MIA Industry Research & Information Manager, Mike Loflin, added, "'This toolkit is the most requested of the six in the series. Its ninety forms cover nearly all aspects of today's natural stone business."
The Customer & Sales Forms toolkit offers a collection of 90 forms and other documents covering eight major areas: Pre-Sale Documents, Contracts / Terms of Business / Proposals, Pre-Installation & Installation Documents, Post Installation Correspondence, Problem Resolution, Restoration and Maintenance, Slab Forms & Agreements, and Flooring Installation Documents.
