From our experience with thousands of successful video consultations with building companies, we know there are 3 main steps you should follow to ensure our meeting goes smoothly.

With whom to attend the consultation

Each project involes afew people making crucial decisions about the project, we recommend inviting those individuals. Why? To simplify the process for you. Let’s consider an example.

EXAMPLE of Why the presence of decision-makers is so important

Imagine spending time discussing, analyzing, and fine-tuning the technical details of the windows to ensure they match perfectly with the project’s requirements.

Everything seems to be in place, but then, at the last minute, it turns out that one of decision-makers doesn’t accept some functionality of the windows. He prefers something completely different, a change that affects the technical specifications of the order.

This sends everyone back to the drawing board, leading to extra costs and delays in the project.

By ensuring that all essential decision-makers are present at our video meeting, we can collaboratively address and resolve critical elements. Consider if you should invite some people, specifically those in charge of:

  • the financial aspect (who approve the cost outlined in the proposal),
  • design and usability (who evaluate if the windows align with the functional and aesthetic expectations),
  • technical requirements (who verify that the ordered products adhere to the project’s specifications),
  • and installation considerations (who determine the feasibility of installing windows sourced from Europe).

Set yourself up for honest communication

The success of our cooperation depends not only on the quality of our products or the efficiency of our processes, but also on a deep understanding of your needs, expectations and challenges. That’s why we care so much about honesty – because this is the way to build lasting, trusting business relationships.

If you take a little time to prepare for your meeting with us, it will be super-efficient and save you a lot of time in the future. We look forward to meeting with you, ready for a sincere and open conversation, and feeling excited to work together and pursue your goals together.
