Nobody wants to call a Window Guy:

Why Steve the Window Guy is different.

Original Post Date: May 22, 2014

know what you’re thinking.

“Hmmm.. .I need new windows. But I will do anything possible to avoid having a window guy come into my home to give a quote. Those guys give me the creeps.”

You’re right, actually.“ Window guys”, in fact contractors in general, don’t have the reputation for being stand up guys. They don’t typically exude cleanliness, professionalism or service. Everyone you know has had a bad experience with one. It is a rough reputation that the good guys work to overcome every single day.

You can have a good experience with a window guy.

Selling windows (siding, doors and roofing) is a wild life. It takes me away from my family most evenings and many weekends. My time is important to me. I love my family. I wouldn’t choose to be away from them only to waste your time.

When you invite me into your home, my goal is simple. I want you to be as excited about my company and products as I am. I will share stories with you about my company and why it means so much to me. I do this because I know you need to feel comfortable with my company before anything else happens.

Next, I’ll show you our products and why I have dedicated my life to stand behind them. I didn’t make the decision lightly and I don’t expect you to either.

Did you know that most guys won’t even bring a sample into your home?

After that comes the fun part. We discuss your project. What is your dream scenario? Is it all the windows or just a few? Do you have a patio door that is worthless? Have you been secretly hoping you could afford the front door? Are you wishing the siding could be next? How is that roof holding up? Are we talking need or want? Are we driven by curb appeal, energy savings or are we strictly working with a budget? Do you like to do all cash or is financing appealing to you? What colors are we talking about? What options? As you can see there is a lot of information that needs to be covered, and that is why I like both homeowners, or both decision-makers to be available at the appointment.

Did you know that lots of sales people don’t even ask what you’re thinking about?

With the information you have given me, I will price out your project. And I will ask for your business. After all, this is how I make my living. I’m not going to spend the evening talking to you without asking for your business. But guess what? I’m also not going to bully you into doing business with me. We’re going to be friends by the time we leave. You’re going to want me doing the work.

You’ve heard the horror stories of the 4 hour sales pitch.

My job is to help you make your decision. Not to convince you to accept mine.
