// CLIPS FROM Clyvanor Ltée
“there's so many horror stories, one just really leaps out at me”
“oh no, we're the only plant in North America”
“I was sitting on a log having my lunch one day”
“I'll be honest it's a lot harder”
“a lot of people were just canceling last minute, there was no loyalty”
“three things that are short in life, you're born, you're gonna die, you're going to pay income tax”
“I tell my mom, who just turned 72, she's always questioning me, how's business”
“the thing about this industry is that nobody presents their bids the same way”
// LESSONS FROM Clyvanor Ltée
Sales mastery is relationship mastery: ask about the customer's biggest pain first, then fit your solution to it — not the reverse.
The musician's 'flow state' and the salesperson's pitch zone are the same psychology — getting into both requires genuine interest in the other person, not a script.
In B2B construction supply, making 'friends' with customers is functionally unavoidable and commercially useful — orthodoxy against it doesn't survive contact with reality.
A career pivot toward your natural strengths beats forcing a mismatch path: self-awareness in the field (literally, on a log) is the trigger for a better trajectory.
After COVID demand normalised, construction suppliers had to relearn competitive selling — follow-up, qualification, and persistence were muscles that had atrophied for 30 months.
Construction demand is tightly linked to interest rates and economic confidence — when rates are high, people hold, and you must double down on sales effort to compensate.
