One year now..

[Mikey P]

Since my last visit to Santa Cruz to see my Daughter and BFF, my Mom, my Connoisseur, friends, clients, the sea, the redwoods, the oaks and ferns, the endless vegan dining choices, the fog, the trails that I lived for, the memories and...

 

[Mikey P]

the hustle, the homeless, the traffic, the trash, the graffiti, the animosity, the crime, the rent of it all.....

 

[BIG WOOD]

I don't see how anyone can be a successful business owner in that state. How'd you do it?

 

[FB7777]

Matt is right

Apple has been on the brink of bankruptcy for decades

 

[Mikey P]

I was successfully frustrated as time went on and every element got worse.

My daughter's on the only logical track left in California, provide exceptional over the top service and charge like crazy.

Her one and only tech is on track to do 400k with a $775 job average this year by himself with no WD or rug plant.

 

[Mikey P]

His story is Key Noteable....

 

[Mikey P]

Keep in mind, he's been watching from behind the scenes for 6 or so years, but just got on the truck the middle of last year.

He spent time with myself, Davis and Ely and took Pemberton's course and came to one MFest.

Which is like $142k and $174 job average in Nebraska

Which would also be exceptional..

I'm hurt deeply......
You never introduced us.....

 

[hogjowl]

I can understand that

I can understand that

Christmas is over.....so bite me curly tail.......

Cost of living in CA vs my AZ is 3x’s.

I like visiting CA but wouldn’t want to live there again.

either way that tech has done really well.

this can look very good but what are his responsibilities?

As O/O’s don’t always have their weaknesses staffed and so end up wearing to many hats and are very inefficient at what they/we do.

if everyone was able to just focus on what they’re best at that really translates into more dollars

Keeps his breath minty fresh.

and maintains the fleet.

He’s a super star salesman too I’m sure

 

[Mikey P]

Possibly, he isn't really upselling in the traditional sense.

Can you please elaborate ?

Sounds like he’s generating work vs just being supplied with work. Have you seen a difference in customer retention by him being the lead tech in the field?

Even better than being great at SELLING something

is being able to make someone want to BUY it.

 

[Mikey P]

Scruz type jobs are large enough that there is no time or need to do the typical "while I'm here would you like me to..." game


He's charging enough to spend the time with tarps, corner guards, detailed invoices, dry strokes etc



To early to tell on retention.

I'm sure we'll lose plenty of DINKS who cant see spending $750 to clean a 3/2.

Same thing. Great salespeople identify the need and help solve one’s problems with the appropriate solution.

I personally try to sell by serving.

Does he have carte blanche over pricing and does he have autonomy to handle customers the way he wants?

to me it sounds like you folks have done a great job with systems and good personnel.

we had a unicorn working for us till he grew friggin wings and became a Pegasus and flew away

Pretty much.

(unless he marries Monique )


..L.T.A.

So is Davis out of the game now?

The Scruz game anyways.
