Home Services Automations

Three times a year (at the start of cooling season, heating season, and the spring tune-up window) this automation sends a targeted outreach campaign to every customer who hasn't booked service in the past 12 months, with a time-sensitive seasonal offer. Customers who have booked in the past six months receive a loyalty acknowledgment and a referral incentive instead. The campaign launches automatically on the right date every year without the owner having to remember to set it up, and results are tracked against the campaign automatically so ROI is measured rather than guessed.

Tools Required

Each evening, this automation reviews the next day's job schedule across all technicians, flags any scheduling conflicts or double-bookings, calculates estimated drive time between jobs using mapping data, and delivers a pre-built morning briefing to each technician with their job list in priority order, including customer name, address, job type, and notes from previous visits. The dispatcher starts the day with a clean, organized schedule instead of rebuilding it from scratch at 7 a.m. when the first technician calls to ask where they're going.

Tools Required

Every time a quote is marked won or lost in the CRM, the estimator is prompted to log the outcome with a reason code and (for lost quotes) the competitor's price if known. The system aggregates win rates by job type, price range, and competitor over time, and delivers a monthly analysis showing exactly where the estimator is winning, where they're losing, and at what price points the market is moving. Estimating decisions shift from gut feel to data, and pricing adjustments are made based on what the market is actually doing rather than what anyone assumes.

Tools Required

When a new technician is hired, this automation generates a 30-day onboarding checklist (safety training, equipment certifications, ride-along schedule, and tool issuance) with tasks assigned to both the manager and the new hire. As each item is completed, it is logged with a timestamp. Certifications that expire (EPA 608, NATE, manufacturer product certifications) are tracked with renewal reminders sent to both the technician and manager 60 and 14 days before expiration. No technician goes into the field uncertified because a renewal date slipped past someone's awareness.

Tools Required

Thirty days before a customer's annual maintenance plan expires, this automation triggers a renewal sequence: a personalized email with the customer's service history and plan benefits, a follow-up text from the service manager, and (for customers who don't renew) a final "last chance" offer with a small discount. Lapsed plan customers also receive a re-engagement sequence tied to seasonal tune-up reminders, turning one-time jobs into recurring revenue relationships.
