This one’s for the techs, leads, ops folks, even owners.
Whether you're running routes or managing accounts, you've seen the same thing:
- Miscommunication between sales and service
- Unclear expectations from the customer
- Gaps in what gets promised vs. what’s possible
This isn’t a “blame” post — it’s a bridge post.
A thread I saw recently put it perfectly:
“Techs are the face the customer remembers. But we’re often sent in with no context, no rapport, and an uphill battle.”
So let’s use this space right:
- What’s something you wish sales knew about your day-to-day?
- Or, if you're in sales — what’s something you wish techs understood about your role?
