Every feature, one job: no more blind calls.
ServiceScout gives every technician a short, specific read on the home and the homeowner before they knock — and gives the office an honest picture of which techs close which jobs, and why. Here is everything it does, grouped the way you'll use it.
How it works
The six steps, and the loopThe brief and the audio
The core of the product: a brief for every sales visit, built automatically, delivered before the knock.
The Scout Brief
A one-page read on the home, the homeowner and how to run the visit — built automatically about ten seconds after a job is booked, scheduled or assigned. No forms, no research.
Open →Scout Audio
A 90-second spoken version in the assigned tech's name, re-made automatically if the job is reassigned. Plays from the brief or by phone call.
Open →Before You Knock card
Opening question, three questions to ask, what to sell on, what to say if price comes up, closing question. The part techs use most.
Open →Briefs for any address
Type an address for a walk-in or referral, or upload a list for a mailer, a canvass or a storm response.
Open →Title check
If the customer name on the booking doesn't match the owner on record, the brief says so and coaches the tech on it.
Open →Badges & job tags
Priority, PACE, Veteran and Storm badges — and the tag each one writes back to the job in your software.
Open →Sales Plays and Win Conditions
Instead of asking a tech to read a page and figure out the angle, the brief names the angle: run the Trust Play; win on Peace of Mind.
Sales Plays
Six ways to run a conversation — Value, Research, Comfort, Emergency, Trust, Family — and the reporting that shows which techs win which play.
Open →Win Conditions
The one thing this homeowner most wants to be true. Reliability, Comfort, Lower Bills, Peace of Mind, Convenience, Safety or Home Value.
Open →The Trust Play
In many markets the most common play, and the one with the biggest gap between the techs who win it and the techs who don't.
Open →Delivery
Techs never have to think about where the brief is. It's in the text, in the job, or in their ear.
Brief delivery
Text, Slack, Teams, a phone call, or right on the job in ServiceTitan and Housecall Pro. Send at assignment or when the tech taps On My Way. Every send is stamped sent, opened, listened.
Open →The Dispatch board
Needs, Assigned, Sent. Manual mode while your techs learn to trust it; Assign & Send when nobody should have to touch it.
Open →Storm response
Hail, wind and heat events near every address, the Storm badge, and Bulk Upload for the streets a storm hit.
Open →Performance — proof, coaching, dispatch
ServiceScout measures one thing above all others: close rate. Briefed jobs that sold, divided by briefed jobs that actually ran. Canceled visits never count.
Close-rate reporting
Before / After on the same techs and job types, close rate by job type, by technician, by campaign, and a ranked list of techs inside every job type.
Open →Dispatch optimization
Put the right tech on the right job using close rate per job type and per play — the Dispatch Fit sheet, worked through with real numbers.
Open →Technician coaching
Close rate per play per tech. 'Work on your close rate' is useless. 'You lose Trust visits in the first two minutes' is a plan.
Open →The Morning Brief
At least three wins, at most two concerns, today's board — judged against three baselines so a bad Tuesday isn't flagged as a problem.
Open →Ask Scout
Type a question about your own data in plain English — 'who has the best close rate on replacements in the last 90 days?' — and get the answer from your real numbers.
Open →Close-rate calculator
What one point of close rate is worth to your company, in your numbers. Do it once and write it on the whiteboard.
Open →Connections, trades and trust
Whichever software you use and whichever trade you run, the rest of ServiceScout looks the same.
ServiceTitan · Housecall Pro · Jobber · JobNimbus
Connect once. ServiceScout reacts the moment a job is created, scheduled, rescheduled or marked On My Way, and writes notes and tags back carefully — added, never overwritten.
Open →HVAC · Plumbing · Roofing · Garage door · Electrical
One playbook per trade: what the brief emphasizes, the job families it recognizes, the plays you'll see most, and how to dispatch by job type in your trade.
Open →House rules & privacy
What your techs see, what customers never see, and the five things ServiceScout will never do — built into the product, not just the training.
Open →What's live, what's in test, what's coming

Questions people ask
Does ServiceScout replace my scheduling software?
No. It sits beside ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber or JobNimbus and reads from it. Booking, dispatching and invoicing stay exactly where they are. ServiceScout adds the brief, the play and the reporting.
Is the brief a script?
No. The play is a starting read. The house always wins the argument. If the brief says Comfort and the first thing the homeowner says is 'the last guy ripped us off', the tech switches to Trust — and the card tells them how.
Does the customer ever see the brief?
Never. The brief is for your team. Nothing is sent to a customer, and nothing in ServiceScout approves, denies or scores anyone.
How long does setup take?
A shop with one dispatcher and a clean tech roster can be live in a week; two weeks is typical. About two hours of hands-on work for the owner, most of it deciding which job types get briefs.
How is it priced?
Plans are priced on briefs per month, not on seats — everyone in your company can log in. Brief the visits that carry a close and filter out the ones that don't.
