[quote=Anonymous]If companies are still doing this, I have to imagine it is because they are managing to get some people to sign on the spot and pay the premium of going with a contractor that is charging over the market rate.

That will never work for me since I need to see things in writing and mull them over without a salesperson looking over my shoulder, and have time to formulate questions that I can email and get email responses back. Plenty of contractors are perfectly willing to do this without spending hours lecturing me about how great they are, how terrible the other companies are and why I need to sign right away.

If I am the customer, the salesperson's time is best spent identifying the best solution for my needs, putting together a competitive quote and answering my questions thoughtfully.

This thread is a good reminder that companies that do ask for both homeowners to be there are likely wanting us to sign on the spot and will take up a lot of our time. Avoiding these is a good tip! Thanks OP.[/quote]
