00:00:02.303 --> 00:00:10.768

00:00:41.170 --> 00:00:43.286
Joe, how are you doing today, my brother?

00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:44.966
Man, I'm feeling great.

00:00:44.966 --> 00:00:49.423
You know, remember one of those days where you just wake up and you just feel like the sun just happened to sign on you.

00:00:49.423 --> 00:00:53.348
Yeah, it's a weird moment because as a dad that doesn't often happen.

00:00:53.348 --> 00:00:57.168
He's waking up to the sound of crying or someone woke up earlier than they needed to.

00:00:57.168 --> 00:01:01.810
But today I woke up feeling really, really, really good, which is not common.

00:01:01.810 --> 00:01:04.427
So I'm just going to say it's a great day to have a great day.

00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:05.742
Well, I love that man.

00:01:05.742 --> 00:01:06.766
I'm feeling it too.

00:01:06.887 --> 00:01:07.349
Are you a high?

00:01:07.549 --> 00:01:07.730
old num.

00:01:07.730 --> 00:01:08.724
Yeah, great energy, brother.

00:01:08.724 --> 00:01:10.084
The whole week's shaping up.

00:01:10.084 --> 00:01:10.966
I love this.

00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:26.890
We're midweek and we've got a great podcast, and this one actually is all about you can measure it, you can manage it, tie them back into our sales sanity and making sure that we in this million dollar launch are able to consistently keep going towards the finish line.

00:01:26.890 --> 00:01:39.140
We've been working hard, we've laid out our entire plan, we've shared Dan's story in this one and how that's related closely to exactly what we're doing, the exact steps we're taking, and everything's really coming together.

00:01:39.140 --> 00:01:52.027
I know we could have spent a ton of time on maintenance agreements, diving much deeper on filling the voids, and there's a ton more to it, but in our discussion, I mean, there's weeks of training around that stuff, so we kind of just got to move on.

00:01:52.027 --> 00:02:09.290
This is the best we can do in this podcast series and I think we would be making a mistake if we didn't talk about some of the measurement and management principles, some KPI, how to leverage this stuff, how to make that information then turn into data sets and knowledge that we can take action on.

00:02:10.262 --> 00:02:11.325
Would that make sense to you?

00:02:11.325 --> 00:02:18.806
I agree with that completely, because, at the same time, any marksman needs to know the need to find the target before he can fire at it.

00:02:18.806 --> 00:02:34.927
And there's a lot of times where people can often feel in paralysis, where you want to do the right things, you feel like you want to move your company forward, but you're not able to place your direction and, as a result, you end up just waddling and spinning in nowhere.

00:02:35.780 --> 00:02:37.186
Definitely, man, definitely.

00:02:37.186 --> 00:02:53.586
So there's a few areas we could really go with this, and I think my original idea was even a bit different than what I'm thinking now, because we've got a few positions working for us and I think we have an opportunity to touch on each of them a little bit, and some of the levers we might have.

00:02:54.520 --> 00:03:05.919
So, even right at the front end, with our CSR, what are some of the ways that we can really kind of measure their performance and make sure that we're able to consistently deliver?

00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:14.930
And maybe it's even in part the burning basic action from yesterday with making sure we're having 10 potential customer conversations every day.

00:03:14.930 --> 00:03:16.645
But what are your thoughts around that?

00:03:16.645 --> 00:03:21.129
Are there some areas that we can kind of leverage and measure with that CSR position?

00:03:21.771 --> 00:03:34.789
Yeah, so it depends on what your CSR is technically doing, because sometimes people will have their CSR be the office manager and they combine dispatch with CSR work, but if they're strictly a customer service representative, they're managing phones.

00:03:34.789 --> 00:03:39.790
Then you would manage the output and the inputs of what they're doing in their position.

00:03:39.790 --> 00:03:43.989
What I mean by that is we know there's a certain amount of calls coming in.

00:03:43.989 --> 00:03:47.868
Those calls, we know percentage of them are going to be done.

00:03:47.868 --> 00:03:50.187
They're calling because I think you have the utility company.

00:03:50.187 --> 00:03:51.746
They're asking you to fix their lamp.

00:03:51.746 --> 00:03:56.787
Like, okay, those aren't the right fits, yeah, but let's say 80% are.

00:03:56.787 --> 00:04:02.426
So all that 80%, how many calls were taken and how many calls were converted?

00:04:02.828 --> 00:04:03.588
Love it so call booking rate.

00:04:03.588 --> 00:04:04.669
That would be the average generation.

