25 PRO INSTALLER MARCH 2014 PRO NEWS @proinstaller1 PLUG IN AND WATCH SALES SOAR! Door-Stop’s 24/7 Sales Manager users show 44% rise in sales. Door-Stop’s 24/7 Sales Manager website plugin is already helping installers improve sales. The Sales Manager is a simple to install plug-in which allows fabricators and installers to use online ordering and pricing for composite doors on their own website. Trade or homeowner clients can design, order and pay for the door they want, at any time of day or night. It’s a great sales aid for installers and fabricators and, although it was only fully launched in September 2013, the results are already impressive with the first users reporting significant increases in sales. In a recent report a snapshot comparison shows Sales Manager users’ business up 44%. Of course not all the increase can be put down to the 24/7 Sales Manager, but customers are enthusiastic about the benefit to sales. Andrew Johnson, MD of Leighton Buzzard Home Improvements, is in no doubt about the benefits of the ‘enthusiastic about the benefit to sales’ Sales Manager. “We’ve been using Sales Manager for eight months now – initially in beta testing – and we’re already at least 35% up,” says Andrew. “We’re aiming to do 10 or 12 composite doors a week in the first quarter of 2014 (we had 17 orders in our first week back after Christmas): miles up on what we would have done before, and the growth is down to selling online. It’s going to pay us a big dividend. Sales Manager is very straightforward to install and use – from our side, as well as the custom- er’s, and the statistics are really useful too. It doesn’t just generate enquiries, it actually sells for us.” The 24/7 Sales Manager also provides simple-to-access feedback on what customers are ordering, which products are selling well and which promotions are working best, helping with longer term business planning.
