Stage 1
Your stage 1 plan: getting started.
Sales $0 to $250k. Get the foundation right now, before growth breaks it.
This is you if
Sound familiar?
- I want to attract clients who value quality over cheaper prices
- I want to price jobs profitably and account for drive time
- I work part-time on my business and aim to grow fast
- I need to manage my time better to balance work and growth
Three moves for this stage
Get your numbers right before you get bigger.
Each one is doable this week. Do them in order.
Know your real hourly cost
Add up a month of truck, fuel, insurance, tools, phone, software and your own pay. Divide by the hours you actually bill, not the hours you work. That number is your floor.
Price every job from that floor
Hours on site plus drive time, times your cost, plus the margin you decided on. Write the margin down. Stop matching the guy down the street.
Keep one calendar a week ahead
Every job on it by the Friday before. If Monday is empty on Friday, that is your sales task for the weekend.
