What must a Home Improvement Salesperson disclose to a potential client?

A Home Improvement Salesperson is required to disclose any direct or indirect ownership interest in the contracting business to a potential client because this information is critical for transparency and ensures that the client is fully informed about any potential conflicts of interest. Full disclosure helps to build trust between the salesperson and the client, allowing the client to make an educated decision about their contracting needs.

Having an ownership interest may influence the salesperson's recommendations and the way they conduct business, so the client should be aware of these connections. This disclosure is mandated by regulations and helps maintain ethical standards within the home improvement industry.

While awards, sales performance, and testimonials may provide valuable context about the salesperson's experience and success, they do not hold the same weight in terms of legal obligation and transparency as disclosing ownership interests.
