Do you need garage door repair? Are you looking for a garage
door contractor? Do you know what needs to be repaired in your garage door?
Let’s face it. Most of the time, we aren’t sure and contractors know that. This
is when upselling usually takes place.
Nowadays, upselling is a common thing. While it can be very
annoying to customers, it’s not always bad. Contractors make it a point to
recommend you better materials and products to use because they want to provide
the best service to you. After all, it’s their name on the line here. It pays
to hear them out, but do be wary of too much upselling and product pushing.
So, how can you tell whether the upsell effort is rather more
reasonable than not when dealing with a garage door contractor? How will you
know if you are dealing with a good repairman?
Here are some guidelines that will help customers identify the contractor’s reliability
and competency. These can also be helpful for a
contractor to avoid negative feedback from their customers.
1. Upfront Price List
He should have a price list of all the parts needed for garage
door repair in order to tell the customer how much the repair will cost.
2. Present Company Catalogs
If a garage door contractor or the company has product
brochures, the service technician must always bring it with them. Putting an
effort to make the customers see and understand the product shows the
contractor’s knowledge and experience in handling repairs.
3. In Stock Awareness
He should be always be aware of what items are in stock
before trying to sell something to the customer. It would be disappointing for
a customer to buy something which turns out to be unavailable.
4. Common Tools and Supplies
A reliable repairman always brings tools and common parts
with him so that he’ll be able to do the garage door repair right then and
there. There’s no time wasted.
5. Analyze, Explain and Suggest, but Never Force
These are probably the most important things a credible repairman
will do. First, he must analyze the problem first before proposing what needs
to be done. Next, a good garage door contractor will make an effort to explain
to the customer what the problem is and what needs to be done. Further, he can also
suggest better repair options so that future problems may be prevented. But
always keep in mind that a credible contractor should never force you to spend
more than you want.
The reality is that any garage door repairman will try to
sell you more than what you really need. The only way to protect yourself from
this is to know the difference between unethical upselling or upselling out of
a need for better service. Keep these tips in mind and you’ll be better at
judging the honesty and credibility of a garage door repair service provider.
