shop in America. Least the people that I talk to are asking, you know, how do I get more leads and Google's getting more expensive and how do I do all of these things? What is the mistake that ProBook is looking to help with? You can get a lot out of your hundred leads or however many leads you're starting with and one of the big outcomes that ProBook helps drive is actually making as much money as possible out of those leads by being smart about how we work those leads. You know, once we've kind of got the lead into our business, there's a lot of surface area left to really, really maximize that lead but also there's a lot of surface areas to screw up with that lead and so everyone knows ProBook as the dispatch software and that's really, you know, where we got started and specifically what we started doing was we call it right-tech right call. You've got a certain opportunity that's, you know, maybe aged, maybe it's an IAQ opportunity, maybe the customer could use a whole home repipe, maybe they could use any water heater and you can do a lot by putting the right technician on said call based on your historical data and so we could actually see historically who the right tech is to maximize a given lead and assign them there and so that's kind of like been the primary way historically we've helped folks get more out of the leads that they already have.

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.
