Fix habits, not just vehicles.” 🧠

No surprises = more trust = more jobs. 💸

✅ Fix: Smile first, speak calm.

> “Good words grease every deal.” 😄

Tone creates loyalty faster than tools!

❌ 4. No Follow-Up

✅ Fix: After 5–7 days, WhatsApp 👉

Data helps you remind customers when their battery service is due.
