A guide for independent businesses: review the scope and make your own decision.

Standards for accepted Go Werks Pro work orders

Independent Service Partners control their lawful methods and business operations. When a partner accepts a Go Werks Pro work order, it also accepts the customer-facing, property-protection, communication, safety, documentation, and result standards stated for that order.

Customer care standards before arrival

At the property

Communication

Partners should communicate facts without making unauthorized promises about price, scope, warranties, refunds, or unrelated work. A changed condition or customer request outside the accepted work order must be documented and approved before additional work begins. Emergencies, suspected hazards, damage, security events, and customer complaints require prompt escalation through the designated channel.

Customer care standards at completion

The partner should perform the agreed scope to a professional result, remove service debris, restore the work area, and complete required photos, notes, readings, checklists, or sign-off. If an agreed outcome cannot be achieved, the partner should explain why and document a technically sound recommendation.

Business independence

These standards define the result and customer experience for accepted work. They do not prescribe the partner’s internal schedule, staffing model, sequence of lawful methods, employment practices, or work for other customers. The partner remains responsible for its personnel, tools, insurance, licenses, permits, taxes, and business decisions.

What do customer care standards cover?

Customer care standards describe the agreed property experience: preparation, respectful access, clear communication and documented completion. They apply to accepted work orders while independent businesses retain responsibility for their lawful methods, people and equipment.

A practical handoff checklist

  1. Confirm the scope. Compare the requested outcome with the accepted work order before arriving. Record unanswered questions for the designated contact.
  2. Respect the setting. Confirm access instructions and any occupied areas that need additional care. Keep customer information within the agreed communication channel.
  3. Record an exception. Explain what changed, how it affects the accepted result and what clarification is needed. Avoid treating silence as approval for added work.
  4. Close the loop. Provide the completion evidence specified for the work order and identify any unresolved condition.

These four checkpoints help organize a conversation; they do not replace the accepted scope. An independent business keeps its own name, logo and appropriate professional workwear when representing itself at a property. A customer should understand which business is performing the work and who to contact about the agreed result.

Prepare before accepting

Review how the independent partner pathway works and the business-readiness resources. WERKS CREW identifies WHO brings the skill; WERKS EXCHANGE describes WORK and opportunity review. Sample matches do not replace a written scope or confirm live availability.

For broader planning, consult the U.S. Small Business Administration business-management guide. Use the partner-interest form to introduce your company, and the designated work-order channel for an active service concern.

Customer care standards: common questions

Do these standards replace my business identity?

No. Independent partners retain their business names, logos and appropriate workwear. The standards describe the customer experience and agreed result of an accepted work order.

What if the customer requests additional work?

Document the changed request and obtain approval through the designated work-order channel before starting additional work. Clarify any effect on scope, price and completion requirements.

What should completion records include?

Use the evidence required by the accepted work order, such as notes, photos, readings, checklists or sign-off. Identify unresolved conditions and avoid including unrelated personal information.

Put customer care standards into practice

Consider a work order where access instructions change on the day of service. Confirm the revised arrangement through the designated contact, explain any effect on the agreed timing and record the decision with the job details. Your business still chooses its lawful methods and manages its people. Customer care standards help keep the requested outcome, property access and customer communication clear while that adjustment is resolved.
