Payment Collection & Closeout

Purpose

Define payment collection and job closeout at the end of every service call.

When to Use

  • After all work is completed and verified

Procedure

1. Verify Completion

  • Confirm all authorized work is complete and tested
  • Run water, flush toilets, check for leaks
  • Ensure CO and pressure testing complete if applicable
  • Take final photos
  • 2. Walk Customer Through

  • Show customer what you did
  • Explain how to use new equipment
  • Point out anything to monitor
  • Answer questions
  • 3. Collect Payment

  • Present final invoice in ServiceTitan — review line items
  • Collect full payment before packing up (per Payment Policy)
  • Accepted: credit card, debit card, cashier's check, cash, financing
  • No regular checks without manager approval
  • Process in ServiceTitan, provide receipt
  • Cash: count in front of customer, receipt, drop at shop dropbox before end of day
  • 4. ServiceTitan Closeout

  • Finalize invoice with all line items and correct pricing
  • Ensure photos and notes uploaded
  • Log time accurately
  • Close the job — no open jobs
  • 5. Request a Review

  • Ask: "Would you mind leaving us a Google review?"
  • Share the Google review link
  • Do not pressure — genuine ask goes a long way
  • Satisfied customer plus review is the best outcome
  • Important Notes

    • Never leave without payment unless supervisor approved
    • Customer disputes: stay calm, call supervisor — do not discount on your own
    • Commissions paid when job fully collected — on-site collection matters
