re: What industry “secret” do you know that most people don’t?

When I was in industrial sales the rep for one of our spray lubricant brands came by. They had a good/better/best spray lube and he told us the difference between the good and the better. Had something to do with the actual makeup of the lube. He said the “best” lube was just the “better” lube in different packaging with a higher price, because some people will buy the highest priced version of anything because they think it’s better.

The paint rep used to tell us the only difference between a “paint” and a “coating” was $5 a gallon.
