Window shopping
Article Abstract:
Anyone considering purchasing double-glazing should ensure that they become familiar with the techniques which salespeople are likely to use. Some companies, for example, will not arrange an appointment unless both partners will be present, as they feel that this gives them a greater chance of making a sale. Others will offer incentives to sign up quickly, while others will make a very lengthy sales pitch. It is vital to obtain quotations from at least three companies, to negotiate on the price and to ensure that the contract terms and conditions have been read and understood before signing.
