The Real Cost

Emergency service calls cost $400-800 per lead. When your untrained tech fumbles the sticker shock conversation, you don't just lose the sale—you lose the $3,500 IAQ upsell AND the service agreement renewal. One bad call can cost $16,000+ in lifetime value.

The Transformation

Week 1 vs Week 4 with GhostRep

See exactly what changes when your hvac reps practice with AI before facing real customers.

Scenario: Homeowner gasps at $12,000 system replacement cost

Before GhostRep

"Yeah, prices have gone up a lot. I can maybe talk to my manager about a discount..."

Customer loses confidence, deal stalls
After GhostRep

"I completely understand that reaction. Here's what most homeowners don't realize: a system bought in 2010 for $6,000 would be $9,500 today just from inflation alone. But this new system is 40% more efficient—you'll save $150-200 a month on energy. Over 10 years, the efficiency savings actually make this cheaper than repairing your old unit. Want me to show you the math?"

Customer sees value beyond price, closes same-day

Scenario: Customer says heat pumps dont work in cold weather

Before GhostRep

"Well, they work okay down to like 30 degrees or so..."

Customer loses confidence, deal stalls
After GhostRep

"That was true 20 years ago, but modern heat pumps are completely different. The Carrier system I'm recommending works efficiently down to -13 degrees—that's colder than we've seen here in decades. Plus, we include a gas backup for those rare extreme days. You get the energy savings 90% of the time with the reliability of gas when you really need it."

Customer educated on modern technology, upgrades to heat pump

Scenario: Tech finishing AC replacement, hasnt mentioned air quality

Before GhostRep

"[Leaves without mentioning IAQ] 'Okay, you're all set. Here's your warranty info.'"

Customer loses confidence, deal stalls
After GhostRep

"Before I wrap up—while I was in the attic, I noticed significant dust accumulation in your ductwork. With your new efficient system, you'll be moving that air through your home faster. Most customers add a whole-home air purifier for about $1,200, which catches 99% of particles. With allergies in the house, it makes a real difference. Want me to show you what I found?"

$3,500 IAQ add-on closed, customer thanks tech for mentioning it

Your reps practice these exact scenarios 30-50 times before ever facing a real customer.

Equipment FailureEmergency summer replacement call

Homeowner

My AC just died and it's 98 degrees. I need something TODAY.

Untrained Rep

Let me see what I can do... I'll have to check availability...

GhostRep-Trained Response

I understand how uncomfortable that is—we'll get you cooling today. I have a crew available this afternoon. While they prep, let me show you two options: a like-for-like replacement, and a high-efficiency system that costs $2,000 more but saves you $1,800 a year in energy. Which would you like to hear about first?

The Emergency Call Playbook

Turn Every No-Cool Call Into Revenue

It's 98 degrees. The AC just died. Your tech has one shot to close a $12K+ sale. Here's how we prepare them.

Sticker Shock Mastery

Days 1-3

"$12,000?! My last system was $6,000!" Your tech practices this exact conversation 30+ times. They learn to reframe price as value: efficiency savings, warranty protection, comfort improvements. By day 3, sticker shock doesn't phase them.

Inflation reframingEfficiency ROI mathRepair vs replaceFinancing presentations

IAQ Revenue Unlocked

Days 4-6

Most techs skip IAQ because they don't know how to bring it up. Your tech practices the exact moment and language: "While I was in your attic, I noticed..." They learn to present air quality solutions naturally, not as an add-on sales pitch.

Heat Pump Confidence

Days 7-10

"Heat pumps don't work in cold weather" is the #1 myth killing heat pump sales. Your tech practices explaining modern dual-fuel systems, efficiency ratings, and rebate stacking until they can overcome any misconception with confidence.
