Here’s a simple checklist for using your Diamond Certified brochures and status on the phone to increase your wins (if you qualify).</p><p><strong><a href="https://dcr-apis.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/wp_contents/uploads/2021/05/brochure.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignright size-full wp-image-427952" height="79" loading="lazy" src="https://dcr-apis.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/wp_contents/uploads/2021/05/brochure.jpg" width="124"/></a>Use Your Diamond Certified Brochures<br/></strong><u></u></p><ul><li><u>Use your brochures with shoppers to prove quality and turn more into good margin buyers</u>. Remember, you may be helping a “sold” family member sell her spouse on your company by showing your brochure.</li><li><u>Hand your brochures to regular customers to improve retention and increase the number of referrals </u>you receive.</li><li>Have your technicians <u>hand a brochure to each customer during service to reduce customer nervousness</u>.</li></ul><p><strong><a href="https://dcr-apis.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/wp_contents/uploads/2021/05/phone.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignright size-full wp-image-427951" height="94" loading="lazy" src="https://dcr-apis.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/wp_contents/uploads/2021/05/phone.jpg" width="70"/></a></strong></p><p><strong>Use Your Diamond Certified Status on the Phone<br/></strong></p><ul><li>Use the Diamond Certified phone script to <u>set better appointments with fewer cancels</u> and get prospective customers ready to buy before you meet.</li><li>Use Diamond Certified <u>within your voicemail message so people will feel </u><span style="text-decoration: underline;">that, even tho</span><u>ugh they didn’t reach you live, they’ve called the “right” place</u>. They’ll be more likely to leave a message and wait for your call back.</li></ul></div>
