Financing is key to closing more sales and helping your customers get their home projects done comfortably. This is even more important as the pent-up demand starts to flow from homeowners who were hesitant to start projects during the peak of COVID-19.
In this workshop, we talk with Michael Strmac, Co-Founder and Owner of Universal Windows Direct, on how his team approaches financing with their customers and how they have used this tool to close 52% of their sales!
The Importance of Offering Financing
Payment options translate into growth for your business by providing your customers an opportunity to complete their dream projects. Discover what thousands of contractors already know — offering an unbeatable choice of unsecured home improvement payment options increases sales and helps grow your business.
How to Discuss Financing During An Appointment
Conversations about financing should be as much part of the process as deciding on the type of shingles or windows they would like. How do you convince homeowners to live their dream of getting the best possible outcome from their home improvement or home upgrade project? You will need to gauge the flexibility of the homeowner and their propensity to spend. In this workshop, we talk about techniques and tools you can use to close more sales by bringing up the money conversation at the right time.
