Double-glazing quote

Securing a reasonable double glazing quote is often easier said than done. Much of the blame can be pinned on the conceptual gulf that lies between what most people think is involved and what actually is involved. Anyone hoping for a quote could reasonably expect a double glazing representative to turn up at their home, take the necessary measurements, make useful suggestions, tap some numbers into a calculator and come up with a figure that can easily be compared with other suppliers’ quotes.

Unfortunately in the world of double glazing things don’t work that way. Firstly a salesperson will arrive and give you a long and tedious lecture on the history of your chosen company, followed by a glowing spiel about the unique wonder of their product range. They will then measure your windows and have a look around whilst trying to assess how much the initial quote will be. Finally you’ll be given a figure that will be way above what the company actually expects you to pay.

Then the negotiation starts. Your first move should be to ridicule the initial sum. Don’t be shy and remember that you are dealing with professional salespeople. The figure will plummet; sometimes by as much as half. If you continue with your haggling there could well be some theatrical calls to the manager where the salesperson expresses surprise at your refusal to see what an amazing offer lies before you. This could go on for some time with the growing implication that you’re an idiot to turn down this amazing once-in-a-lifetime chance.

This is where the evening can start to take on a truly nightmarish tinge as they crank up the sales pitch in one last desperate attempt to make a sale and boost their commission. They’ll probably make a final offer and claim it’s only valid for a day. There are even accounts of marathon negotiation sessions lasting entire afternoons, only to end up with the threat of violence and customers literally having to push salespeople out of the door.

It’s unlikely that a reputable local company will put you through the same ordeal and you can sidestep many of the problems outlined above by asking the salesperson if they are working on commission from the outset. Once you’ve got a quote the chances are that you’ll be exhausted, but that’s not the time to give up. Ring around a few other companies and get at least three quotes before you make any firm decisions.
