Review the appointment

Use an authorized recording or an approved practice conversation. Assess only what you can observe. Keep the advisor's perspective and the next coaching action part of the review.

Review one appointment. Choose one action.

This is a manual coaching worksheet, not a product score or industry benchmark. Mark what you observed; leave the rest unscored.

Notes stay in this page until you leave or reset it. Do not enter customer names, addresses, or other personal information. Export only if you want to keep your work.

Understand the homeowner’s priorities

Did the advisor ask what matters and confirm they understood?

Explain the findings clearly

Were observations explained in language the homeowner could follow?

Connect options to those priorities

Did the advisor explain the relevant choices and trade-offs?

Invite questions and check understanding

Was there room for the homeowner to ask questions without pressure?

Agree on the next step

Did both people understand what would happen next?

Start with what you observed.

0 of 5 criteria rated. 5 left unscored. Unobserved criteria do not count as failures.

Each observed criterion has equal weight: 0, 1 or 2 points. Use the notes and conversation context, not the percentage alone, to guide coaching.

Start with evidence you can locate

Listen to the surrounding conversation before selecting an assessment. Ask whether the criterion fits the appointment and whether the recording contains enough information to judge it.

If you cannot hear the relevant exchange, leave it unobserved. If a criterion does not fit the visit, exclude it from your interpretation. Neither situation proves the advisor failed to do the work.

What to examine in a replacement consultation
Review areaEvidence to look for
Homeowner prioritiesThe advisor asks what matters to the homeowner and checks their understanding.
Explanation of findingsThe advisor explains the supported finding and acknowledges what remains uncertain.
Suitable optionsThe explanation connects appropriate options to the customer's concerns and makes scope differences understandable.
Customer concernsThe advisor explores the question before deciding how to respond.
Agreed next stepThe conversation confirms the customer's choice and any welcome follow-up.

Use the summary to open the debrief

For each applicable criterion you can assess, enter 0 for not demonstrated, 1 for partly demonstrated or 2 for demonstrated. Leave not observed or not applicable unscored. The summary adds those points and divides by the maximum points for rated criteria; each criterion has equal weight.

The count of criteria rated tells you how much of the rubric you assessed. The points percentage tells you how you rated those criteria. Neither predicts a sale, ranks your team against others or measures technical competence.

Choose the criterion that would make the most useful coaching discussion. Ask the advisor what they heard, note any missing context, and agree a behavior to practice in a later appropriate appointment.

Practice scenario: the homeowner wants another quote

Suppose a homeowner asks for another quote after hearing the options. Review whether the advisor asked what the customer wanted to compare. If the recording contains no answer, record that uncertainty rather than inventing a price objection.

A practice action could be to ask a neutral clarifying question before explaining the proposal again. Use a later conversation to review whether the question was appropriate and whether the advisor listened to the answer.

Know what this tool measures

This is a manual educational rubric for a residential replacement conversation. Adapt it with a qualified practitioner to your company's expectations. The tool does not analyze audio or reproduce Cash's product scoring algorithm.

Cash's product workflow supports recorded-conversation analysis, company playbook scores and transcript/audio review. You can explore that workflow after using the scorecard to clarify what your manager wants to discuss.

QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING

Before you decide.

Should an unobserved item get the lowest score?
No. Missing or inapplicable evidence should not be treated as failure. Review the context with the advisor before deciding what the conversation supports.
Is the summary an industry benchmark?
No. It summarizes the assessments entered in this tool. There is no customer cohort, performance benchmark or close-probability model behind it.
Can I use this as a plumbing scorecard?
This rubric is framed for HVAC replacement consultations. A plumbing service conversation needs expectations appropriate to its role and scope. Start with the coaching-plan worksheet and qualified trade review.
