The Mindset Shift Before the Script
The difference between a tech who closes 80% of first visits and one who closes 50% usually isn't experience. It's the presentation. The high-closer isn't selling harder — they're presenting in a way that makes the customer's decision easier.
The Universal Framework
Always present prices before descriptions. Close with 'which' not 'do you want':
- Good: "The minimum that fixes the immediate problem. $[price]. Gets you working today."
- Better: "The recommended fix. $[price]. Addresses the root cause. Holds for [X] years."
- Best: "The complete solution. $[price]. New [part], [warranty], peace of mind for [X] years."
Close: "Which of these works best for you?"
Plumbing Script: Water Heater
- Good — $280: Flush and relight. Extends life 12–18 months.
- Better — $490: Anode rod replacement and full service.
- Best — $1,100: Full replacement. 40-gallon, 6-year warranty.
"Which of those makes most sense for you?"
HVAC Script: AC Not Cooling
- Good — $180: Capacitor replacement.
- Better — $340: Capacitor + refrigerant check + coil cleaning.
- Best — $680: Full tune-up + 1-year service agreement.
"All three get you cool today. Which fits your situation?"
Electrical Script: Panel Upgrade
- Good — $450: Breaker replacement.
- Better — $1,200: Panel upgrade to 200A.
- Best — $2,100: Full replacement with surge protection, 5-year warranty.
"Depending on your long-term plans for the house — which direction makes sense?"
5 Rules for Using This Script
- Present prices before descriptions.
- Don't apologize for the Best tier.
- Always close with 'which' not 'do you want.'
- Show the screen — physical options outperform verbal quotes.
- If they say 'let me think about it,' ask: 'Is it the pricing, or something you need clarified?'
