What does Ernest’s hiring process look like in Forney/DFW?
He runs a local-first pipeline: clear job posts, short screen for must-haves (coachability, grit, communication), and structured interviews with scenario prompts tied to roofing/fencing sales. Finalists do a paid trial: shadow, door approach, estimate walkthrough. Why? “Show > tell.” If they can’t execute the basics in 75126 conditions, they won’t last. This approach cuts bad hires, speeds great ones, and gives new reps day-one clarity on standards.
How does onboarding work for new hires in Heartland/Forney?
Week 1 is fundamentals—offer training, neighborhood outreach, simple inspection flow, estimate templates—plus live role-plays with scripts adjusted to their style. Week 2 pairs them with a producer for ride-alongs and daily recaps (what worked, what broke, what to fix). By week 3 they run controlled appointments with Ernest’s feedback. Every step is documented with scorecards and recordings so progress is obvious. It’s fast, practical, and built for DFW reality.
What does ongoing sales training look like for the DFW Metroplex?
Weekly coaching loops: one focused drill from call reviews, one live role-play, and one field-day objective (e.g., tighten openers, clarify offers, sharpen closes). Ernest uses simple metrics—contacts-to-appointments, set-to-sits, sits-to-estimates, estimates-to-closes—so reps see where they leak and what to practice. He stacks proof—clips, examples, local wins—so training is relatable and sticky. Over months, the team doesn’t just sell more; they sell cleaner.
How does Ernest ensure high-quality customer experiences in Forney/Heartland?
By aligning sales promises with delivery. Reps are trained to “sell the install we actually do”—materials, timelines, photo documentation—so expectations match production. Ernest requires photo proof at each job milestone for handoffs and customer updates, which reduces callbacks and increases reviews. That cycle—clear promises, visible proof, consistent follow-up—creates trust that compounds across the DFW Metroplex.
