// 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”
“back in 2006 I was the first manufacturer at our plant that did a LEED certified building”
“a lot of that's a question I get asked a lot, why are you so good in sales”
“I'll be honest it's a lot harder”
“a lot of people were just canceling last minute, there was no loyalty”
“with land becoming a super premium now, the trend is to build upwards”
“three things that are short in life, you're born, you're gonna die, you're going to pay income tax”
// 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.
