Micro-Bookings: Convert Hesitant Callers with 15‑Minute 'Micro-Service' Offers

Many callers aren’t ready to commit to a full service visit — they want reassurance, a price sense, or a quick check. In this episode Jeff shows how to design a 15‑minute micro-service (diagnostic, safety check, small fix) that converts fence-sitters, reduces shopping behavior, and creates an easy booking path you can staff within existing routes. You’ll get a simple framework for choosing the right micro-offers, pricing them to protect margin, scripting the phone intake to present the micro-option, and creating route slots that don’t disrupt dispatch. Practical examples for plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and roofing contractors make the idea concrete. The episode ends with two ready-to-use phone scripts and a short checklist to launch in a week.
