Most business owners are always asking for more leads. What if I told you there are so many leads hidden with inside the business that you're already doing? Let's take a look at some metrics. Year to date, so through almost six months of business, internally we have generated 900 referral appointments and that is cross trade. So an HVAC tech goes out to a job and the customer needs a plumber or an electrician and vice versa all across there. 900 jobs equating to almost a million dollars in revenue found within our customer base. What are you doing to maximize your customer base with the services that you offer?

Here’s the fastest way to know if you’re making money or just staying busy: know your three numbers. 50% gross profit. 35% overhead. 15% profit. If you can’t say where you stand on each right now, that’s the first problem to fix.
If I could only track five numbers in my HVAC sales department, it would be: revenue per lead, close rate, average install revenue, discount rate, and revenue to budget. Most owners track none of them daily and then wonder why the month got away from them. Measure every day and the numbers stop surprising you.
If your tech left for $2 more an hour, money wasn't the problem. The problem is there was nothing else keeping them. Techs spend most days working on their own. If the money's right, it's the one-on-ones, the organizational support, the daily encouragement that keeps them here. A small raise can't outbid a place people actually want to work and feel supported.
This is where we build technicians from scratch. Zero experience walks in, and electricians, plumbers, and HVAC pros walk out. Everything in this lab is functional. They can tear it apart, we can plant faults, and they can fail safely here instead of in a customer’s home.
