Over the years in the fenestration market, we have seen, time and time again, that “collecting” quotations from suppliers is expensive, time-consuming, and ineffective.
What if there was a method that placed you at the very heart of the process? Instead of you having to specify your project requirements in a quote request, the focus shifts to a personalized understanding of your unique needs right from the start.
Let’s dive deeper into the subject and discover the smarter way to engage with suppliers — read on.
In this article, you can find answers to your questions:
“Can’t you just prepare a quotation for me?” is a question we hear sometimes when speaking with new clients. Normally, you would send a request for a quotation and simply receive it.
Let’s think for a moment. Have you ever measured how much time it takes to gather all the offers, to make all the phone calls, and send all the emails?
Typically, you request an offer, then spend hours on calls and sending dozens of emails, only to find (after hours of analyzing!) the final offer doesn’t meet your needs or budget. You have to request quotes again and again… It’s a waste of time. We know it because we’ve been at your place, spending hundreds of hours for resourcing prices at window market.
Instead of you requesting quotes with your project specs, we start by understanding your needs through questions. This way, we ensure the offer you receive after consultation is perfectly tailored to your requirements.
How can I get an idea of the prices before an online consultation?
We understand that you need to have an idea about the prices. That’s why we’ve prepared online calculators for you, where you can check the price within seconds, even before sending any request for a quote.
You can find out about the prices of our windows immediately by using online calculators
During the consultation, you will receive an approximate price.
After the consultation, upon assessing your needs and project requirements, you will receive an offer with an exact quotation.
Note:
In 9 out of 10 projects, we find profitable optimizations for our clients. Our customers have already saved millions of dollars by doing so.

Here’s what kind of questions you can expect from us:
what is your company size and profile
what is your experience of importing windows
what your window projects are about

What do I pay for when working with debesto?

Why do I need to meet with a debesto consultant via video on my laptop?
Think about the time you’ve already spent dealing with window procurement on your own – endless phone calls and emails. We deeply understand these challenges and, fortunately, have found a better way!
Our clients’ experiences reveal that a 45-minute video call can resolve issues that typically drag on for weeks through emails and phone calls. Video consultations can significantly save time and money while preventing misunderstandings. The result? A streamlined purchasing process for you.
But why a video call on a laptop? Why not just a simple phone call?
Video allows the same level of engagement as meeting in person – seeing your business partner face to face is important. During a video call, we can address crucial points immediately and show you things in real-time. Thanks to the screen sharing option, we can present the discussed aspects (e.g. technical details of window specification) more precisely than via phone or email.
Why does debesto recommend including other decision-makers in our meeting?
Your role, whether in your company or in your construction project, likely involves collaboration and coordination with others. We understand that you might need to align with or even persuade people actively involved into project, responsible for:
budget (they accept the pricing from the offer),
design & functionality (they assess whether the windows will meet expectations for use and appearance),
technical specification (they ensures that products are ordered in accordance with project requirements),
installation (they decide whether the team will be able to install windows from Europe).
Our approach is designed to simplify this for you. By having all key decision-makers join our meeting, we can collectively discuss and agree on important details.
This method helps prevent the need for you to relay information later, which can lead to misunderstandings and wasted time. With everyone involved from the start, the whole process becomes more efficient and straightforward. We don’t play broken telephone and ensure clear and direct communication.
What can I expect when I proceed with a consultation for my project?
Discovery call: This is a brief conversation where our primary goal is to schedule a consultation with the business consultant best suited to your company’s needs. We aim to ensure we can assist with your window project, particularly regarding importing windows from Poland to the USA.
Video consultation: We’ll delve into your specific requirements for window importation, possibly leading to a more comprehensive project consultation. Here, we explore all options, gauge your clients’ needs, and pinpoint the best solution for you. Alternatively, we might recommend buying locally or directly from a Polish supplier if it suits your project better.
For some clients, the process may initially seem too lengthy and complex. However, once they experience it, they recognize its value. It proves to be an efficient and productive meeting that is worth every minute spent.
