- Creating an emotional connection and earning the customer’s trust should happen before presenting solutions.
- Giving customers multiple options can create a better buying experience than presenting a single recommendation.
- AI can improve efficiency, but there are still parts of the customer experience where human connection creates the “wow” factor.
Who is Brigham Dickinson?
Welcome back to the Change Your Filter podcast! In Season 3, Episode 5, Scott Ossim sits down with Brigham Dickinson of Power Selling Pros to talk about customer service, technician sales, and the skills that help home service companies turn more calls into loyal customers.
Brigham has spent years developing sales and customer-service frameworks specifically for the home services industry, with a focus on helping CSRs and technicians communicate better, build trust, and create stronger customer experiences.
What to Expect
In this episode, Brigham shares how early failures helped lead to the creation of a proven framework for improving HVAC sales and customer communication.
Scott and Brigham break down the importance of the first few moments of a customer call, including how CSRs can handle price shoppers without immediately losing the opportunity. They also discuss why the goal shouldn’t simply be getting the appointment, but creating enough trust that the homeowner feels comfortable making your company their final call.
The conversation then shifts to the technician experience and why so many technicians struggle with the idea of being a salesperson. Brigham explains how technicians can approach the conversation differently by focusing on connection, discovery, education, and presenting options instead of pushing a sale.
You’ll also hear Brigham walk through practical tools technicians can use in the home, from building an emotional connection and earning the customer tour to inspecting the system, presenting multiple solutions, and simply getting on base instead of trying to hit a home run every time.
Scott and Brigham also explore the growing role of AI-powered CSRs and where automation can help, along with the moments where a real person can still create a level of trust, follow-up, and customer care that technology has difficulty replicating.
