sales techniques

[big money]

I bid a small commercial job monday at a sherwin williams paint store and was called back less than an hour later with the approval. They had several shops, including the self proclaimed elite shops in town bid, and they were not sold on using them.

They told me the main reason I was chosen was based on my presentation. The fact that I actually showed up with samples impressed them. Apparently, six other shops were called, two only showed up, and they bid the job, and didn't even show samples. The other shops didn't even bother to return the call.

While I was there yesterday, one of the other shops called to follow up, and they politely told them that the job was already given to another shop. The tint shop guy got pissed and started cussing at the manager, mad at the fact they did not get the job

I guarantee they wont get another after that, and the loss of work after these guys bad mouth them in this small town. They called me back today to schedule their cars to do next week

If it hasn't been already, this may be a good tip of the week. Answer your phone, be professional, take samples with you, and be nice to a possible customer.

Only the four panes beside the door were done, at this time. Film was hanita's optitune22

Yeah I underbid those guys too by about half of what they wanted and we figured they're at ten dollars a square.

And again we don't even know what they were bidding on cause they didn't show any samples, they could've been bidding fader tint...

I would bid ten a square too for a job of that size too Good going getting the job, the windows look great

Thanks everyone, I just thought it was funny that someone wants to bid a job without showing samples.

They must have only one type of film they install

Thats like dropping your car off at the paint shop and saying, just paint it red

[Roach]

They are probably the same people who sell one film and then install a cheaper product without the customer knowing.

that's crazy cursing out a customer

[Guest rcjello]
