What happens in this episode
A delighted customer pays, tips and drives off. Marcus never hears from her again. DIAL books the next one before the van door closes.
- Marcus finishes a car, the customer is thrilled, she tips him well.
- He packs up and says to reach out any time she needs him again.
- Weeks pass. Then months. She does not reach out.
- DIAL explains that any time is not a date, and a customer with no date on the calendar is a customer you have to win twice.
- The next appointment gets booked in the driveway, before Marcus leaves.

DIAL’s tip
Book the next one before you leave the driveway. Any time you need me is not a booking, it is a hope.
Copy and paste this:
Most [car] owners come back around the eight-week mark. Want me to hold [date] now? I will text you two days before to confirm.
