Ken Roberts never forgot the words of motivational speaker Earl Nightingale: “Keep It Simple Salesmen.” In fact, the advice made such an impression on Ken that he and wife Kathy decided to use it when they named their business. Kiss Carpet Design Center not only carries Nightingale’s words in its name, but the philosophy has carried through in the way the Roberts’ do business.
