Updated Wed Nov 11 2026, 1:40 PM. He starts at Schluter in mid January.

OPEN WITH

"Angelo, congrats again, mid January is right around the corner. Tell me what you called about, then I want to hear about the job and how we keep working together."

1. SCHLUTER

What is the job exactly: title, territory, who he calls on?
What happens to Euro Plus and his crew when he starts?

2. STONE

What you need from him, and how he sources stone now.

3. WORKING TOGETHER

Can a Schluter rep steer high-end jobs to a specialist installer or an owner's rep? Is there a program for it?
Any rules for him as an employee about outside work?
Your idea from August: a specialist bathroom install line fed by his referrals; you price the work instead of bidding it.

4. ELLENVILLE AND REAL ESTATE

His father has a home in Ellenville; his cousin owns an investment property there. He cannot come this Saturday (the cousin's wedding).
You are at the passive house open day Saturday with the developer and his partner architects. Pick another date to go up together.
The house: about 1,600 sf, 3 bed, 2 bath, passive house. Selling point is health and air quality first, then energy savings. Market: second homes and work from home.
Ask: would his father or cousin want to see it with you another day? Is real estate of interest to him?

5. HOW YOU WORK NOW (if it comes up)

You built your own AI operating system: calls and texts are captured, a scheduler builds your day, and it prepped this call.
For a contractor's back office it handles the paperwork: minutes, follow-ups, submittals, reports. Field work and judgment are still people.

QUESTIONS TO ASK

What did you call me about?
What is the Schluter job, and who do you call on?
Can a rep steer a designer or architect to an installer?
What happens to your crew?
Would your father or cousin want to see the Ellenville house with me another day?

AFTER THE CALL

Tell the Scheduler what he said, or just let the call recording come through.
