In-home sales on an iPad: a better consultation for remodelers
Updated · 5 min read
The short answer
Using an iPad for in-home remodeling sales lets a rep measure the space, choose products with the homeowner, show a visual design and present a consistent price from the company's price book in one visit, then send the proposal or sign the contract before leaving.
What changes when the price is ready on the spot
When the rep can show selections and a price during the visit, the homeowner decides while they're engaged, instead of comparing quotes days later.
Prices also stay consistent: every rep quotes from the same price book, with discounts inside limits the owner sets.
A good consultation flow
- Ask about goals and how they use the room.
- Measure the space and capture photos.
- Choose products and options together on the iPad.
- Show a visual of the finished space.
- Present the price, options and financing.
- Sign or send the proposal before you leave.
Rolling it out to your team
Start with your catalog and price book; the app is only as good as the prices in it. Train reps with role-play appointments, then have them run real appointments alongside their old process for a week.
How TradeBurst helps
