Pantheon 2022 was all about the data and ServiceTitan’s newest addition Titan Intelligence (ti): AI for the Trades.
At Pantheon 2022, ServiceTitan answered one of the most popular questions home service operators ask: What should I charge for a diagnostic service call?
According to ServiceTitan’s VP of Customer Experience, Tom Howard, it’s definitely not $0. Booking rates go up when you charge something versus nothing for a diagnostic service call according to Howard.
So, what should you charge if you’re in HVAC, Plumbing, Pest Control or Electrical to increase your booking rate no matter your company size?
It is $89. You could charge less but there is no statistical difference between $1 and $89 for small companies, and anything outside of that for mid-size and large companies there is a booking rate drop between 2 and 8 percent.
This $89 diagnostic service fee insight is backed by the data collected from its over 7,500 users across multiple home services that ServiceTitan has been collecting for years.
Insights like this are just the start after ServiceTitan announced Titan Intelligence (ti).
