			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems that all to often salespeople fail to ask for the sale. Believe it or not, most homeowners want to be sold. Now with that being said, it doesn&#8217;t mean that they want to be talked down to, or forced into something they don&#8217;t want. You see, that is the salesperson&#8217;s job: to sell the homeowner on why they should buy their product. Every time a homeowner invites you into their home, they are inviting you to sell them! Your salespeople&#8217;s job is to sell them!</p>
<p>To do this, you must go through the F.A.B. principle. Simply put your salespeople need to explain the Features of your products, then show them the Advantages, and finally sell them on the Benefits (FAB). Once you have properly &#8220;sold&#8221; the prospect on your products, company, and services, the only thing left to do is ask for their commitment! That&#8217;s right, ask for the sale. You can do this in several ways, but one of the easiest is by showing them the price and then simply asking: &#8220;Sound good?&#8221; or &#8220;Ready to get started?&#8221; This is where the negotiations start. From there you simply keep asking in a nice way and overcome any objection or reservations they may have. If you continue to narrow down the reasons they can&#8217;t buy and build up the reasons why they can, you will eventually end up with a lot of business. It takes practice, but any determined salesperson can learn it.</br><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to replacement windows, the improvements seemed to come all to fast during the early 2000&#8242;s. However now most of the advancements have slowed down. For clients living in the southwest region, dual pane with Low-E3 and Argon Gas should be standard features these days. However, for clients living in the northeast region, triple pane is not a bad option. Also, Krypton Gas may be well worth the extra money to handle those extra cold climates.</p>
<p>All and all, a high grade, energy efficient window is certainly worth what the homeowner pays for it. Though most homeowners don&#8217;t know various options and rarely know that the few extra bucks it costs to upgrade to Low-E and gas is well worth the investment. That&#8217;s where you the contractor comes in. You must educate the homeowner that saving a few bucks in the initial cost may cost them a lot more down the road in the extra energy costs.</br><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kitchen remodeling trends change from time to time, but some trends never go out of style. The kitchen layout happens to be one of those things. Kitchen remodeling contractors know that using the triangle method for the fridge, sink, and stove is always a good idea. There is also another idea about putting a little glass in the kitchen that always seems to make a big impression. Albeit glass inserts are really not that expensive, they sure make a lasting impression when it comes to a &#8220;custom kitchen&#8221; designer look.</p>
<p>So next time you remodel a kitchen suggest a little touch of glass. Whether it be in one corner cabinet or several cabinets, it will certainly stand out to both the homeowner and their friends and family.</br><br />
