Your “Cheerleader Challenge”? Just look at the tormented Emotional Landscape of a first time customer waiting for you (or your tech) to invade the Inner Sanctum of her home! HINT: Its not pretty!

“Break the ice” even BEFORE you (or your techs) arrive at their home.

One of the very best “ice-breakers” is to “pre-orient” the home owner on what to expect on their Big Day! After booking the job simply say:

NOTE: Be sure to include a link to your client’s Additional Service Options available on your website. And wouldn’t it also be great to “pre-introduce” your tech too? Hmmmm… another topic for another day!
