Key Takeaways

✦

A missed CSR call costs as much as a technician walking away with a zero β€” coach and measure phone-booking performance, not just in-field conversion.

✦

The Freedom Framework starts with knowing your numbers: ticket average, fixed costs, and margins. You can't grow what you don't measure.

✦

Invest in your people and equipment β€” better pay and newer trucks attract and retain the technicians who drive growth.

✦

Use Net Promoter Score and how employees and customers view your company as the real barometer of business health.

✦

The biggest execution gap owners face is coachability β€” the willingness to take feedback and execute the direction given.

✦

ServiceTitan lets you control costs, margins, and even PPC bidding so you can outmaneuver competitors who bid against you.

✦

Meet business owners where they are β€” from brand-new startups to high-level operators β€” with coaching tailored to their stage (garagedoorfreedom.com).
