They have all sorts of interesting window sales strategies, tricks and scams. <!--more-->Some folks can be worse than others, but we\u2019ll explain some of the most manipulative window sales tactics in use out there so you can know how to avoid them. The fact that a company uses any of these tactics doesn\u2019t necessarily reflect on the quality of the product they offer, but it most certainly does tell you how they treat their customers.A few of the more common tactics we\u2019ll cover:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The neighborhood discount;\u00a0<\/span> <\/strong><\/strong>So perhaps you recently had a knock on the door from a friendly local kid. \u00a0He was all excited to tell you about a neighborhood discount that a local remodeling company was offering. \u00a0They were working nearby and they were offering a discount to any of the neighbors who wanted to have a similar project completed while\u00a0they were here. They could see you had older windows so they wanted to offer their services. \u00a0 Once they finish that project and leave the area the great pricing will be gone.<strong>BEWARE: This is NEVER a good deal. \u00a0<\/strong> Remember the first rule of avoiding a contractor\u2019s tricks: you NEVER need to sign up immediately. \u00a0Of course they\u2019re trying to use your fear of missing a \u201cgreat deal\u201d to entice you to sign up without giving the project the proper consideration. Think about it this way. \u00a0The workers need to get up every day and leave their houses to come to work. \u00a0They\u2019ll drive to your house or your neighbors house or a house across town. \u00a0It doesn\u2019t make any difference to them. \u00a0Work is work and windows are windows. \u00a0If they work in the same neighborhood every day they still need to drive there each day (unless you\u2019re letting them sleep over).<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The 1-year price, the 30 day price and the TODAY price<\/span>;\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong>If you\u2019ve received a free quote from some of the larger window companies around you may have seen today only window prices like this. \u00a0They probably had\u00a0some very high price say $13,000 that was good for a year. \u00a0This might be called the retail price or the MSRP. \u00a0It was probably also offered at the end of a pretty long sales pitch.\n<div>\u00a0You probably didn\u2019t expect to spend anywhere near that much so you told the salesperson that you were going to think it over and he let you know about a rebate or special promotion that was ending soon. \u00a0It was good for 30 more days and it would lower the price to $8,000.<\/div>\n<p>That sounded better, but he wasn\u2019t done yet. \u00a0After you told him you were going to think it over he called the manager. \u00a0The manager gave him a special price because he really wanted to earn your business tonight. \u00a0Maybe he needed one more sale to reach his goal. \u00a0He certainly had a decent way to explain it. \u00a0That special TODAY only price could easily have been as low as $3,000. Remember, we started at $13,000 which was the 1-year price. \u00a0Then we were at $8,000 for the 30-day price. \u00a0That\u2019s a pretty big discount already. \u00a0Then out of nowhere we\u2019re at $3,000 if you buy TODAY. \u00a0This sounds too good to be true, I mean you\u2019re getting $13,000 worth of windows for the incredible price of $3,000 right?!? <strong>NO, these today only window prices are never a good deal.<\/strong> Ask yourself one simple question and you\u2019ll start to see through all of this. \u00a0If the company can sell these windows for $3,000 why would they have tried to charge you or anyone else $13,000. \u00a0We know a company needs to make a profit and we\u2019re proud that our company makes a healthy\u00a0profit each year, but selling a $3,000 project for $13,000 seems a little cold hearted to me. At the end of the day every remodeling company wants to have more customers. \u00a0Every remodeling company also only undertakes projects that they make money on. \u00a0If they\u2019re making money on your order at $3,000 today then they\u2019ll still take that deal tomorrow or next week. \u00a0Anytime you hear about today only window prices you can be 100% sure it\u2019s a bad deal.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><strong style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">The husband and wife MUST both be present<span style=\"color: #000000;\">;\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/strong><\/span>Ever heard a window company say they require that both the husband and wife be present for their quote? Maybe they said they needed all the decision makers or everyone who is on the paperwork for the house. Have you wondered why this would be? The answer is plain as day, but it might not seem so obvious if you don\u2019t have much experience with home improvements. To make it short,\u00a0they want you both to be there so they can<strong> try to talk you into buying on the spot<\/strong>\u00a0without taking any time to <em><strong>think it over<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0Remember these companies have been in business for years, they\u2019ve met with thousands of folks who were considering a replacement window project just like you are. They know if they meet with the husband alone he\u2019s likely to say \u201cI\u2019ll talk it over with my wife\u201d. \u00a0And the wife will likely say the same thing about the husband. \u00a0Or one partner about the other, you get the idea. \u00a0Once that happens there isn\u2019t much the company can do to close the deal. They\u2019ll likely still try, but they know their odds are significantly reduced.