Matt, Can You Explain the Form Method?


In this edition of "HVAC Skill Builder," Matt explains the Form Method.

Q: Can You Explain the Form Method? A: Yes, the form method is FORM and that the F is going to be for family, the O is going to be for occupation, R is for recreational activities, and M is for material possessions and basically if you employ this method, this is a good way to start building rapport with customers when you're on site. So for example, if you see a family picture in their home and they have kids, you can say, oh, that's a great picture, I have two kids myself. It's just a great way to start breaking the ice with the customers and build that rapport with them so they trust you during that service call.
