Margin Question
Doing profit models and I want to understand what is Good, Better, Best for Profit Margin ranges. Based on my research. 20-30 is Good, 31-40 is Better, 41-50 is best. Just want to get ideas and feedback on this. Thanks.

It is neat to play around with the numbers and build different profit models. You just have to make sure you are accounting for all the real expenses and leaving room for things you cannot predict. For example, do you provide your technicians with vans, phones, tools, fuel, insurance, training, and other benefits? Those things are great for your team, but they cost money and will affect your margins. A lot of it also comes down to what you want the business to do for you. Maybe your goal is to build a company that can consistently pay you $10,000 to $15,000 a month, pay all of its bills, take care of the team, and still keep additional profit in the business for savings and growth. If it can do all of that without you having to do everything yourself, I would take that business over one that shows a huge profit percentage on paper because the owner is doing three jobs for free. So definitely play with the numbers. Just build the model around the business and life you actually want at the end would be my suggestion. And here’s another margin worth thinking about: what about a 90–100% time freedom margin? How much of your time has the business given back to you?

Biggest Bottleneck?
What's your biggest bottleneck right now? That's the focus point.
STOP BEING THE BEST EMPLOYEE IN YOUR APPLIANCE BUSINESS
I want you to think about something for a second. If a $500,000 opportunity walked through your door tomorrow, would you actually have the time to pursue it? Imagine a property management company comes to you with hundreds of units. Or a builder wants to talk about a partnership. Maybe there's another appliance company for sale in your market, or an opportunity to expand into another location. Could you stop what you're doing and pursue it? Or would you have to say, "I don't have time. I've got six service calls tomorrow. I need to order parts. Somebody called out. I've got three customers I need to call back, and I still need to figure out the schedule for Thursday." That's the problem. Your business can be profitable and still have a major bottleneck: you. A lot of appliance business owners are really good at their jobs. They can diagnose the refrigerator, handle the upset customer, order the right part, answer the phone, schedule the route, make the sale, and solve just about every problem that comes through the door. And that's exactly why it's so easy to get trapped. Because every time something needs to be done, the fastest answer is, "I'll just do it." But eventually, being good at doing everything becomes the thing that keeps the business from growing. So here's something I want you to work on this week inside your business. Find ONE thing you're currently doing that somebody else could do at 80% of your ability. Just one. Train them. Document how it's done. Give them ownership of it. Then resist the temptation to take it back the first time they don't do it exactly like you would. The goal isn't simply to get something off your plate. The goal is to build capacity. Because here's the interesting part: what are you going to do with the time you get back? If you delegate two hours of $20-an-hour work and then spend those two hours scrolling Facebook, nothing really changed. But if you take those same two hours and pursue a property management relationship, meet with a builder, develop a commercial account, build a strategic partnership, or investigate another market, now you've exchanged lower-value activity for higher-value opportunity.