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>The appointment saver discount;\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>You signed up for a free in-home quote for a remodeling project and as things are wrapping up the salesperson hits you with a \u201cspecial\u201d discount if you would just sign on the dotted line right now.\n<div>\u00a0You remember very clearly that they told you the prices would be guaranteed for a year, but all of the sudden the high price is good for a year and the lower price is going to expire when she walks out the door. \u00a0What\u2019s the deal with that?<\/div>\n<div><strong>\u00a0If you remember noting else, remember that this type of pricing scheme is a sure sign that you\u2019re getting a bad deal.<\/strong><\/div>\n<p>Think about it this way: this salesperson\u00a0does this for a living and she\u00a0knows much more about the pricing than you do. \u00a0If she\u00a0was sure that what she\u00a0was offering was such a great deal then she would be confident that you could think it over and you would certainly call her\u00a0back to get this great deal. \u00a0Why would she come up with a strategy to get you to sign up without considering your options? \u00a0Because she knows it\u2019s not a good deal. The appointment saver discount is nothing more than a justification for manipulative pricing. \u00a0She will tell you that if you buy now while she\u2019s already there it will save her\u00a0the trip back to sign paperwork later. \u00a0She\u2019ll tell you all of her\u00a0customers call her\u00a0back because she\u2019s got the best deal in town and she ends up visiting everyone twice. She might tell you that her\u00a0accountant told her\u00a0that if she could only visit each customer one time it would allow her\u00a0to meet with twice as many people which would double the size of her\u00a0business. \u00a0It would be worth offering a substantial discount to double the size of her\u00a0business right? \u00a0Wrong. Remember when you\u2019re hearing all of this that they explain these stories for a living. \u00a0She does this every day so she\u2019s probably pretty good at it. \u00a0She\u2019ll have an answer for everything and she\u2019ll sound reasonable. \u00a0That\u2019s her\u00a0job. If you tell her\u00a0you\u2019ll fax the paperwork after you think it over she\u2019ll say she needs the originals. If you tell her\u00a0you\u2019ll mail the originals in a week or two when you\u2019re ready she\u2019ll say the rebate ends today. If you tell her\u00a0you\u2019ll drop the forms off at her\u00a0office she\u2019ll tell you they need your order today to meet their quota. \u00a0Next week will be too late. \u00a0Of course she may not have an office, but that\u2019s a story for another day. As you\u2019re hearing all of this remember that nothing in the window business changes on a daily basis. <strong>\u00a0The ONLY reason they create pricing schemes like this is to separate you from your money.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>The model home program;\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/span>The model home windows program is one of our favorite window sales scams. If you\u2019ve ever seen the movie\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0094155\/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tin Men with Danny DeVito and Richard Dryfus<\/a>\u00a0you know this one. \u00a0The fact that this trick is still frequently used has always surprised me. \u00a0As is the case with all of these window maneuvers they wouldn\u2019t still exist if people didn\u2019t buy them so watch out!\n<div>\u00a0The basics of this maneuver come back to the idea that if a company wants to sell you something at a price above the market price they need a way to entice you to to make an irrational decision. \u00a0The irrational decision in this case is to pay more for something than you need to.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0Now remember, paying more than you need to doesn\u2019t refer to a comparison with the absolute cheapest company in town. \u00a0When you buy a remodeling project you\u2019re buying the quality of the products, the quality of the service the strength of the warranty, etc. \u00a0All of these things have value and they\u2019re all worth something. \u00a0When we say these companies are trying to entice you to pay more than you need to\u00a0we mean after factoring all of these components into it, they\u2019re still charging more than their competitors.<\/div>\n<p>How can I be sure these companies are trying to charge you more than their competitors would? Remember we started this post talking about the model home\u00a0discount. \u00a0This is when a company offers to sell you their products and services for an incredibly low price so they can use your house as an example of the great work they do. \u00a0They\u2019re expecting all of your neighbors to see how great your house looks and they\u2019re expecting to sell your neighbors windows too. This sounds like a real win-win situation. \u00a0You get great new windows. \u00a0You know they\u2019re going to do a great job because they want to show off their work at your home. \u00a0They\u2019re only offering this deal to one house in the neighborhood so you\u2019d better sign up now to take advantage right? \u00a0<strong>NO. \u00a0This is never a good\u00a0deal.