What gets pre-loaded
preferenceimportance 9/10 Customer communication — confirm the appointment with the technician's name, never the company's
All customer-facing appointment confirmations name the specific technician arriving (with their photo + first name + a sentence of bio), not the company name. Home service customers are letting a stranger into their home for an unsupervised 90 minutes; named-technician confirmations cut no-show + reschedule rate by 35% versus generic company-name confirmations because the relationship is with the human, not the brand. Surface a watch item if any appointment dispatches without the named-technician confirmation hitting the customer's inbox.
preferenceimportance 9/10 Pricing transparency — every quote shows the parts cost line-itemed before labour
All quotes lead with the parts-cost line-item (with the wholesale source URL where defensible) before the labour cost. Home service customers in 2026 expect parts-pricing transparency post-Roto-Rooter / Right Honest Plumbing settlement coverage, and quotes that bury parts-cost win at 0.7× the rate of transparent quotes. The transparency isn't generosity — it's a competitive moat against the companies still hiding the markup. Surface a watch item on any quote that ships without the parts/labour split.
lessonimportance 8/10 Callback red flag — same address, same job category, within 90 days
Any appointment to an address with a prior service in the same job category (plumbing-to-plumbing, HVAC-to-HVAC) within 90 days is a callback signal. Whether or not the original work failed, the customer perceives it as the company's accountability — surface a watch item the moment the dispatch is scheduled so the technician arrives knowing the recent history and primed to address it directly. Callbacks the technician didn't know about beforehand convert to negative reviews at 6× the rate of callbacks they did.
lessonimportance 7/10 Review cadence — request reviews 24 hours after invoice, never at completion
Review-request timing matters more than the request itself. Customers asked for reviews at the moment of completion respond at 18% but rate at 4.3 stars average; customers asked 24 hours after invoice respond at 31% and rate at 4.7 stars average — the gap is wide enough to dominate any choice of review platform or copy template. Surface a watch item on any completed job whose review request fired before the 24-hour mark; the early-fire rate is also a leading indicator of the technician trying to influence the response in person which is the worst possible long-term review-quality signal.
Sample signal seeded on day 1
Sample dispatch coordination — repeat address within 90 days
Dispatched a plumbing technician to an address that received plumbing service 47 days ago. Worth flagging to the technician before arrival and surfacing a watch item: callback signal regardless of root cause, customer will perceive it as the company's accountability. Brief the technician on the prior visit, primed to address the recent history directly on arrival, and notify the dispatcher to follow up post-visit on whether the second visit was a continuation of the first issue or genuinely separate.
