Nobody sends you a $175,000 invoice for an empty bay [PODCAST]
"I can't afford to recruit right now."
I've heard this from dozens of shop owners over the years.
And every single one of them would fix a broken lift the same week.
But an empty bay? They'll let that sit for a year.
Same lift. Same lost production. But because nobody sends you an invoice for an empty bay, it doesn't feel real.
Until you see the number.
Hunt Demarest — CPA, author of Beyond the Bays — ran the math across his client base. An empty bay costs roughly $175,000 a year. Not in revenue. In GROSS PROFIT DOLLARS out of your pocket.
I just went back on Hunt's podcast Business by the Numbers for a second time.
I'm the first returning guest he's ever had by-the-way😎
We got into:
→ Why one A-tech narrowed her search to six shops — and exactly what the winning shop did that the other five didn't
→ The reason every ChatGPT-written job ad looks identical to every other ad on Indeed (and what that's actually costing you)
→ What most shops get dead wrong in the two weeks between an accepted offer and a toolbox drop
→ Something I announced publicly for the first time
If you've got an empty bay right now — or you're one Friday afternoon conversation away from one — this is the episode you need to watch.👇
