Professionalism - No Sales Pressure Agreement

What To Look For: No Sales Pressure Agreement

Why It's Important: Many low-end contractors will resort to high-pressure sales tactics to get you to buy before you've had an opportunity to do proper due diligence on them. If you know nothing about the contractor prior to the sales call (from literature, references, online information), and they give you a low-ball price--but only if you buy right this minute--you should be wary. Any time you feel uncomfortable or unduly pressured in a sales environment, you should ask the contractor to "back off." Reputable companies will have a no-tricks, no-pressure sales pledge signed by the owner, sales manager, and each sales associate.
