Conservatory Outlet Salesman Set For Expert Training

Saturday, February 4th, 2012

As part of an on-going commitment to support its growing network of dealers, the country’s leading home improvement company Conservatory Outlet is offering free retail sales training to each of its members in 2012.

The renowned conservatory company has commissioned sales guru Paul Clifton to run and deliver a series of comprehensive masterclasses to almost 100 salesmen over a six month period.

Held at three separate locations, Clearview Home Improvements in Warrington, Synseal in Mansfield and Hazlemere Windows in High Wycombe, the sessions aim to help salesman further increase their conversion rates and leave them feeling more skilled and motivated.

Paul Clifton was specifically chosen by the double glazing specialists as he is a renowned retail sales trainer and has worked extensively within the conservatories industry himself to great success. He has even written and published a book on the art of sales techniques.

The training is specifically tailored for retail organisations and will help each of the 19 Conservatory Outlet dealers to capitalise upon what they each achieved in 2011, with many dealers already experiencing a record level of sales and leads over the past 12 months.

Installers who have joined the Conservatory Outlet network in recent years have, on average, experienced a 25% increase in sales in the first year – followed by consistent year upon year growth.

Conservatory Outlet is currently looking recruit installers with the relevant credentials required to become a network member in the North East, Central Midlands and Central Belt of Scotland.

Anyone interested should contact Conservatory Outlet on Freephone 0808 149 9674.

Further Conservatory Dealer Joins The Conservatory Outlet Network

Monday, January 9th, 2012

Conservatory Outlet, the UK’s number one installer of conservatories and double glazing, are a step closer to having a local dealership on the doorstep of every UK home after attracting a further installer to their growing network.

Aberdeen-based conservatory firm The Home Enhancement Company (THEC) become the 19th dealer overall and second located in Scotland, after the addition of Mitchell Glass earlier in the year, to join Conservatory Outlet’s set-up.

With THEC on-board it will enable Conservatory Outlet to gain an even stronger foothold north of the Border as their newest dealer provides high-quality installation throughout both Aberdeen and Dundee. They also have vast knowledge of the Scottish market.

Conservatory Outlet were extremely keen to expand their presence in Scotland as they look to replicate the success they have experienced in the South of England in 2011.

Since southern-based home improvement companies Hazlemere Window Group, Prestige Windows & Conservatories and Eden Windows, Doors & Conservatories joined the network they have each benefitted from an unparalleled amount of leads and sales.

Other network members have also been able to extend their showroom portfolio with Clearview Home Improvements, Conservatory, Window and Door Outlet and West Yorkshire Windows each opening a new showroom this year in Nantwich, Birstall and Doncaster respectively. As a result, the network now comprises a grand total of 30 showrooms nationwide.

However, Conservatory Outlet refuses to rest on their laurels as they are currently looking to recruit a further dealer to cover the central belt of Scotland. Any companies interested should contact the network on 0808 149 9674.

Conservatory Outlet Welcomes Eden Windows On Board

Friday, December 16th, 2011

Eden Windows, Doors & Conservatories of Kent has become the newest member of the Conservatory Outlet network and the seventh installer to join in the last twelve months.

Based in Gillingham, Eden will now supply homeowners in ‘The Garden of England’ with Conservatory Outlet products including conservatories and double glazing; something which will be reflected in the company’s imminent showroom refurbishment. Supported by Conservatory Outlet, Eden have designed what is set to be one of the best conservatory showrooms in Kent and plan to open a second within the next twelve months.

Following the establishment of several dealers in and around London, the South East represented natural progression for Conservatory Outlet as the fabricator strives to achieve full UK coverage via its network of installer-customers.

Similarly Eden was the natural choice within this area because of its experience and success throughout Medway, Canterbury and Tonbridge. Indeed one of Eden’s first orders placed with Conservatory Outlet was for a conservatory with a retail value of £55,000.

As a result of joining the Conservatory Outlet network, Eden will now be the sole recipient of the relevant leads generated by Conservatory Outlet’s main retail-facing website as well as those generated by its own brand new website, also provided by Conservatory Outlet.

The installer will also benefit from provisions of high quality bespoke brochures, a 24/7 electronic quoting and ordering system, and the trade secrets of many other successful installers within the network.

‘I’ve always felt that a Conservatory Outlet dealer would prosper in Kent because of the style of properties and relatively affluent demographic in the area. I’m delighted that this dealer is Eden Windows.’ said Greg Kane, sales director of Conservatory Outlet.

Commenting on the partnership Paul Kelly, managing director of Eden Windows, said; ‘Conservatory Outlet dealers are among the best installers in the country and I wanted Eden Windows to be part of this elite network. What’s more, within days of our new website going live we started to receive leads which have now been converted into sales and finished installations.’

Conservatory Outlet Dealer Supply Free Windows To Local Man

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

West Yorkshire Windows, Conservatory Outlet and Custom Glass collectively came to the rescue of a 91-year-old man who had been without windows in the front of his house for almost two years.

