The process of researching and purchasing a swim spa can be overwhelming. There are a lot of products on the market. A consumer has a big task simply in learning to tell the difference between the good companies, the great companies and the companies to avoid. The price of a spa means something, but the value of a spa, the reputation of the company and the trust you have in your salesperson are all far more important factors than the price tag on the spa. The better your relationship with your salesperson, the higher your spa value will be and the more money they will save you by managing the process professionally and ethically for you.
How the Swim Spa Process Works
Swim Spas are available in so many different types of swim currents, features, model sizes, and price ranges. We work with most of our customers between one month to a year prior to delivery, assisting over the phone and in email with answering questions and providing pricing, assisting in person in our showroom for swim test visits, visiting homes for yard and pre-delivery walkthroughs, providing quotes, qualifying for financing, placing orders and taking their down payments 4-6 weeks before delivery, and scheduling & coordinating delivery with contractors prior to and on the day of delivery.
The process usually goes something like this:
- Fill out one of our web forms, or we receive a call or email inquiry from our customers requesting information.
- You will receive a phone call from our sales manager and email the next day with brochures and information.
- We’ll send you some emails with helpful details and tips.
- You call to ask questions and get pricing ballparks on certain models.
- Pertinent information is emailed or mailed to you after phone call is completed.
