The 4-Step Visit Checklist
Presentation Station · Residential HVAC replacement visits
Home / client: ____________________ Advisor: ____________________ Date: __________
Their #1 concern, in their words:
1. Discovery
- Confirm the home, people, number of systems, and rooms served.
- Ask: “What made you call? Which concern matters most?”
- Ask when it happens and what they have tried; read back their priority.
2. Your system today
- Use the attic, closet or mini-split view appropriate to the system you are explaining.
- Check the data-plate year and observed condition. Use supporting photos and findings in the conversation.
- Show the component, explain the finding, and connect it to their concern.
- Ask: “Does that picture make sense?” Keep model demonstrations distinct from measured findings.
3. Your options
- Show current versus proposed work, three equipment choices, and optional add-ons.
- Use accurate analogies: single-stage = on/off; two-stage = two outputs; a dimmer better describes variable capacity.
- Review the full price and actual discount before payment comparisons.
- Keep any energy-savings assumptions separate from the payment. Label payments: Example only — with approved credit. The lender’s approval sets the real rate and term.
4. Finance & sign
- Select the active saved approval; review its actual rate, term, and financing lines.
- Check that the selected scope and figures match the agreement and client record.
- Resolve questions before signing the agreement in the app.
- Check that the client record reflects the agreed work and current sale status.
- Confirm the next step that has actually been arranged. For an open quote, set the next contact and send follow-ups yourself.
