In any line of business making contacts with others within your industry can always play a useful part in helping you generate ideas, debates and leads. The glass industry is no different and due to time and geographical constraints it can be difficult to interact with them on a regular basis. Well if you run or are part of a conservatory or double glazing company then you really ought to sign up to the new GlassTalk website, or as we like to call it the ‘Facebook’ of the glass industry.

The new Glasstalk website is basically a social media networking tool for the double glazing industry allowing you to air your views online with other installers and suppliers. Once logged into the site users can create their own profile, add a picture of themselves and both post comments on their wall or comment on other users’ thoughts.

The beauty of the GlassTalk website is that it is industry specific meaning that your fellow users and yourself are very likely to be intrigued in what everyone has to say on for example a conservatory. Whereas, Facebook is not really designed to be used as a forum for discussion on conservatories, double glazing or uPVC windows. If you did use it in that way, then you may soon find yourself without many friends, but on Glasstalk such topics are likely to be embraced by others.

Sometimes when discussing business with a fellow user you may not wish for all your posts to be made public. You can instead message all users privately so that any delicate or confidential information such as the exchanging of telephone numbers can be kept between the two of you. Being able to feed ideas off other people and seeing what others are doing in order to improve their company could be beneficiary for your own business.

So get registered on the GlassTalk website, create your username and profile, start making friends and get talking!
