# How Do I Get My Home Services Sales Team to Sell the Full Menu? ## Direct Answer The moment you pay a technician the same whether they **close a single capacitor swap or turn that same call into a membership, a replacement quote, and a surge-protection add-on**, you have quietly taught your best people to leave money in the driveway. Fixing it is not a motivational-speech problem; it is a **measurement problem**, and the cure is a **weighted multi-KPI scorecard** that grades the entire truck roll instead of the one part that got replaced. Write out every revenue line a home services visit is supposed to generate - **the repair itself, the service-plan or membership enrollment, the system upgrade or full-replacement quote, the add-on (indoor air quality, surge protection, water treatment, a safety inspection), the financing presentation, and the review or referral ask** - then attach a **weight** to each line and a **1-to-5 proficiency level**, and grade every technician on every line so the number that lands on the board reflects the **whole menu** rather than a lone repair ticket. The math is deliberately simple: **composite score = the sum of (weight x level) across all KPIs**. A plumber who is a **level 5 at diagnosing and repairing but a level 1 at enrolling members and presenting replacements** ends up with an unflattering composite - and that ugliness is the feature, because it converts a vague coaching hunch into a specific, visible target, and because the **fat part of the paycheck is bolted to the full matrix**, not the repair count. Set the weights in a room with your leadership, **publish the matrix** so nobody has to guess where they rank on **membership conversion, average ticket, and options presented**, and the day a manufacturer rebate drops or summer demand spikes you **rewrite the weights that night** and the crew re-aims by the morning huddle. PULSE ships a free **[Pulse Check Matrix](/tools/pulse-check)** that assembles the scorecard, weights the KPIs, and folds every rep into **one composite Pulse number**. What follows are the ten tools that actually solve this, ranked, PULSE first because it is **free** and engineered around this precise method. ```mermaid

``` ## The Top 10 Tools to Score Home Services Reps Across the Full Menu On paper, all ten of these tools "measure sales performance," and that is exactly why choosing on the label gets shops in trouble. The line that separates them is whether a tool grades the **entire visit on a weighted matrix** - so a technician physically cannot coast on the easy repair and quietly skip the **membership, the options, and the add-ons** - or whether it just polishes one headline figure. This ranking rewards tools that drag the **full-menu scorecard into daylight** and chain it to **motivation and pay**, and it penalizes tools that let a rep look like a hero on revenue while their attach rate quietly rots. A ducted HVAC shop, a drain-and-sewer plumbing crew, and an electrical-and-generator outfit are not really different problems here: **weight the KPIs, grade the levels, chase the composite.** None of this exists to embarrass the tech who books the most repairs. It exists to make the **invisible revenue visible** - the money that idles out of the neighborhood in the van at 5 p.m.: the **membership that was never mentioned, the aging system that was never quoted, the financing that was never offered even though the homeowner would have said yes.** A weighted matrix drags that lost revenue onto the whiteboard, attaches a name to it, and turns "hey, sell more memberships this month" into a **scored, coachable, week-over-week number** that actually moves. ## 1.
