Champion Service Partners is currently building a Handyman Network similar to Home Service Freedom and Nextar. Right now, our industry has nothing specifically designed for the uniqueness and variety that we encounter each day. We are asking for YOUR INPUT to develop the network that you always wished you had.. now is your chance to speak up! It will include things like best practices, SOP templates, Vendor Discounts, Masterminds, In person events.. While we are developing it YOU each have a say as well.. What would be the most valuable part of the network that would have the largest impact on your business? If there is ANYTHING you want to see go into this please don't be shy.. comment down below.

As you scale your business beyond yourself, you have to watch things a lot closer in order to avoid some key mistakes that could cost you big time. Here are three MAJOR things to focus on and have dialed in before you start scaling your business. 1. Protect the gross margin. Inefficiencies as a solo operator really just take away time.. when you have 3-5 vans on the road it starts bleeding money quickly. We target a 65% gross margin for each job (this should be tracked in a job cost template) 2. Cash Flow (HUGE) This is where payment structure, payroll structure and operational drag need to be super dialed. When jobs drag on and payment isn’t strategically coming in, you can have great revenue and not make payroll all at the same time. (Net 30 terms, payout terms, deposits and collections) all super important to work in your favor 3. Scope Control Making sure the handoff is super clean and detailed. Whoever estimates the job needs to ensure a 5th grader can read, understand, and perform the task the exact way they would if they’d seen it in person and bid it themselves. This can get sloppy quick. Hope that helps, those likely will be some of the main things to be cautious of forever no matter how big you get. But when you’re still small simple mistakes can shut you down.

I should not be thinking about this cause trying to have a weekend away as a family but we lost 2 flat pack sales this week due to our minimum call out fee. I asked if there were any other items on the todo list we could take care of or anything they are thinking about in the future. Anyone treating these as a loss leader to get in the home? Would love some collective thoughts. Losing these quick easy ones always gets me but not too sure what to do about it

What goes along with hiring? 1. Onboarding 2. Training 3. Documenting 4. Managing 5. Consistent check ins 6. Performance Plans 7. Payroll processing 8. Pay structures 9. Insurance increases 10. Benefits So my question is this. When someone tells you to hire an office manager, or a VA, or a technician... do you take into consideration everything else that goes into making that hire successful? I think one of the hardest positions to be in is working in the field and trying to hire so you can get out of the field. That transition in my opinion is the single hardest ceiling to breakthrough. If your'e in this position you're not alone, and I have a solution
