Fletcher - Carpet Expert & Consumer Advocate
Consumers are
frequently misinformed, over-charged or sold the wrong flooring materials.
There are too many flooring salespeople that will tell you just about anything
in order to convince you to buy from them. Because most are commissioned salespeople. For them, no sale means no pay, and
hunger can easily cause salespeople to sacrifice integrity. This is why you
should never buy carpet based solely on the advice of a carpet salesperson.
You need the advice of someone who has your best interests in mind and who
doesn't sell carpet for a living. Someone like me.
Buying carpet is
complicated and you need to know exactly what you are doing if you want to get
the best deal and have it last as long as possible. You need to know
why one carpet will last for twenty years yet another carpet that looks
exactly the same will
wear out in five. Knowledge is power. Knowledge is how you protect yourself from
buying the wrong materials and paying too much.
Too many people have
limited knowledge about
the carpet they've purchased. They know how much
they spent on it and the name of the color, but they don’t have a clue what
fiber the carpet is made of. Why? They have trusted the salesperson to make all
the decisions for them. Sometimes that works and everything turns out all
right, but more often it is a very costly mistake.
Don’t trust a carpet
salesperson to make decisions for you, do your homework.
Learn how to comparison shop.
Learn how to find the best deals.
Learn which carpets can meet
your needs, budget and your lifestyle.

"Unless
the salesperson asks you a lot of questions about your flooring needs in an
honest attempt to help you select the right product to serve your needs, you
can assume that they are interested in nothing more than their next paycheck.
In that case they will likely applaud any selection you might make regardless
of it being a wise selection or not." - Alan Fletcher
