Before you write
Field service work is judged on getting it right the first time, doing it safely, and keeping the customer feeling respected through the visit. Strong techs combine technical depth (diagnosing accurately, fixing durably) with customer communication (explaining without condescending, quoting transparently). Weak techs either lack the technical depth (callbacks, escalations) or the customer skill (complaints, no-request).

- upsell / quote accuracy
- CEUs and certifications obtained
