The job, step by step
Exactly what this seat does.
This is the same step-by-step list that goes in the Canvasser employment agreement, so there's never a question about what the job is.
01Before the shift
- Know the offer by heart: a free estimate, no money down, no payments and no interest for 12 months, and gift cards to The Social Birdy and Texas Roadhouse that the Design Consultant brings to the visit.
- Know the work we're doing in the territory: the address, the trade and the start date of each active job.
- Pack door hangers and leave-behinds, water and a charged phone.
02At the door
- Smile, step back from the door, and introduce yourself: you're with Big Chief Exteriors, working on a neighbor's home on their street.
- Ask about their exterior: roof, gutters, siding, windows, doors and decks. We set exterior work only, not interior or general repairs.
- Offer the free estimate and a time from the rep's open slots.
- Book only with an owner of the home, and ask that every decision-maker be there for the visit.
- Never quote prices, promise that insurance will pay, or say anything negative about another company. You can say we'll check whether their home qualifies for coverage.
- Leave a door hanger at every home where nobody answers.
- Respect "No Soliciting" signs and every homeowner's no. Carry any solicitor permit a city requires; Big Chief gets the permit.
03Setting the appointment in RepCard
- Pick the rep's open slot, and enter the homeowner's name, phone, email, address, what they want looked at, and the best way to reach them.
- Save it as Appointment Set. The Zap creates the job in JobNimbus in Initial Inspection Set, with you as Setter and the rep as Sales Rep.
- Tell the homeowner Ellie will text a confirmation, and that the rep will bring the gift cards.
Done when: the appointment is in RepCard with every field filled, and the job shows in JobNimbus with you as Setter.
04Pin every door
- Pin each door's result in RepCard before you walk to the next one: not home, not interested, follow up, or appointment set. Unpinned doors don't count.
05Safety
- Walk on sidewalks and driveways, never across yards or past fences.
- Leave any property with an aggressive dog, and leave any situation that feels unsafe.
- Text your manager at the start and end of every shift.
06Events
- Work the home shows, partner and community events Marketing books, using the same booking and pinning steps.
