Part 8 – Improved Efficiency

Efficiency is secondary to immediate profits

Our pricing system based upon customers retention levels demonstrated in your consumer study can “cover a multitude of efficiency sins” and turn you into a 22% profit company in 120 days  

The biggest mistake owners make is waiting for efficiency improvements to increase profits rather than using the price tool

On a good day….. Running a contracting company is sort of like trying to put up a tent in a windstorm, like “whack a mole “no sooner is one problem fixed and then another pops up.

Yup, plan for the worst and hope for the best.

Once we get your profits up to 22%:

let’s take a look at CSR and Tech closing rates , average tickets , conversions from tune ups to replacements , the % of service agreements sold , cost of direct labor ,

And overhead. Then we might be able to even lower prices to increase retention.

To do this first … before raising profits … really means there is a 90%+ chance you will miss the profit goal
