Just “Set it…and Forget It”
Do you remember the old infomercial that used to be on TV by Ron Popeil, the creator of the Showtime Rotisserie? In that commercial he showed how easy it was to make gourmet rotisserie chicken, ribs, and all sorts of other good food.
By the end of the commercial your mouth was watering and you were either on the phone buying…or headed out to the local supermarket for some chicken.
At the heart of the commercial was Ron saying to the audience in a call and response…You Just Set It…and Forget It.
We’re manufacturers here at YSI, so we don’t do the informercial thing. We’re pretty practical.
However if we did do a commercial, we would have to use the same saying…”Set It…and Forget It.”
That’s because the FloorPro® floor flatness measurement device is so easy to use.
In fact, when we take the FloorPro® to trade shows and do a live demonstration, the first thing that anyone says is, “I can’t believe it’s that easy!”
Our unit is ready to use out of the box in less than 3 minutes.
Once you’ve entered info about the job, you’re actually just telling it to “Go” and then doing something else. The machine does all the work.
A lot of times people will take the machine out, set it up on site, and then let it run. They talk on the phone, interact with their customer, handle other business, and the FloorPro® just does all the work. Then they take their readings and go home.
People ask, “Is that it? There’s got to be more.”
But there isn’t.
Contrast that with the Dipstick®.
With the Dipstick®, you’re tied to the machine. If you’re easily distracted, or have to use the bathroom, or take a phone call during a reading – you’re out of luck. If you stop in the middle of a run…well, you’re starting over.
With the FloorPro®, if you have to stop it for some reason – you just hit the stop button.
Then when it’s time to start again, you pull the machine back 6 inches and start again.
The 6 inch dimensions are even inscribed on the machine itself, no ruler needed…it’s that easy!
It really is a “Set it and forget it” machine.
