Where are the Savings Made?
Salesman’s Commission
Salesmen earn a commission from every conservatory they sell. They win some, they lose some and therefore must build in a substantial margin for themselves and also to pay them for the time they spent on the ones they didn’t sell!
Company Profits
The installation company selling you the service will also obviously want to profit from the sale of the conservatory and overseeing and managing the installation so will also add a sizeable margin for the company owner as profit.
