Note sull'episodio
Every technician snaps gauge photos and calls it documentation - but if your customer can't understand the findings, you haven't done your job. Patrick Summers breaks down how to communicate findings in plain language, use AI to write customer-facing summaries, and document in a way that builds trust, wins approvals, and holds up in court.
