Weeks 4-6: Supervised Appointments

Overview

During Weeks 4–6, the new sales rep runs live appointments with a senior rep or Operations Manager present as an observer. The new rep leads the full appointment; the observer coaches after, not during.

Who Supervises

Operations Manager or designated senior sales rep.

Rep Responsibilities

The rep runs the complete appointment:

  • Pre-appointment preparation (review customer history in ServiceTitan, confirm appointment)
  • Arrival and home protection (shoe covers, drop cloths)
  • Greeting and rapport building
  • Diagnosis and needs assessment (listen first, ask questions)
  • Present Good/Better/Best options with pricing
  • Handle objections
  • Introduce financing if needed (GoodLeap soft check)
  • Close or schedule follow-up
  • Request 5-star Google review
  • Log outcome in ServiceTitan immediately after leaving
  • Observer Role

    Observer does NOT intervene during the appointment unless:

    • A serious ethical concern arises
    • The rep is about to commit to an unapproved price
    • The customer becomes hostile

    After the appointment: 10-minute debrief — what went well, one improvement area.