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Buy 2 get 1 free windows<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Window trade-in program;\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Half off labor or FREE labor; \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>All warranties are basically the same; \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>It\u2019s easy for folks to hear salesperson after salesperson say their windows have a \u201clifetime\u201d warranty. \u00a0You can\u00a0get used to hearing it and you might\u00a0start to think that they\u2019re all the same.\n<div>\u00a0<strong>On the other hand, companies that offer more limited warranties will try to explain why a shorter warranty is better<\/strong>. \u00a0They\u2019ll say that a lifetime warranty is actually only good for a few years (which is not true and they probably know it). \u00a0Why would they do this? \u00a0Because nobody would buy their products if they couldn\u2019t explain why the warranty was so short. \u00a0Renewal by Andersen is a great example of this one.<\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1004\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thewindowdog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/renewal-by-andersen-limited-warranty.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Renewal by Andersen Limited Warranty\" data-src=\"http:\/\/thewindowdog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/renewal-by-andersen-limited-warranty.gif\" width=\"967\" height=\"213\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 967px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 967\/213;\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Here you can see the very short warranty offered by Renewal by Andersen. Why would they offer a warranty this short?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>This is a 2 year warranty on installation, 10 years on the oh so fancy Fibrex frames. \u00a0That is a REALLY short warranty. We also hear from customers that they don\u2019t want to depend on a warranty so they want to pick a quality product that they think will hold up. \u00a0Of course picking a quality product is a great strategy, but in discounting the warranty they\u2019re ignoring a crucial\u00a0data point indicating the quality and anticipated lifespan of the product. <strong>Here\u2019s the deal. \u00a0Brochures and flyers are written by salespeople. \u00a0Warranties are written by lawyers and engineers. \u00a0There\u2019s a big difference.<\/strong> The warranty on any window or door product is a direct indication of how long the manufacturer actually expects the product to hold up. \u00a0If they offer\u00a0a long and comprehensive warranty they\u2019re telling you they are confident that the windows will last. \u00a0If they offer\u00a0a shorter or more limited warranty they are directly saying that they think the product may fail after that point. Think about it this way: \u00a0a shorter warranty will absolutely result in fewer sales. \u00a0The manufacturer knows that some percentage of their potential customers will thoroughly read the warranty and if it isn\u2019t as good as their competitor the customer will buy elsewhere. \u00a0Why then would one company offer a warranty that is more limited than their competitor? \u00a0Remember, they know doing this will result in lower sales. \u00a0They do it because they have to. \u00a0They do it because they know that some percentage of their products will fail after those limitations run out and they don\u2019t want to be on the hook for the repairs. So what are the differences between different window warranties? You\u2019ve probably seen that most decent replacement windows offer some type of \u201clifetime\u201d warranty. \u00a0That\u2019s absolutely true, but as with most things, the difference is in the details. \u00a0When it comes to warranties the differences can be huge.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Here are 5\u00a0common differences<\/strong><\/span>:<\/li>\n<li><strong>Labor coverage<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 You\u2019ll see a lot of \u201clifetime\u201d warranties, but when you actually read them the labor is only covered for a limited period. There are also 2 types of labor to consider. \u00a0There is the labor of the installer who did the initial work, and then there\u2019s the labor of the service technician who comes out to replace a defective part. \u00a0Are they both covered? \u00a0Is one limited to 1 year or even completely excluded? \u00a0They may be. \u00a0If the service labor is limited who is going to repair a broken window or replace a damaged balance? \u00a0How much will it cost? Remember the Renewal by Andersen example above. \u00a02 years of warranty on installation. \u00a0Many companies cover these items for as long as you own the home. \u00a0That\u2019s a BIG difference. <strong>Glass breakage coverage\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Do you know how much it can cost to replace an insulated glass unit? \u00a0Remember, these aren\u2019t the old single pane windows you might have had growing up. \u00a0A new sealed glass unit can easily run $100 \u2013 $200 for a typical replacement window and the labor can double the total cost. \u00a0We recently got a quote to repair a broken window from a local competitor to make sure we knew what the competition was charging. \u00a0It was over $400 for one piece of glass in a typical double pane window. \u00a0That\u2019s real money. Here is a clip from the Simonton Prism window warranty. \u00a0You can see the insulated glass warranty is prorated overtime, but the glass breakage warranty is solid for 25 years.