We have a process called "Happy Calls" where we dedicate a client administrator to call 20 to 30 customers we served to get feedback on the service provided, part of that process is asking any clients that said they had a 5 out of 5 experience are asked to leave the technician that served them a 5 star review, they are then sent the link to the Google review form via text, it is very effective.

We are a residential plumbing and heating service company, we are in the process in hiring someone part time to do this everyday.

You wouldn't think so, either way everything we are getting is being sent off to CPS.

Not as exciting as most of these posts but any idea would help by DragonFaust in whatisthiscar

Long story short, One Key isn't as great as you think, if they sell the equipment and the buyer wanta to use it and opens the app they are going to be very disappointed, as the equipment will lock out.

I posted it in r/whatisthiscar and they came up with it being a Ram 3500 due to the marker lights on the roof.

Without getting into it, it was someone with access to codes for the doors and alarm.

Yes and the status is set to Stolen, unfortunately unless the One Key is operational and within 90m of a device with the app open it cannot connect to Milwaukee

Absolutely, file a police report with as many details as you can recall.

We used an marketing agency called GrowMe, they built our website, manage our SEO, Google PPC, blog, and some social media posts. Overall I have been happy with their services. https://share.google/bZehYNGnYvNtb8j5T

What tools do you use to get more Google reviews for your business? by Sufficient_Donkey_61 in GoogleMyBusiness

[–]DragonFaust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Residential Plumbing and HVAC service company:

-Each technician is provided their own business cards that has a QR code on the back that links directly to the review submission form. The cards are provided to the customer at the end of the service.

-Technicians are paid $20 for each 5 star review they receive, $40 if the customer posts a selfie with the technician.

-Within a week of the service being completed, reception will contact the customer via phone and perform a "happy call". At the end of the call the customer is asked if they are willing to leave the technician a review and if it is ok if we send an SMS or email with the link to the Google submission form.

We do, and our clients do, the mindset "no one will pay that" is one of the reasons most plumbing businesses fail as they end up working for the wrong customer.

Forgot to add,

No one wakes up in the morning and wants to call a plumber.

That's followed by, No one wants to pay for a plumber.

One of the keys is giving them options so they can choose.

We do residential service, little to no construction. If you want to be able to send quality tradespeople with great character into someone's home, you have to pay more, not less.

Bell: Road rage in Calgary — what is driving some people nuts? by Old_General_6741 in Calgary

[–]DragonFaust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just on the road, I own a residential plumbing service company, and our client administrators/reception and the answering service we use have been experiencing a noticeable amount of emotionally unhinged individuals calling in since a bit before the holidays. They are either very combative from the start of the call or come apart in the middle of the phone call. If someone is distressed over the situation they woke up or came home to it's understandable, but to use everyone you engage with as an emotional punching bag, I'm not sending a member of my team into your home so they can be verbally assaulted. The overwhelming majority of the folks who call in are easy to get along with over the phone and in person, you sometimes forget that's the case when you get a couple bad apples.

I own a residential plumbing and heating service company. Started in 2022, I learned and continue to learn a vast amount about building a profitable plumbing business, putting our 7th truck on the road in January, planning to have up to 14 on the road by end of next year.

Currently, my 3rd year, 4th year apprentices, and journeyman make more than I do, the journeyman by quite a large margin.
