1

Missed After Hours Calls

Emergency callouts are your bread and butter. But when you're up a ladder or driving home, missed calls go straight to voicemail and often never get returned. That's lost jobs worth hundreds each week.

2

Quoting on the Fly

You eyeball a job and scribble a quote on scrap paper. Later you can't read your own writing or you forget to add the after hours surcharge. Inaccurate quotes mean either you lose the job or you work for less than you should.

3

Chasing Invoice Payments

Spending 20 minutes every Friday ringing clients about overdue invoices adds up. That's time you could be on a paying job. Meanwhile, your cashflow sits in someone else's bank account.

4

Double Handling Job Details

The customer calls, you jot down the address, then later type it into your calendar. Then again into your invoicing system. Each double handle costs 5 minutes and multiplies across every job.

5

Letting Leads Go Cold

You get a call about a switchboard upgrade. You say you'll call back tomorrow. But tomorrow comes and the lead is cold. They've called someone else. That's a $1000 job gone.

6

Wasting Time on Admin

Filing paperwork, sending reminders, updating spreadsheets. All that admin eats into your billable hours. Each hour spent on admin could be an hour on the tools earning $100 or more.

7

Not Following Up on Recurring Work

You did a great job for a commercial client six months ago. But you never set a reminder to check in for the annual test and tag. They hire someone else out of habit. Lose the recurring revenue.
