Questions to ask Scout
Copy-and-paste questions for Scout, your AI assistant, that get tables, not paragraphs. Grouped by job: finding leads, comparing areas, and working the pipeline.
Scout, your AI assistant, understands plain language, but a bit of structure gets you further. Name the trade, the place, and the time frame and you get a ranked permit table instead of a paragraph. The questions below work as written.
Morning check-in
“Who should I call first?”“Show today's hot leads”“What changed in my territory this week?”
Finding leads
“Show roofing-heavy permits filed in Burnaby this week”“Multifamily permits over $1M in the last 30 days”“SFR only, North Vancouver, this month”
One area at a time
“SFR permits in North Van, last 30 days”“Same for West Van”“Permits filed in Kelowna this month”
Follow-up questions
“Now just the multifamily ones”“Only the ones over $2M”“Draft an intro to the top three”
Working the pipeline
“What's stuck in my pipeline?”“Which deals are going cold?”“What follow-ups do I owe this week?”
If you run the branch
Scout reads the permits across your whole territory and your own pipeline. It does not read your reps' boards; that is what the Performance tab in Team Flow is for. So ask Scout about the market and the accounts, and ask Team Flow about the people.
“Multifamily permits in Kelowna this month, over $1M”“Which builders pulled more than one permit in Penticton this quarter?”“Show new builds in Vernon that are not on my watchlist”“Draft an intro to Okanagan Timberworks from our branch”
TipScout remembers your last filter, so narrow it down step by step instead of repeating the whole question. And the mic works: tap it and ask out loud from the truck.