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1005\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thewindowdog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/simonton-prism-glass-breakage-warranty.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Simonton Prism Window Warranty\" data-src=\"http:\/\/thewindowdog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/simonton-prism-glass-breakage-warranty.gif\" width=\"376\" height=\"202\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 376px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 376\/202;\" \/><\/a><figcaption>This is the warranty for the Simonton Prism line. Their other lines have different warranties so be sure you know what you\u2019re getting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Some companies offer a glass breakage warranty<\/strong> to everyone they do business with. \u00a0Some offer it at an additional cost and others don\u2019t offer it at all. \u00a0When you\u2019re considering a window project it\u2019s important to know what you\u2019re getting. When you hear that baseball go through the window you\u2019ll be glad you know what you picked!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hardware &amp; moving parts<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 As you get a few quotes and look at window samples you\u2019ll quickly see that there are hundreds of choices and they all use slightly different bits and pieces. \u00a0That\u2019s not a problem, except when you need a new lock 10 years down the road. \u00a0How will you get one that matches the rest of the windows in your home? Some companies cover the hardware, balances and all moving parts for as long as you own the home and some limit that coverage to just a few years. \u00a0This is an important distinction.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Screen coverage<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0We frequently see warranties that exclude screens. \u00a0Screens aren\u2019t expensive, but the frames tend to be proprietary so you may have trouble getting a replacement down the road. Screens are really easy to fix or replace so any company interested in taking care of their customers after the sale will have no problem covering screens. \u00a0A company that excludes screens is telling you that they don\u2019t want to hear from you once your check clears. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<strong>You\u2019ll get the idea pretty quickly<\/strong>. \u00a0Whenever we talk to folks about these window sales tactics they will inevitably say \u201coh, I\u2019d never go for something like that\u201d, but these companies do millions of dollars in business with these exact tactics every single year. \u00a0Someone\u2019s buying it.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_104\"><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Why would a company employ tactics like this?<\/strong> \u00a0Because they know they\u2019re not offering a great deal. \u00a0You can be sure that every real company out there has a pretty good idea of what their competitors are offering and how their pricing compares. \u00a0If you did this for a living you\u2019d have all of that info at your fingertips too. If you were selling a product at a price that you knew was not competitive you would need to do everything in your power to get the customer to buy without shopping around. \u00a0You would know for certain that if they did shop around they\u2019d discover a better deal and you\u2019d lose the business. You couldn\u2019t tell them that you want them to buy on the spot because you\u2019re offering a bad deal so you\u2019d need to come up with a better story. \u00a0Whether it\u2019s a manufacturers rebate, an appointment saver discount, a model home program or something else the real reasoning is all the same. \u00a0It\u2019s to entice the customer to buy without understanding their options. Successful companies are pretty good at this so you need to tread carefully. \u00a0The important factor to remember is that nothing in this business changes on a daily basis. \u00a0A deal they would offer today is a deal they would accept tomorrow no matter what they tell you. \u00a0If you remember nothing else, remember that it\u2019s always smart to take your time and consider your options. \u00a0You\u2019ll be shocked at how much you will save. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Aladdin Insulation and Home Improvements<\/strong><\/span> find out why we are different call us today 678-528-7115 or visit us at <a title=\"Aladdin Insulation and Home Improvements\" href=\"http:\/\/www.aladdinhomepros.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">aladdinhomepros.com<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve spent a little time shopping for replacement windows you\u2019ve probably already discovered that there are some characters out there.
