Start with the available tools
ServiceTitan documents a Follow Up screen for unsold estimates and related opportunities. The practical question is how the shop configures and uses its tools. Review existing features before recommending another system.
Follow one record
Ask: “If the advisor is off tomorrow, can another person see what the customer asked, what was answered, and what is due next?” Walk through the actual record with the people who use it. Check permissions, responsibility, and where updates are entered.
Design around the next decision
A handoff should contain enough context to take the agreed action without retelling the whole visit. Use a small set of fields, supported by the customer’s wording and a readable history. Confirm that the receiving person knows the work is theirs.
Editorial correction
An earlier version of this note broadly claimed that field service software had no place for certain opportunities. That claim was too broad. Available features vary, and the existence of a field is separate from whether the operating process uses it well.
