✅ 82 jobs
✅ $1370 average ticket
✅ 43% close rate
Started taking deposits in January and then really started pushing it in July.
Had 3 cash jobs off the books that's why there's a little difference in the totals.

Thinking about buying a new truck (to me). My 2013 dodge ram 1500 is on its last leg, 170k miles
Tons of electrical issues, no heat/AC
Truck I’m looking at: 2013 Ford F350 Super Duty 6.7
1 owner, 96k miles, diesel, 8ft bed, mint. $35k
Any gear heads on here?

We had zero Google Reviews on Oct. 25th
To fix that, we setup a Markate text automation to send to all of our clients 1 hour after their invoice has been paid
Looks legit, looks random, doesn’t send right after they pay cause everyone knows that’s BS and not “personalized”

for this juice
"Don't have a monetary goal"
Have a weekly/monthly incentive goal
ex: put out 100 yard signs a week, cold call 500 people a week, go walk into 20 small businesses a week
You do those things and you'll kill the monetary goal you set in your head

Cons of doing weekend only: any slight inconvenience can throw off your schedule and then you’re doing night installs
Pros of doing weekend only: if you do have to do night installs, you get to see your work and how excited the client is

Having an electrician you can call and get out within 1-2 days is a major advantage
