If an installer requests a 3-way call with the homeowner to complete WC, gather initial information such as installer’s name & organization, homeowner name, and homeowner’s property address for the WC. Complete homeowner authentication once the homeowner is on the actual call. Important: It is okay to follow the traditional welcome call path if the homeowner would prefer a traditional welcome call. At the end of the call, please use the disposition - WC Complete - DWC refused. | ||
A homeowner/cosigner is calling Support to complete their WC. |

It is also okay to follow the traditional welcome call process if the homeowner expresses difficulty with completing the welcome checklist online or would prefer a traditional welcome call.
