Commission Reps

At Systems 4 Windows we do not operate commission based representatives. Commission reps are quite often under pressure from their Managers. Even though most companies will not admit to using commission based reps the tell tale signs are:

• Giving an inflated price to gain your reaction, slowly reducing the price as a special offer. As the rep is paid by a percentage, the higher the agreed price, the bigger the pay-day.
• Telephone calls to a manager to give a one-off special offer if you agree to go ahead now.
• A special offer given with a deadline for a decision.

At Systems 4 Windows, we give what we consider is a fair and competitive price for a quality job.

Sub Contract Installation Teams

Sub-contract teams at the top end of the market place are generally fully vetted by the company and are normally good craftsmen who are well paid. Naturally, the more work they complete, the more they earn.

Sub-contract teams at the lower end of the market place are simply not paid enough to have enough time to have pride in their work, they often drive rusty old vans and carry no dust sheets and are not capable of treating your home with respect.

The One-Man Band

The one-man band who works from home is one of the cheapest options when buying windows and doors, but generally you will not know which product you are getting until they are installed.

A one-man band will undercut anyone in price, get the go ahead from you, the customer, then travel or fax around all of the local window / sealed unit manufacturers and sundry suppliers for the cheapest method of completing your job - the cheaper the goods, the more profit for him - at your expense.

When it comes to a "service call" the "one-man band" is very difficult to get a hold of. You will spend most of your time speaking to answer machine, or his four year old child who seems to be trained to tell you that "Daddy isn't in". The simple truth is he did not make enough on your job to able to afford to come back.

We at Systems 4 Windows wish you the very best of luck in making the right choice. All we ask is that if you decide to go ahead with another company, contact us before you commit yourself - our help and advice whether taken or not is free of charge.
