The problem
Your best leads walk out the door on a service ticket.
A tech swaps a capacitor on a 2009 system that's been patched three summers in a row, and nobody brings up replacement. Two months later the homeowner calls somebody else.
Most techs don't want to be salesmen, and they shouldn't have to be. They need a simple way to tell the homeowner the truth about their system and either hand it off to an advisor or close it themselves.
What the tech checks
Let the equipment start the conversation.
A tech never has to pitch. They just report what they see, honestly, and let the homeowner decide.
