The door to door double glazing salesman fortunately for the industry isnt as popular now a days since the introduction of the internet and even more intense competition. The reason being is that the door to door salesman has always had a bad reputation for being a rip off merchant. Im sure in a lot of cases this is true and I also agree that they can be really really pushy. At the end of the day they are the same as everybody else just trying to earn a living. Im sure there are honest and trustworthy Cheap Double Glazing Salesman out there but unfortunately they are over shadowed by the hundreds that are out for blood.

This article details the top three tactics that are adopted by the glazing salesman that would approach you initially on your front door. These tactics can also be adopted over the telephone im sure and are also common in many other industries. Take a look so you know what to look out for when being pitched to. This will enable you to get the best possible deal when purchasing your Cheap Double Glazing.

1. Sweeping
This tactic is quite simple yet very effective and relies on the sales person not closing the deal (i.e making a sale.) The way it works is the customer is approached and before they can close the door on the salesman they are offered a ridiculously high price. Once the salesman has your interested he or she will then proceed to negotiate for an hour or so (if he can) leaving the price way to high. The customer will then say something along the lines of Ill come back to you or ill ask my husband having no intention of doing so and the salesman leaves.

A few days later the customer is then contacted by the sales manager who is enquiring about the door to door salesman his appearance, his manner and general performance. You as the customer believe that he is taking the time to check up on his sales force which in turn gives the company more credit with the customer. In fact this is all part of the plan and the sales manager will then offer you the real price under the description of thank you for giving me your time and as a thank you I can offer you the same deal at the following price.
Bingo you are sold.

2. Discounts, Discounts and More Discounts
In such a competitive industry the price for glazing is at its all time low so there are lots and lots of discounts to be had. Your door to door salesman will have a huge library of reasons to offer you discounts. You can listen to them all and we advise only to take them up on the offer if you are 100% satisfied with the cost. An example on the reasons for discounts may include:
"Our Salesman couldnt make it today so I as the sales manager am doing his rounds. What this means to you is that you wont be paying his commission so I can offer you a great deal"
"If you let us put a sign up outside your house advertising our services we can offer you a great discount” I believe that all companies would put a sign up outside anyway, so dont be fooled by this reason for a discount.

3. First Call Discount
The sales person will offer you a discount that must be acted upon immediately as it is only available for this limited period only especially as he has made the effort to come to you. You would think this is a ridiculous reason but you would be surprised at the number of people who fall for such a tactic. It works by putting pressure on the customer to make an instant decision.
As you are buying in such a competitive market I would recommend sleeping on all decisions safe in the knowledge that if you did decide you wanted the product the discount (even if it is fictitious) would still be there the next day and the day after that and the day after that. I personally would not deal with a company who tries to put pressure on you to make a sale. If their product is that good it should sell itself.

There are hundreds more tactics employed by door to door double glazing sales people but the three that have just been described are probably the most common. Now that you are aware of these techniques you are better placed to deal with them should you be approached allowing you to get the best possible deal on your Cheap Double Glazing.

Cheap Double Glazing And What Can It Do For My Home?

noreply@blogger.com (Mark Farrell) — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 10:40:00 +0000

There are many benefits in converting your home and adding new double glazing units to replace your old units. To help you decide, this
article explores the main benefits in converting from the traditional old single pained windows to double glazing.

Cheap Double Glazing

There are many companies out there selling cheap double glazing but dont be put off by the word cheap. In the old days the word cheap
usually implied low quality. Todays double glazing units are mainly made from PVCu which is a form of plastic which has helped bring the cost
of the product right down without reducing the quality of the product. The introduction of the modern materials have in fact improved the quality a
nd below we will go into more detail as to why.

Double Glazing To Reduce Your Heating Costs

Probably the most well known of all the benefits of double glazing is the fact that by having it installed you can reduce your heating bill.
It has been reported that 25% of modern households heating is being lost through their windows.

Although by having it installed you will reduce the heat lost through your windows by up to 10 or 12% the savings you will make on your heating bills
will not cover the cost of your windows for a considerable ammount of time so bear this in mind when making any decision.

Security

With the many differnt locking mechanisms available and the flexibility of the products having double glazing fitted can help make your home more secure
as its increasingly difficult for anybody to tamper with and break into.

Sound Insulation

Most people will tell each other that they have had double glazing installed to keep the noise out. Although your normal glazing will provide some
form of insulation against noise if this is your primary reason for wanting it installed then secondary double glazing is probably the better option.
This process involves fitting another single glazed unit infront of the existing window providing another barrier for the sound. The bigger the air gap
the more efficient the sound insulation will be.

Visual Representation and Performance

Double glazing aswell as coming in PVCu can also take the form of, hardwood and softwood to give your home that more traditional look whilst
still providing the level of security and energy saving aspects as described above. Compared to older style windows the modern double glazed window looks
a lot more sleek and stylish and with it coming in many different materials and colours you are sure to find the window that best suits your home.

Double glazing units are much easier to clean and also allow people to reduce or eliminate the need for window coverings such as netting making the ideal
choice for low maintenance customers. In todays world speed is a must so having these modern low maintenance windows is a great idea for anybody with an
extremly busy lifestyle.

Resale Vale

Whilst you cannot re sell your new units (unless you really want to) they have proven that they have improved the re sale value of many homes compared with
homes that have more traditional window units installed. In todays stagnant housing market anything taht you can do to improve the value of your home is worth it.

To summerise there are many benefits to installing cheap double glazing in your home which include, lower heating bills, increased security for your home, better sound
insulation and lower maintenance not to mention increasing your homes re sale value. All that remains is for you to find the right supplier. There are
thousands of them out there so be careful to choose the right one. Always ask for refernces and make sure you are happy with the price before going ahead.
