You Don’t Have a Lead Problem You Have a Follow-Up System Problem
You’re not losing jobs to competitors you’re losing them in your follow-up.

Just returned from the Masters of Home Service Podcast with Adam and we broke down something every contractors pain point... Most of us think our pricing problem is about charging more. But in reality, it’s about not knowing where the leak is. That’s why I built the Pricing Blueprint Worksheet, it forces you to look at every category inside your business: Is your hourly cost set right? Is your team milking jobs or burning hours? Is your overhead eating too much of your margin? Are your profit targets too low? Or are you just lost trying to figure out where it all goes? When you separate these categories, you finally see where your money ends up. You’ll know if it’s a labor problem, an overhead problem, or a leadership problem. This is exactly what we talked about on the podcast, that transition from employee mindset to owner mindset. Thank you Jobber Team for the opportunity. Here is the sheet we went over and let me know your thoughts.We’re In Q3 — How Are Your 2025 Goals Holding Up?
