lathe are used to control the carriage. Simultaneously, the carriage bolsters of the cutting tools. The tailstock is commonly used to hold up the hole-drilling process, which takes place in the spindle.

Engine lathes were in style in the 19th and 20th centuries at blacksmith shops and are yet far and wide used today. There have, on the other hand, been a few amendments to the engine lathe over the following years. In the unique engine lathe, the carriage might catch all the dust and dirt. When this mixed with the oil in the engine, it would shape up a grinding motion as the carriage moved back and forth while turning and for shaping the metal. The steady grinding finally wore the machine down and made it useless.

Today, the cart on an engine lathe is self-oiling further on and the rear. The carriage on the engine lathe has as well been improved, and is built to defend the machine from the remnants of the jobs it performs.

Telemarketing Services: The Purpose Of Telemarketing Opening Dialogue

Mar 28, 2018 by dbfnetwork 0 Comments

I picked up the ringing phone the other day. ?Hello?? I said. Then I sat in shock as I heard on the other end, ?Hello, my name is Jim and I?m calling from XYZ Co.

We are a full service communication provider and we?re offering clients a very special promotion on our satellite television services. If you sign up with us today you can receive our full service for just $25.00 a month for the first three months. What?s more you won?t be charged a sign up fee.

Now before you say ?no? I?d like to take a moment to remind you about all the great features of our service?? He went on and on and on and didn?t give me the opportunity to say a single word. Finally, he took a breath and I was able to decline the offer.

Jim of XYZ Company (the names are changed to protect the guilty!) shares a misconception among many telemarketing services professionals about the purpose of the opening dialogue.

This article is going to talk about what that opening dialogue is for. Note that it doesn?t matter if you are working for individual sales leads or business sales leads, this truth remains the same.

Telemarketing services opening dialogue?
Many people assume the opening dialogue should be like a Gatling gun: firing off all your bullets at once in the hopes that one or two will hit the target. It?s ineffective and, like Jim?s opening dialogue, almost comical! It gives the impression that the telemarketing ?professional? doesn?t care about the sales leads? time.

Why is it like this? It?s because many people feel that they have a bunch of things they need to say and they?re expecting their sales leads to say ?no?.

So, you?re asking me, if that?s not the case, what is the purpose?

Telemarketing requires patience and should be aimed at opening a dialog, not just making a quick sale. The aim is to generate interest; to whet the appetite; create interest; and to develop a little intrigue. Ultimately, the purpose of your opening dialogue is NOT to try and sell the product. The purpose of the opening dialogue is to get the customer to say three simple words:
?Tell me more?.

So when you are faced with outbound telemarketing – a list of business sales leads numbers to dial, and you?re just getting ready by crafting the opening dialogue, what do you put at the beginning? The answer is simple: just enough to have them say to you, ?Tell me more.?

Here are some examples that Jim could have used on me:
??Did you know that you?re not getting all the channels you could be getting??
??Did you know that you?re paying too much for television??
??Did you know that the average home pays $3 per channel per month. I can show you how to pay half of that.?

Inbound and outbound telemarketing services could be one of the most profitable ways to increase your sales leads.

Whether you?re dealing with housewives or mechanics, students or CEOs, personal sales leads or business sales leads, you only want to accomplish one task with your opening dialogue: get them to say three little words to you? ?Tell me more.?

Tresna Large Scale Digital Calipers

Feb 28, 2018 by dbfnetwork 0 Comments

After I used several very nice Large Scale Digital Calipers that help me to take not accurate measurements in the workshop, I vowed for my next Large Scale Digital Calipers to put high precision before brand. The benefit of these Tresna a Large Scale Digital Caliper is not only their low relatively-low cost, but also their versatility. They can be used to take the inside measurement when I’m trying to measure the internal width of a groove, give me the length of the metal stick when I?m making a machine– day or night — and give me pleased measuring result when I go to the machine shop to work on projects. The screen runs almost perfectly, with nearly 100 percent accurate. They are made of stainless steel, which means they?re shatter-proof even when struck or dropped to the ground. In the ten months I’ve been using it, I’ve dropped it lightly a couple times and they’re still pretty much accurate. Over the winter, I worked in a machine shop lathing, sawing, drilling, tapping metal and wood twice a week for 3-4 hours and a couple weekends straight through until the summer is coming.
Unlike the cheap, standard shop Large Scale Digital Calipers which I’d constantly use and put away and occasionally forget to use back, these are so accurate I rarely put them into the case. It’s important to note they do have a fine-adjustment carriage and the jaws have round measuring faces for accurate inside measurement. On the one hand, that’s why these are much more accurate, but then again, that makes these potentially unsuitable for tasks where outside measurement is recommended. For my usage, though, which is primarily taking inside measurement tasks, they’re great. Definitely one of the most functional things I own, and considering they’re extremely useful, they look pretty good.

