Executing a Welcome Call

STEP

ACTION

1

  • Request the caller’s full name and address.

  • Confirm that the homeowner signed the financial agreement.

  • Does the customer have their EverBright financial contract available to refer to during the call?

Info

Note: The homeowner’s signature is the only one needed to complete the welcome call - it is OKAY if signatures are still pending for the installer and salesperson.

2

  • Inform the caller that the Welcome Call consists of asking a brief series of questions that will require definite affirmations (e.g., “YES”/”I AGREE”/”THAT IS CORRECT” or “NO”/”I DISAGREE”) and is to ensure that they understand the details of their solar financing agreement:

English:

“The goal of this Welcome Call is to ensure that you understand the details of your solar financing agreement.

Let’s go ahead and get started. The following questions will require an answer of either a yes or no to proceed to the next question.”

Spanish:

“El objetivo de esta llamada de bienvenida es para asegurar que usted ha entendido los detalles del acuerdo de financiamiento solar” 

“Vamos entonces a comenzar el proceso. Las siguientes preguntas van a requerir una respuesta de si o no para poder proceder a la siguiente pregunta”  

Info

Important:

  • While completing the WC, if the customer expresses, they do not know what their contract ID # is, refer them to the upper right side of any page of their contract.

  • If the customer does not agree with a WC question, please repeat the question to ensure full understanding; a “YES” response to all the questions is required to satisfy the Welcome Call task.
