3. Roles & Responsibilities

4. Step-by-Step Procedure

Phase 1: Preparation

• Configure the intake form with the property address: [__________].
• Ensure the "Price Perception" field is included to gauge market alignment.
• Print [__________] copies of the physical evaluation form if no digital kiosk is available.
• Verify that all pens/devices are functional at the designated entry station.

Phase 2: Data Collection

• Greet visitors and provide the [Company Name] evaluation form.
• Direct visitors to the primary exit point where the collection box is located.
• Ensure the following mandatory fields are completed by the visitor:
  • Overall Impression (Scale 1-10)
  • Likelihood to submit an offer
  • Specific feature likes/dislikes
  • Contact information for follow-up

Phase 3: Post-Event Analysis

• Aggregate all responses into the [Master Tracking Spreadsheet].
• Calculate the average sentiment score for the property.
• Identify recurring negative patterns (e.g., "too dark," "needs paint").
• Provide a summary report to [Client Name] by [Day of Week].

5. Quality Assurance, Pro-Tips, and Pitfalls

• Quality Assurance: Verify that 100% of visitor contact details are legible before the visitor departs the premises.
• Pro-Tip: Include a "What is your favorite feature?" question to identify the primary selling point for future marketing copy.
• Common Pitfall: Overloading the form. Keep the evaluation to under 10 questions to ensure high completion rates. Avoid asking for sensitive financial information.

6. FAQs

Q: Should I require visitors to provide their names? A: Yes, if the goal is lead generation. If the goal is strictly property feedback for the owner, remain anonymous to encourage higher participation rates.

Q: How long should I keep these records? A: Maintain records for the duration of the listing period plus 30 days post-closing or withdrawal to support post-mortem analysis.
