How do
we do it?
Is
this a quality product?
Am I going to get what I pay for?
The
answer to both those questions
is a resounding, “Yes”.
But you’re still probably
wondering how we can charge
so much less than the competition
and still continue to be in business,
right?
First of all, we run
a tight ship (Just ask
our commercial credit department).
We have our manufacturing and sales down to a science, which greatly reduces waste and overhead."We choose our advertising carefully
and ensure every promotional dollar
pays for itself. We automate our
internal systems as much as we
can. For example, the Absolute
Steel Estimator is an automated
program that configures all the
individual parts, including panels
and trim, for every one of the
buildings we offer. This makes
our Order Fulfillment Department
incredibly efficient, giving them
the time to individualize every
single set of instructions.
And this saves you an incredible
amount of time at the jobsite!
We don't have any frills like
fancy leather office chairs. Everything
we have we pay in full for it
when we need it. We’re not
a debt-ridden company that has
to have you, the consumer, support
exorbitant interest costs. An
example of this tight-fisted philosophy
is how we use our excess land:
we don’t pay rent; we derive
enough income from it to pay for
a big part of our overhead.
And despite having 30 day terms
from all our vendors/suppliers,
we pay all our bills every single
week. This is why we purchase
our products for less than the
nationwide mass merchants
(who probably dispute and chisel
them sixty days after receiving
the invoices).
We choose our employees very
carefully. This is not a company
that a laggard can make it in;
they just won’t be tolerated.
Second, we're straight
shooters. There are no
tricks in what we do, just
good, old-fashioned, reliable
business principles.
Quite often we're asked if we
bait our customers with low pricing
and then charge more once the
customer is committed to the transaction.
No, we don’t.
We believe in the old saying,
"You can shear a sheep many
times but you can only skin it
once." We know that ultimately,
you’ll deal with a person
and company you can trust. So
go ahead, call us. After just
a few minutes with one of our
building consultants, you’ll
appreciate the level of technical
expertise they have on our products
but more than that, you’ll
appreciate the frankness and honesty
you’ll feel right over the
phone.
We know our product. After
all, we’re the manufacturer.
What's the end result of all
this? Well, we're happy to tell
you that within some markets,
we're working on sixth generation
referrals. That’s doing
something right!
We’re also happy to tell
you that we’re a profitable
company that expects to be in
business for many years to come.
All this, of course, is due
to value-conscious customers like
you!
