As part of an on-going commitment to support its growing network of dealers, the country’s leading home improvement company Conservatory Outlet is offering free retail sales training to each of its members in 2012.

The renowned conservatory company has commissioned sales guru Paul Clifton to run and deliver a series of comprehensive masterclasses to almost 100 salesmen over a six month period.

Held at three separate locations, Clearview Home Improvements in Warrington, Synseal in Mansfield and Hazlemere Windows in High Wycombe, the sessions aim to help salesman further increase their conversion rates and leave them feeling more skilled and motivated.

Paul Clifton was specifically chosen by the double glazing specialists as he is a renowned retail sales trainer and has worked extensively within the conservatories industry himself to great success. He has even written and published a book on the art of sales techniques.

The training is specifically tailored for retail organisations and will help each of the 19 Conservatory Outlet dealers to capitalise upon what they each achieved in 2011, with many dealers already experiencing a record level of sales and leads over the past 12 months.

Installers who have joined the Conservatory Outlet network in recent years have, on average, experienced a 25% increase in sales in the first year – followed by consistent year upon year growth.

Conservatory Outlet is currently looking recruit installers with the relevant credentials required to become a network member in the North East, Central Midlands and Central Belt of Scotland.

Showrooms are extremely important for us as they allow us to pass on both the advice and much needed inspiration that consumers need to make their home something truly special.”

Eden Windows, Doors & Conservatories of Kent has become the newest member of the Conservatory Outlet network and the seventh installer to join in the last twelve months.

Based in Gillingham, Eden will now supply homeowners in ‘The Garden of England’ with Conservatory Outlet products including conservatories and double glazing; something which will be reflected in the company’s imminent showroom refurbishment. Supported by Conservatory Outlet, Eden have designed what is set to be one of the best conservatory showrooms in Kent and plan to open a second within the next twelve months.

Following the establishment of several dealers in and around London, the South East represented natural progression for Conservatory Outlet as the fabricator strives to achieve full UK coverage via its network of installer-customers.

Similarly Eden was the natural choice within this area because of its experience and success throughout Medway, Canterbury and Tonbridge. Indeed one of Eden’s first orders placed with Conservatory Outlet was for a conservatory with a retail value of £55,000.

As a result of joining the Conservatory Outlet network, Eden will now be the sole recipient of the relevant leads generated by Conservatory Outlet’s main retail-facing website as well as those generated by its own brand new website, also provided by Conservatory Outlet.

The installer will also benefit from provisions of high quality bespoke brochures, a 24/7 electronic quoting and ordering system, and the trade secrets of many other successful installers within the network.

‘I’ve always felt that a Conservatory Outlet dealer would prosper in Kent because of the style of properties and relatively affluent demographic in the area. I’m delighted that this dealer is Eden Windows.’ said Greg Kane, sales director of Conservatory Outlet.

Commenting on the partnership Paul Kelly, managing director of Eden Windows, said; ‘Conservatory Outlet dealers are among the best installers in the country and I wanted Eden Windows to be part of this elite network. What’s more, within days of our new website going live we started to receive leads which have now been converted into sales and finished installations.’
