If you want to be successful in the window film business wherever you are located in the world, it takes a certain effort to enable a window film company to succeed in various markets. Each window film market is different and the way the market reacts in various countries is also different. However, I am convinced after numerous years of calling on car dealers, that there is definitely a formula and way of thinking that enables a window film company to establish a partnership with car dealership in its area.
It makes good sense for a window film company to capitalize on the opportunity available to them through dealerships within their area. Dealerships for a smart sales manager is a hunting ground for business in this glass protection industry we find ourselves in. Window Film Representatives in the tint a car division, should call on all dealerships within their area at least once every two weeks, offering good public relations input.
It is imperative that the sales manager/consultant/owner know and connect with all sales consultants on the showroom floor of dealerships. Personally, when I walk into a dealership I know all the sales consultants names, sales manager’s name as well as the D.P. After calling for so many years and offering an excellent smash and grab window film service, these humans in these dealerships appreciate the quality work and efficient manner in which we deal with their account. Some of our joint effort in creating a “win win” for both the dealership and Klingshield has certainly paid off after all these years.
Some dealership relationships go back over 10 years and this is a record we are proud of. We appreciate the constant business our car dealerships give us and are always conscious of the fact that our service and quality is only as good as the last completed smash and grab installation.
Offering a consistent good finish on window film is not an easy task. Applying film to motor cars is a specialized business. Each and every window needs to go through a quality control check at different points. Each car needs to be delivered back to the dealership in a sparkling condition.
Promises and urgent jobs need to go into express queues to enable us to always deliver the best possible service. The quality of our window film is the best money can buy and the range available is exclusive to Klingshield, the number one window film company in marketing and installing in the whole wide world. 38 years of eating, dreaming and loving this industry, I Leon Levy, am blessed to be able to be involved in such a creative, innovative amazing product range.
Kleen-Shield -Our new range of products which includes Kleen-Shield, the amazing liquid glass coating product which was developed in England in 1980 and won a Prince Charles award for invention. Kleen-Shield liquid coating improves visibility in rain and shine by 50%. During rainy conditions the water rolls off the glass and creates clearer vision.
When it comes to keeping your windows clean, once you have had Kleen-Shield fitted to the interior and exterior of your car windows, nothing will stick to it as it has a silky surface not allowing for any dirt or grime to remain permanently adhered to it. Cleaning your windows becomes a piece of cake.
Simply wipe them off with a mutton cloth and they will remain clean in the interior indefinitely. The exterior where the Kleen-Shield is also applied, will have long lasting effects. However, the front windscreen will take heavy weathering and washing and should be reapplied when necessary, depending on the conditions the vehicle windscreen is subjected to.
Armies around the world utilize this technology which they apply to their vehicles to improve visibility during various conditions. Airbus and various other airlines utilize this kind of technology to improve visibility conditions when in mid air or going through poor visibility conditions once airborne.
