Pre-Entry Setup

⏱️ 30 Minutes Before Inspector Arrives

The first impression is impeccable.

The Introduction

⏱️ First 5 Minutes

Establish authority and professionalism immediately.

🗣️ The Greeting

"Welcome. Thank you for your time. For your safety, please grab a hard hat and vest."

🗣️ Frame the Tour

"We have a very controlled site plan. I've mapped our inspection route here (Point to →). Our process is driven by safety and systematic liquidation, which we track in real-time on this Progress Tracker."

Pro-Tip: Use their name often. It shows you're prepared and builds rapport.

The Controlled Walk-Through

⏱️ Mid-Tour

Keep pace moving, pause at key points to deliver planned statements.

Location Action / Script
CLEARED ZONE (C) "This is the outcome of our Phase 1 liquidation. As you can see, we are systematically turning chaos into capital and achieving a true blank canvas. Our Tracker shows we're 25% complete."
HAZARD ZONE (H) "As our Phase 1 assessment indicated, we have a structural issue here. The area is sealed off. We have [Contractor Name] scheduled, and the permit for repair is being expedited. Safety is our priority until the repair is complete."
ELECTRICAL PANEL (P) "This is the main disconnect. We have [Electrician Name/Company], a licensed master electrician, prepared to conduct the necessary safety and repair work. We've isolated the system and cleared the area for immediate access."

The Ask

⏱️ Near the Electrical Panel

Deliver your request calmly, connecting it to safety and the next phase.

🗣️ The Full Ask

"To safely and efficiently complete the necessary electrical work—and to allow our contractors clear visibility on the main floor—we need to request approval to energize the critical overhead safety lighting. We are ready to submit the required permits and documentation for [Electrician Name] as soon as we have your preliminary approval."

Pro-Tip: Do NOT ask "Can we turn on the lights?" Ask for permission to activate "critical safety lighting." It sounds less like convenience, more like necessity.
