Selling Fasteners 101: What Sets Us Apart

| BlackHawk Team

Fasteners are everywhere. They hold industries together—literally. But when it comes to selling them, how do you stand out in a market where the product itself isn’t unique?

Let’s be honest: Your product does not separate you from your competitor.

Read that again.

Take two identical nuts—same size, weight, material, and function—but made by two different manufacturers. Now imagine competing against a larger competitor while selling the exact same item. Sounds like a tough battle, right?

That’s where BlackHawk Industrial makes the difference.