Getting Into A Vending Machine Business

Jan 28, 2018 by dbfnetwork 0 Comments

Are you thinking of entering into the vending machine business either as a service operator or as someone who will do the buying and selling of vending machines? Whichever path you choose, it is likely that you are getting yourself involved into vending machine distributorship.

Being a vending machine distributor, you directly buy the machines from the manufacturers in wholesale price and resell them to the end users at retail price. The machine vending distributors or suppliers are also responsible for providing the buyer, some important information about the features and benefits of each machine.

The companies that sell these machines usually sell them to vending service companies as well as other businesses and organizations wanting to operate the machine themselves. These companies will also have the sole authority to offer parts for the vending equipment as well as some form of warranties.

As a distributor, you will rely solely on the sales of these vending machines so it would also be a very wise strategy to add repair service and sales of various parts as part of services offered. Although vending machine distributorship is a rewarding business, there are also slow times throughout the year so adding service calls and sales of parts can make up a good portion of the revenue.

The company selling the machine should also be able to give you some information about the business itself. They also should be able to give you advice on the appropriate vending machine for your location.

Being the buyer, it is your responsibility to do some research before diving into the business. Buying the right machine for your location is very important since vending machines are not cheap at all. One unit of vending

machine will cause you thousands of dollars and it will take you several years to pay for it. It is actually estimated that it will take 12 to 18 months before you could earn back your investment.

Some believe that it would be better to buy a used machine especially if you are just new to the business. This will give you a feel of the location and evaluate the business condition. It will also give you less pressure in paying off the equipment at a higher price.

There are lots of vending machine manufacturers as well as different makes and models of vending machine equipments. The most important step during the process is to find a vending machine distributor that offers vending machines at fair prices. It is also recommended that you find a distributor that can provide you service and parts later during a machine break down. Make sure that you ask about the warranty and its duration.

It is always crucial if your business stop running because of a machine break-down. Parts should be made available anytime. It would be wise to have some spare parts handy like an extra coin changer.

It is always better to find a company close to the area where you live so that delivery may be provided. There are lots of vending machine distributor online, just be aware about the shipping terms and cost. Do your own research before buying. It is very important that you find out everything you can about what you are thinking of buying. That is the only way you can avoid problems in the future.

Stimulating Sales

Dec 28, 2017 by dbfnetwork 0 Comments

What is it that gives business life and vitality? Yes, sales. Without sales, our businesses will dry up and die. On the other hand, a healthy growth in sales means an increase in profits. Yeah, we business owners spend a lot of time watching for signs of growth, and plotting to make it happen. Here are 5 sure-fire ways to get customers to shell out the bucks before they leave your place of business.

1. Tantalize Their Emotions
When was the last time you bought a candy bar? Exactly what is it about chocolate that makes us waste perfectly good money on something that lasts less than five minutes? Yep, it’s the feeling of satisfaction we feel after we’ve eaten the sweet morsels.

Everything consumers purchase is for one purpose… to satisfy some emotional feeling they are looking for. Don’t believe it? Why do we buy cars? …security, to show off, personal satisfaction? Sure, we all want to look good and know that we’ll be able to get where we’re going safely.

Take advantage of the emotional pull purchases have on your customers, and dramatize. Paint word pictures that will enhance to pleasant feelings that come with the purchase you are trying to get them to make.

2. Scare The Heck Out of Them
What are your customers going to lose if they don’t buy your product? No, we don’t always have to stick with the pretty pictures that leave us all warm and fuzzy. Fear is as effective of a motivor as pleasure… sometimes greater.

Do you have fire alarms installed in your house? A dramatic mental picture of waking up in the night and not being able to rescue you child isn’t at all pretty, but will be much more likely to motivate you to invest in a fire alarm system than any pretty picture ever would.

Don’t hesitate to use a little negative influence if your product calls for it. Many people fear what they could lose more than they get excited about what they could gain.

3. Keep Buying A Simple “Yes” or “No” Choice
Are you planning a special sale? Take care to promote only one of each type of product at a time. Decisions can make the buying process more complicated and cost you sales. Yeah, the buyer who can’t make up his mind often leaves without taking anything with him… that’s money out of your pocket!

Do you have several related items you want to offer? Combine them into one package and watch your profit skyrocket!

4. Make It Easy To Buy
Several years ago, I found myself spending my lunch hour in a long line at the nearby fast food restaurant. After patiently waiting for more than 30 minutes, I placed my order only to discover they didn’t accept debit cards. Now, there’s no feeling of frustration quite like spending the best part of your lunch time waiting in line with a yammering stomach, only to be denied.

Your customers want to be able to pay in whatever way they choose when they walk to the cash register. If you want to attract the most customers, be sure they can pay using their favorite method.
