More than 50 home improvement representatives logged onto the webinar for a deep dive into what today’s home improvement buyers are demanding and how contractors can create stellar customer satisfaction and close more sales. Here are some highlights of what they saw and heard:

Can’t Get No Satisfaction? Yes You Can

According to the Consumer Federation of America, home improvement contractors alarmingly rank third among the top 10 complaint categories cited by homeowners. A Customer Satisfaction Study by J.D. Power suggests some reasons why, noting that home improvements are often a large, stressful investment, and it’s difficult to sort through the brands and options when choosing a home improvement contractor.

The good news, according to the Satisfaction Study, is that personalizing the selling experience drives customer satisfaction. An engaging sales environment that clarifies options, educates customers and sets realistic expectations are the keys. “Customers will be willing to invest more when they have this type of experience,” according to the study.

Technology That Personalizes Sales Presentations

Musch and Torrey agree with the J.D. Power assessment, and they say a digital quoting technology like Paradigm Vendo, integrated with Ingage presentation software, are the keys to creating that ideal selling experience. For example:
