£200million a month quoted on Tommy Trinder
Software specialist, Tommy Trinder, is celebrating another milestone as the total number of window companies using the sales platform passes 550.
“We are on a mission to put the fun back into selling windows,” said founder and CEO, Chris Brunsdon. “Getting to 550 subscribers is a sign we’re making progress!”
Chris adds that Tommy Trinder has established itself as ‘the go to app’ for installers looking to add ‘zip’ to their sales process. The firm’s patented Framepoint Technology allows users to free draw PVC-U, aluminium and timber windows and doors with a finger or mouse, just like sketching on a pad.
It’s easy to ‘chop-and-change’ ironmongery, colour, and bar options until the homeowner is happy and the price is right, he continues, and ‘in a tap’ installers can show clients how their new windows and doors will look in situ.
“Tommy makes it super simple to wow customers, even if you’re a dinosaur with computers,” explained Chris. “And in a demanding market it’s ever more important to have an edge, something to impress clients and keep those conversion rates up.”
According to Chris, the value of work quoted by installers on Tommy Trinder is on the rise too. Every month an eye-watering £200 million worth of work is reportedly quoted to homeowners via the platform. High average quote values are also a feature with quote values climbing towards £7,400 over the last six months.
“We are seeing premium materials making significant market gains; aluminium and timber combined now account for around half of everything quoted by installers,” said Chris. “And when it comes to PVC-U, Tommy subscribers are managing to get a bit more on every job by routinely showing off value-added features such as foils, dual colours, dummy vents, mechanical joints, flush casements, dummy peg-stays and surface mounted bars in a visual and compelling way.”
The firm reports that more than 12,000 homeowners receive a quote generated by Tommy Trinder every month and, notably, around half of them are provided with visualisations to accompany their quote.
“Homeowners are expecting a more complete buying experience and the makeover tool, where installers provide a mockup to the homeowner of their new windows in situ, is becoming a standard part of the quoting process,” said Chris.
“Homeowners expect more. They want to see exactly what they are getting; they want to try before they buy. And Tommy Trinder is proving to be the tool for the job.”
