JaysonKandiah Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 Just to clarify you are trying to sell as an installer, not a supplier right? What does it matter what someone sells at? Different markets, targets, regions etc etc. Sadly, I'm afraid you appear to have a lot to learn about the subject of selling in general. Im selling as an installer of course mate, and Cubit, Im afraid i know a fair bit about selling and business itself both through real world experiences and through extensive knowledge but to put it strictly honestly we never know what will happen and when and selling isn't as easy as it was before due to current economic climate CCTV Distributor of AcuraPRO and Samsung CCTV Equipment - Trade Customers: www.acurasystemsdirect.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew.brough Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I'm not sure I would share the view that it has become harder to sell due to the economic downturn. In my own business we have added significant subscriber base in a recession. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisMurphy Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 The main problem is the crappy stuff on the market giving humans the unrealistic view of what they can get for the money. Have calls for 4 cams for under £500 installed..........I blame maplins etc.. 30 years of experience, ssaib approved family business.

I went to do a quotation last week and after quoting him 1100 on four cameras I got told that it was expensive and that marlins could do better......now tell me my good friends, how do we work with that Maplins* CCTV Distributor of AcuraPRO and Samsung CCTV Equipment - Trade Customers: www.acurasystemsdirect.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaysonKandiah Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 1100 for 4 cams is crazy cheap imo too and you in London? Haha bro I thought so too! We originally charged around 1500 and had issues picking customers up! Don't get me wrong the cameras are bloody amazing and we provide all the bells and whistles it's just customers are having issues accepting that, yes we are in London we cover the m25 area mate CCTV Distributor of AcuraPRO and Samsung CCTV Equipment - Trade Customers: www.acurasystemsdirect.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
