There is a game changing tool at your fingertips that I bet you aren’t using to its full potential. In fact, you might not be using it at all.

And did I mention it’s FREE!

Your team is already carrying the pieces they need with them to make this work so why not change a few procedures and get the most out of it.Free Game Changing Tool You're Not Using - CVC Coaching

What am I talking about? I’m talking about FREE screen recording apps for your mobile devices.

Most home service technicians have long been taking pictures with their mobile phones and tablets in order to better explain a situation to a customer (or potential customer). Those pictures are also great for when you have to refer back to the job while sharing information or to keep for future reference. But with a simple FREE app, an easy introduction to the client about what you’re doing, and the push of a “button” you can turn those pictures into so much more.

Downloadable screen recording apps capture both the pictures on your smartphone or tablet and also the conversation that you are having with your customer and turn it all into a single saved file.

What’s so game changing about this? Here are just three significant applications.

Sales and Marketing

How many times have you had what felt like a very successful sales call only to have it fall apart because the other decision maker in the family didn’t understand the information being relayed to them? And why would they? The person you met with isn’t the expert – you are! How could they be expected to relay technical information they may never previously been exposed to someone who is really only worried about how much it’s going to cost?

How much time (money) is being spent on having the same conversation a second and third time just because of details being misunderstood? In this day and age where almost everyone is comfortable receiving an email and clicking on a file, the ability to send a recorded file showing the pictures and providing your first hand explanation of the situation is an opportunity you can’t afford not to start taking advantage of.

Not only will this process provide a better way of sharing information, but it also allows your customer to access the information whenever they want instead of having to wait for you to get back to them. No more running to your truck to return a call to customer one while finishing up with customer two or while trying to follow the GPS to customer three’s house.

Coaching and Training

Sure you ride along with your technicians to provide training and make sure they’re doing a good job. But what you’re really seeing is how they do on their best behavior when they know the boss is watching. By making the screen recording a regular part of every sales call, your technicians will get used to it very quickly and you will be able to get a more accurate picture of how they work.

How can you get your team the coaching and training they need to be the best if you don’t know what their true challenges are?

It’s also a great way to review your own sales calls. Many times what we meant to say and what we actually said are two completely different things. While listening to yourself can be torturous at first, having a recording like this to share with a coach can help you improve in ways nothing else will.

Cover Your Butt

The truth of the matter is, while we all seem to complain about it and wish it was different, we live in a very litigious society. People are not only quick to get mad they’re even quicker to blame someone else for it.

A recording of not only the pictures but also the conversation that outlines the work that is recommended the work that is being agreed to have done can help solve any potential “he said / she said” misunderstandings.

In the unfortunate circumstance of an insurance company trying to offload the liability for covering a claim for one reason or another it can be comforting to know you have your details well documented.

Go for greater
