Just because you’ve been there before doesn’t mean the process changes.
In this episode of Windshield Time, Chris Elmore and James “J-Dub” Walker break down the common trap techs fall into with returning customers—skipping steps, rushing intros, and assuming too much.
Inside This Episode:

- Adapt your intro without losing professionalism or control
- Balance familiarity with structure for a better customer experience

- Ask instead of assume, and elevate repeat visits with small details

- PRESS PLAY adaptations for return visits
- The “ERR” framework: Empathize, Reassure, Redirect
