Focus on the Customer: Installation

Q: What is your primary role at Universal Windows Direct and why is it important to the customer?

A: I work in the Installation Department, checking window orders and scheduling material checklist appointments. This is important for a couple of reasons, the first being, because many times we serve as the secondary contact to the customer after their sales experience. The customer gets confirmation that their contract is here and approved and we schedule their next appointment to continue their home improvement purchase. We also help to answer any additional questions they might have. Secondly, it is important to check the orders before they go to be custom manufactured to make sure their order is accurate and their experience with us goes as quickly and smoothly as possible.

Q: What do you do in your job to ensure the customer has a great experience?

A: I do my best to answer any questions they may have. I cannot answer them, I will find someone who can. I also work with their schedules and ours to get their material checklist appointment scheduled as quickly as possible and have their orders placed and checked so they can enjoy their investment as soon as possible.

Q: When a customer comes to you with a problem or complaint, what do you do?

A: If a customer has a complaint or concern, I try to address the issue myself so that I can make sure it is handled promptly and professionally. There are situations that arise that may call for a manager or someone from another department. Those issues are dealt with on a case-by-case basis and I personally see to it that the customer is directed to the proper person to minimize response time.

Q: How have you gone above and beyond for customers?

A: Sometimes if paperwork is missed or needed from a customer, we will drive to them ourselves to make it more convenient. In most cases, they’ve already had to adjust their schedules for the sales visit, the checklist and the install so we try to make everything else as convenient as possible.

Q: What do you enjoy most about working at Universal Windows Direct?

A: My favorite part about working at UWD is the family atmosphere. My co-workers and management are all very friendly. The owners, Mike and Bill, take the time to get to know everyone and we see and interact with them on a regular basis. They truly care about their customers, the products they sell and their employees.