The man’s house in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, had been subject to continued vandalism by youths from the area in recent years. When the single glazed windows at the front of the house were smashed in 2010, the local victim support charity were only able to board the windows up, leaving the living room, main bedroom and bathroom with no natural light.

Following further vandalism at the property earlier this year, PC Chris Schofield of West Yorkshire Police, decided to go beyond the call of duty by appealing to local businesses that could potentially help to repair the victim’s home and improve the quality of his life.

‘It seemed that the young people in the area thought it was ok to vandalise the property because it already looked in such a poor state – I felt that a new set of windows would go a long way towards preventing repeat vandalism, as well as vastly  improving the living conditions for the owner,’ said PC Schofield.

Wakefield-based West Yorkshire Windows was PC Shofield’s first port of call and the conservatories company showed no hesitation in offering its support by agreeing to supply and install double glazing completely free of charge.

As a member of the Conservatory Outlet network of dealers, West Yorkshire Windows enjoys a close relationship with its main supplier and after hearing about these exceptional circumstances, Conservatory Outlet opted to manufacture and supply the frames at no cost. This generosity was matched by West Yorkshire Windows’ glass supplier, Custom Glass, who also donated the double glazed units.

Needless to say West Yorkshire Windows – shortlisted for the G11 Installer of the Year Award – covered the installation of the casement windows and even finished the job with a new pair of curtains in time for when the elderly man returned to his home, after a period in respite care.

Jo-ann Bowles, sales manager at West Yorkshire Windows, said; ‘As a well-known and successful company, we found ourselves in a position to make a really big difference to a local man’s life and to reward the genuinely extraordinary work of PC Schofield – we simply couldn’t say no. A big thank you must also go to Conservatory Outlet and Custom Glass for contributing to this cause.’

A close friend of the elderly man who oversaw the installation praised West Yorkshire Police, PC Schofield and triple glazing specialists West Yorkshire Windows for their efforts.

Cosy Home Living Requires UPVC Windows

Thursday, December 1st, 2011

A uSwitch survey has shown that as many as 23 million households in the UK will go without heating at some point this winter. That works out at around 9 out of 10 households! The main reason for this drastic course of action is because of the ever increasing costs of energy bills.

Many of those hardest hit by pricey heating bills are those who have yet to replace their traditional windows, a chief cause of such financial strife. Therefore it makes sense for anyone forced to pay a high price for energy to invest in some UPVC windows with double glazing included.

This is because any heat generated in the home will be trapped by the glass contained within a UPVC window so that you can use your boiler far less frequently. All the draughts that you would notice in the past because of your old windows will disappear in an instant when you appoint an installer to fix the problem with modern-day replacements.

The overall cost of living has gone up in recent times which is another reason why people are being forced to rely on their heating system less. A new set of windows will solve that problem and allow you to spend your disposable income elsewhere.

Although the windows are the main cause of heat loss in the home, another source of the problem can be the front and back doors of the home. If you suspect that cold air is passing through either of your doors you should exchange them for UPVC doors. As with a UPVC window they will store heat and warm up your home at any time of the year.

The money you save on energy due to the successful performance of new windows and doors will more than justify the initial cost of paying for them.

G Awards Nominations For Conservatory Outlet Dealers

Saturday, November 19th, 2011

West Yorkshire Windows and Clearview Home Improvements – both part of Conservatory Outlet’s network of dealers – have been shortlisted in separate categories at this year’s annual G11 awards.

The G Awards are the most prestigious double glazing and conservatories industry awards and to be shortlisted companies must demonstrate total pride and professionalism in every aspect of their business from sales and marketing to design and installation, right through to after-sales service.

West Yorkshire Windows are one of four shortlisted companies in the Installer of the Year category, and Clearview Home Improvements have been named as a finalist in the Conservatory Installer of the Year category.

The former was a founder member of the Conservatory Outlet network of dealers and the latter has been a Conservatory Outlet dealer ever since its establishment in 2008.

Wakefield-based West Yorkshire Windows also has luxury indoor showrooms in Leeds and Doncaster and has been trading continuously for over 18 years. The company will face stiff competition from three other very successful installers; Sherborne, KJM Windows and Alumet Systems.

Clearview Home Improvements now has four showrooms following the recent opening of a Nantwich branch and was also shortlisted in the G10 awards last year. To be victorious this year the North-West dealer company will have to outshine Charles Christianson, P&P Glass and Sherborne.

The winners will be announced live at the prestigious G11 Awards & Gala Dinner which will be hosted by comedian Sean Lock at the Hilton Park Lane Hotel in London, on 25 November.

High-Quality Double Glazing Is Best Secured At Conservatory Outlet

Friday, October 28th, 2011

Conservatory Outlet have been supplying and installing double glazing to UK homeowners for years. Each dealer prides themselves on providing customers with the highest quality products and services, ensuring that every customer is completely satisfied with their purchases.

Double glazing is an essential home improvement item if you are looking to improve the energy efficiency and aesthetics of your home.

