Move‑In Day Tech Guarantee — “Settle‑In: Move‑In Tech & Continuity Guarantee”
-
OPPORTUNITY NAME AND PROMISE
Settle‑In guarantees that on move‑in day (or another critical family event) the household’s essential tech works: internet, phone/VOIP, baby monitors/medical alert links, streaming for children, key smart devices, and a secure family access/backup system — or you get a partial refund plus 72‑hour on‑call remediation at no extra cost. -
EXACT BUYER AND URGENT PROBLEM
Buyer: Parents moving with young children or infants, caregivers of seniors/medically dependent family members, remote workers switching homes, and high‑anxiety families who cannot tolerate a failed move‑in tech day. Urgent problem: move‑in day tech failures (no internet, mispaired baby monitors, smart‑lock access problems) cause missed medical alerts, lost work income, stressed children, and urgent repair bills. -
CUSTOMER TRANSFORMATION
From “move‑in panic” to “everything works and is documented”: functioning Wi‑Fi with speed/coverage validated, all critical devices paired & tested, emergency access & passwords stored securely, quick failover plan (mobile hotspot + pre‑arranged ISP escalation), and a written “Move‑In Tech Certificate” for family/realtor. -
DELIVERABLES AND REMOTE FEASIBILITY
- Pre‑move tech audit & checklist (remote, 60–90 min).
- ISP activation troubleshooting + mobile hotspot failover setup (remote + possible one short onsite task).
- Pairing & testing of critical devices (baby monitors, smart locks, thermostat, cameras). Remote-first; on‑site partner if physical mounting required.
- Password vault seeded (bitwarden/1Password family), documented handoff, and a 72‑hour on‑call window post‑move.
- Written Move‑In Tech Certificate and short how‑to video.
Most work is remote automation, scripting Wi‑Fi tests, remote device pairing and training — fits your skills.
- PRICING AND UNIT ECONOMICS (CAD) — base package suggested: $1,950
- Price: $1,500–$2,500 (recommend $1,950 default).
- Variable expenses per job: password manager family plan (pro‑rated) $8; hotspot data charge if used $10–50; on‑site travel (if needed) $0–$75; insurance amortized $15. ≈ $50 variable.
- Sales time: 1.5 hours (discovery + proposal).
- Acquisition time: 1–5 days typical.
- Fulfillment time: 4–8 hours (audit, remote prep, move‑day execution, documentation). Support time (72‑hr window): 1 hour average.
- Contribution per 8‑hour day: at $1,950 and 8 hours = $1,950 gross; minus variable $50 and ~2 hours of sales overhead (~$488 allocated) → realistic contribution ≈ $1,200/day. Assumptions shown below.
