Week 1 — Gutters: Customer Communication + Review Ask (Lesson)
What you’re doing today
You’re running the communication that turns a “one-time gutter job” into:
- a 5-star review
- repeat work
- roof/house/windows bundles
Why this matters
Top 50–75% pricing needs top 50–75% communication.
When communication is clean, customers feel safe — and they buy more.
Step-by-step communication timeline (foreman simple)
- Arrival: confirm scope + downspouts.
- Mid-job: message if a downspout won’t verify or you find damage.
- Completion: Proof Pack + summary.
- Review ask: 24–72 hours later.
Completion message (with Proof Pack)
Use Proof Pack completion language:
Review ask timing
Ask 24–72 hours after completion.
Use:
Script note (get specifics)

That builds Voice-of-Customer you can reuse.

- Fix: let them experience the result for a day.
- Asking for a generic review
- Fix: ask for specifics.
