We Are Not the Enemy

career-landing-sales

We have all done it, even me, that horrible, no good, very bad saying “I’m just looking”. I wish I had a dime for every time I have been told that. Let’s face it, furniture sales people rate somewhere between used car salesmen and the latest sell from home fad. But truthfully we are not the enemy! 

Let me explain. When we greet you, it is honestly just to welcome you to our beautiful showroom, if you will, our home away from home! We want to see you get the most from your visit. We understand that making a furniture purchase is a big deal, it’s not something that you do every day and it takes time, thought and planning. No matter what stage of the process you are in we are here to help guide you. So, when we ask you a few questions about your visit it is simply to guide you in the right direction.

We are always willing to let you browse on your own as well, but please give us a chance to share our knowledge.  Here at FurnitureLand we undergo continuous training on our many product lines, both existing and new. We are updated on changes, construction, options and all the things that we can do with each one. As one of the largest mattress providers on the Delmarva Peninsula we are also experts in helping you get your best night’s sleep ever. When you say “I will know it when I see it” you are setting yourself up for a long frustrating search in futility.   By describing what you envision we can often lead you to a vendor that will have a custom option that is just what you want. We can even drape your fabric choices and show you what the finished product will look like by using technology. Better still we may even have what you want right in our warehouse! Yup, that’s right, you see, we have well over a million dollars in inventory and not everything will fit on our showroom floor. In addition we can utilize our vast resource of catalogs to help find that perfect piece.

We are called Design Consultants for a reason. We don’t just sell you things. Believe it or not, we can have great ideas for decorating, color coordination, room layouts and even complimentary in home consultations. Many of us hold certifications in Interior  Decorating. We have a team mentality too, often working together to help you find an awesome solution for your room or offer ideas.

And then there is that dirty little word…price. Everyone has a budget or a price that they are willing to pay. We know our promotions, financing options and ways to assist you in getting the furniture you want and need and the best price possible. I know you are thinking “yeah right, best way to make the most money”, but really we do. The reason why is because we are just like you. Just like you we live here, play here and have our families here. Just like you we work at an honest job to provide for them. Just like you we have to watch our budgets. We would much rather make a good, fair sale than no sale. Plus we are really good at helping you get what you need and want and keep you within your budget. We like to be creative and lead you to a beautiful new room.

Of course, price matters and we have something for every budget. Exceptional deals with Barnes Buys and private labels help get you the most bang for your buck. Helping you find the right pieces at the right price takes training and experience. We can help with that, because the right piece for your home is not necessarily the most expensive.

So please, the next time you stop in, just take a few moments to chat with your Design Consultant and help us to help you make the most of your furniture or mattress search.
