A Spanish-speaking sales rep can carry a demo flawlessly in English training and then freeze at the kitchen table when the homeowner in front of him speaks only Spanish. That gap, the one between what a rep learned in an English-language script and what he actually needs to say in a Spanish-speaking household, is where … Read more
Every home improvement contractor has one, whether they admit it or not: a graveyard of leads sitting inside the CRM. Estimates that went cold.
