Understanding Lead Attribution with ServiceTitan for Scheduling Pro Clients

It's essential for businesses to understand which marketing efforts are driving the most conversions or leads.

4. Use QR Codes:
Consider adding a QR code to your technicians' business cards. When handed to a customer, technicians can suggest using this code to conveniently schedule their next appointment. Another innovative use is transforming these QR codes into equipment stickers. A QR code is scannable by a phone instead of a grocery store scanner. When someone opens their phone camera, they can scan your QR code and it will take them directly to the website you choose when creating your QR codes. And they can schedule their next appointment.
