Just because you've been there before doesn't mean the process changes.
In this episode of Windshield Time, Chris Elmore and James "J-Dub" Walker break down the common trap techs fall into with returning customers—skipping steps, rushing intros, and assuming too much.
You'll learn how to:
Because familiarity doesn't excuse laziness—it demands excellence.
-Adapt your intro without losing professionalism or control
-Balance familiarity with structure for a better customer experience

-Stay consistent—even when the customer knows your name
-Ask instead of assume, and elevate repeat visits with small details
