Service Call Process~12 min
Options Presentation (Good/Better/Best)
Purpose
Define the Good/Better/Best framework for presenting repair and service options to customers.
When to Use
- After diagnostic and check-in on every service call
- Any time presenting a repair, replacement, or recommendation
The Good/Better/Best Framework
Why Three Options
- Customers want choices — one option feels take-it-or-leave-it
- Three tiers let customers select based on budget and priorities
- Better (middle) is where most customers land
- This is about complete information, not upselling
Building Options
Good (Economy): Addresses the immediate problem. Minimum viable repair meeting code. Lowest cost. May not prevent recurrence.
Better (Recommended): Addresses the problem AND related issues. Longer-lasting with better materials. Includes preventive elements. Best value — your recommended option.
Best (Premium): Comprehensive solution for root cause and all related systems. Highest quality materials. Longest warranty. Includes upgrades or modernization.
Presenting to the Customer
Present Financing
The Decoy Effect
- Good makes Better look like great value
- Best anchors what a premium solution costs
- Use this ethically to help customers see the full picture
Important Notes
- ALWAYS present three options — never just one
- Never pressure — present, recommend, let them choose
- If customer wants time, leave the estimate and follow up per protocol
- For larger repairs, get options reviewed by coach before presenting
