Common Mistakes to Avoid
!Recording your voicemail while a loud impact wrench or garage door motor is running in the background.
!Failing to ask the customer if their car is trapped, which is the biggest indicator of an urgent $200+ job.
!Not mentioning that you are fully insured, which is a major concern for homeowners when you're working with heavy doors.
!Having a full mailbox that prevents new leads from leaving their contact information.
!Using a generic 'leave a message' greeting that doesn't mention garage doors, making the customer think they dialed the wrong number.
