How to endure ‘ Silly Season ’

»»
AS THE STARTING PISTOL sounds , and Silly Season begins , many installers and fabricators across the nation will be rallying their troops to meet the demands and expectations of panicked homeowners looking to bring a new addition to their home before Christmas comes around . With preparation a key factor in holding up under the strain , Endurance has been busy over the preceding months .
The ideal way to cool a demanding , impatient customer is to offer them a short installation time . Easier said than done , installers and fabricators can only achieve this when their supplier has the capability to accommodate their requests . Endurance Doors , leaders in the composite door market , have invested in strengthening their offering when it comes to its Installer Network .
The first venture to help Endurance increase the quality of service was to expand its fleet . This allows delivery of 50 composite doors in a single delivery , a notable improvement on the initial 15 door offering .
To ensure the smooth transition , Endurance also invested in an increased number of dedicated drivers who use vehicle tracking to ensure delivery times are monitored in real time .
The next step was then to increase the amount of professional service engineers in operation . This helps customers to protect their time , which becomes especially precious during this time of year . With a bigger team of service engineers helping out ,
Endurance Installers can spend more time on selling and fitting .
These two factors , alongside the fact that Endurance is able to deliver weekly throughout England and Wales , are imperative when it comes to helping their Preferred Installer Network endure Silly Season . Members of this network will be able to enjoy the benefits of fast lead times , reduced aftersales , professional customer support and a unique degree of product quality .
Stephen Nadin , Managing Director of Rocal , commented on Endurance and Silly Season : “ At Endurance , our sales have grown by over 20 % this year so far . We ’ re expecting a very busy Autumn , which we will accommodate by continuing to invest in our business to ensure our customers reap the benefits of our growth along with us .”