There are many reasons why somebody needs or wants to change their windows and Conservatory Outlet can cater for all requests. If you are thinking about selling your home then newly installed double glazed windows can add extra value to your property and give it curb-appeal, after all first impressions do count!

Alternatively, maybe you have just moved into an older property and the windows are causing draughts and cold spots within the house. Double glazed windows are incredibly energy efficient, saving you money on energy bills compared to single glazed units. They also provide you with greater security as all windows from Conservatory Outlet are fitted with the latest locking systems giving you total peace of mind.

Conservatory Outlet also supplies double glazed windows in a variety of styles and designs. The most popular form of replacement window is the double glazed casement window which is incredibly long lasting and virtually maintenance free. As with all windows from Conservatory Outlet, they are available in a number of coloured finishes from white and classic cream to a more contemporary black or green.

Conservatory Outlet also supply and install conservatories and orangeries throughout the UK. Both provide homeowners with extra space in their homes and are an excellent investment when you consider how much value they can add to your property.

An Orangery Is More Than Worth The Money

Friday, August 19th, 2011

If the time has arrived when you need to extend your home due to a lack of space, you will only usually consider having a conservatory installed. There are several benefits to be had from the installation of a conservatory, but there are other options available if you have the necessary funds in your bank and Conservatory Outlet can offer it to you.

An orangery is similar to a conservatory as far as usage is concerned as both types of extension are primarily designed to help homeowners stretch out the amount of space they have in their property. But, orangeries from an aesthetics point of view look completely different to conservatories as they are chiefly put together through the use of brickwork rather than UPVC.

Because of this, an orangery tends to blur the margin between home and extension more easily as it is less noticeable than a conservatory. Only when you’re inside the structure will you truly be able to appreciate its beauty as it offers a huge amount of spaciousness and has the most inviting of atmospheres each and every day.

As well as brickwork, we fit all orangeries with double glazing so that the extension offers a high level of energy efficiency. The windows will work to ensure that any heat created inside or outside stays trapped within the extension so that you always feel warm and comfy inside when you need it most.

The cost of orangery may seem daunting at first, but when you consider just how much value it can add to your home, you will soon come to realise that it is an investment worth making. Conservatory Outlet has years of experience when it comes to supplying and fitting extensions so you really couldn’t wish for a better installation company.

Defeat The High Cost Of Energy With Double Glazing

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011

Ideally our homes should be warm and cosy in the winter and cool and fresh in the summer but this isn’t always the case.  A lot of the energy we use to heat our homes is lost through poorly insulated walls and windows which is not only harming the environment but it is costing UK homeowners a small fortune.

Double glazed windows are one of the most energy efficient options on the market and to enable customers to fully understand the product that they are buying, all windows are now graded with an energy efficient rating. Recent developments in window technology now mean that some windows will actually help to heat your home by harvesting free energy from the sun. The average life expectancy of a double glazed window is around 25 years, so you could stand to save a lot of money.

Not only does it help to reduce your energy bills, but double glazing is also a lot more secure compared to traditional single glazed windows providing you with greater peace of mind.

It is installed complete with locking handles and multiple safety systems making them much harder to force open and break. Most modern windows are now made from UPVC rather than timber so they will require much less maintenance compared to traditional windows and they won’t rot or disintegrate over time.

Double glazing is not only useful for your windows, they can also be applied to conservatories and orangeries making them much warmer during the winter months. The colours and finishing used can also be matched to the windows and the rest of your property making your home much more appealing aesthetically.

Overall, investing in a new set of windows will be well worth it in the long run, they are more energy efficient, secure and require little maintenance.

Read Up On The Green Deal Now

Saturday, August 13th, 2011

The threat of global warming is an issue that simply refuses to go away. The increasing reliance on fossil fuels amongst property owners is partly responsible for the overall temperature of the planet rising and the government has recognised the need to do something about it via the impending ‘Green Deal’.

Too many UK homes and places of business are currently poorly insulated, leaking heat and wasting energy. This alone contributes over a quarter of the UK’s carbon emissions and also results in people having to fork out a fortune on energy bills.

Due to launch in late 2012, the Green Deal will give householders and businesses the opportunity to install energy efficiency measures without paying for it in advance. Instead, they will be able to approach their current energy provider for a loan to cover the initial cost and pay it back through the savings made on future energy bills.

Any savings made through a homeowner’s chosen energy efficient product must be equal to or greater than the costs attached to the energy bill. This means that over the 25 year lifespan of a product you could potentially earn more than you spend.

If there comes a time when you want to move home, your Green Deal payments will then be passed onto the new owner of your property. The energy efficiency of your property may even give buyers the incentive they need to put in an offer for your home.

The UK is committed to an ambitious greenhouse gas emissions reduction target of 80% by 2050 as part of The Climate Change Act 2008 and it is hoped that the Green Deal will enable them to reach this goal.

It isn’t clear yet exactly which type of energy efficient measures will qualify for the Green Deal. Although it is not expected that conservatories will be included, it is hoped that products such as double glazing, triple glazing and other types of replacement windows will be involved.

More details are expected to be announced before parliament takes its annual summer break so watch this space…
