Getting Your Handyman Techs to Actually Use the App
Start With Why
Tell techs what's in it for them: no calls for gate codes, no paper, the list in hand, fewer evening texts.
Ride Along Once
Spend one morning in the truck. Do two jobs together in the app.
A Few Firm Rules
- Photos before and after.
- Hours and materials before Complete.
- Skips always have a reason.
Make the Old Way Harder
Stop texting lists and codes. If it's not on the job, it doesn't exist.
Praise Good Use
Point out good notes and photos in front of the crew.