00:04:04.991 --> 00:04:07.514
Yeah, booking rate would be there Absolutely.

00:04:07.514 --> 00:04:11.949
Secondly is that during our process, we offer our first class pass.

00:04:11.949 --> 00:04:16.790
So then your next metric would be are you offering it to every customer?

00:04:16.790 --> 00:04:21.040
Because even though it's on the script, you'd be surprised it doesn't mean.

00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:24.069
Well, don't mention it because they are worried that it might make them seem pushy.

00:04:24.670 --> 00:04:25.190
But it's not.

00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:28.327
It's just a way of qualifying who wants different levels of service.

00:04:28.327 --> 00:04:35.915
Yeah, so one did you offer to everyone, and the second metric was how many people would take it.

00:04:35.915 --> 00:04:37.944
That's a smaller metric.

00:04:37.944 --> 00:04:48.593
Usually you only expect them from 515 percent to take your top options, so maybe as much as 30% take your first-class pass if you for some reason exceed 30%.

00:04:48.593 --> 00:05:05.600
That's really important information to know, because if too many people take the first-class pass, no one is first-class naming right and, as a result, you could have an influx of customers all at once that are trying to get that same treatment when you're not staffed properly to do so.

00:05:06.081 --> 00:05:08.850
I love that you brought up the the overselling it to.

00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:14.180
Yeah, well, it's a possibility, you know, because, if you think about it, it's something that appeals to everyone.

00:05:14.180 --> 00:05:19.913
I want my priority service, I want my after-hour service, the diagnostics wave, like all those things.

00:05:19.913 --> 00:05:23.009
Every customer would say, yeah, I'd want that.

00:05:23.009 --> 00:05:26.595
So, provided that their justification is you can get out today.

00:05:26.595 --> 00:05:27.298
Yeah, here you go.

00:05:27.298 --> 00:05:30.526
I Got to prevent too many people from taking it.

00:05:30.526 --> 00:05:32.911
Yeah, so I'm monitoring are we not selling enough of them?

00:05:32.911 --> 00:05:34.764
Are we selling too many of them?

00:05:34.944 --> 00:05:39.153
and we adjust according yeah, love that, love that man really good stuff.

00:05:39.173 --> 00:05:40.901
Yes, sir, awesome.

00:05:40.901 --> 00:05:44.230
Additionally, we want to talk about your outbound happy calls.

00:05:44.230 --> 00:05:45.762
So it's okay.

00:05:45.762 --> 00:05:48.672
How many existing customers have you contacted today?

00:05:48.672 --> 00:05:53.000
You would set a metric for it and say, like you know, you mentioned 10 incoming calls.

00:05:53.000 --> 00:06:04.574
Yeah, well, what if you set a percentage of how many calls you're going to make outbound Mm-hmm, if you have a thousand customers and you only did one a day, you still couldn't get to every one in a year you'd be there in three years later.

00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:06.547
That's to be proactive on that.

00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:08.622
Exactly so.

00:06:08.622 --> 00:06:16.906
If you said that your KPI is I'm going to make three outbound happy calls per day, you could theoretically take care of a thousand customers in one year.

00:06:16.906 --> 00:06:21.016
Mm-hmm, but provided you did that, it would be a.

00:06:21.016 --> 00:06:23.742
Did I do my outbounds B?

00:06:23.742 --> 00:06:28.494
What was the conversion ratio of accepted people who want new work?

00:06:28.494 --> 00:06:41.548
So if you make a happy call, you're not trying to sell them anything additional, but while you're talking to them, if they mentioned something that could be a value to them, you should be able to be measured and bonus by.

00:06:41.548 --> 00:06:43.132
Can you get the text foot back in the door?

00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:44.401
100%.

00:06:44.401 --> 00:06:50.240
One of my favorites on our front end even is hey, if they're also doing some of your organic marketing for you.

00:06:50.240 --> 00:07:04.372
If that person, if your CSR does oppose or engages, causes someone to come in book an appointment with you and realizes the sale, isn't that worth a bit of a home run bonus right there?

00:07:05.115 --> 00:07:08.024
I think, it would be because Be radically, that's just free money.

00:07:08.024 --> 00:07:17.569
Oh, you had a customer who didn't currently buy that you got your foot back into and now they're able to prove over the higher tier sale Because of that person's efforts.

00:07:17.569 --> 00:07:19.435
Why wouldn't you want to pay them?

00:07:20.206 --> 00:07:21.228
Love it, man, love it.

00:07:21.228 --> 00:07:23.533
So really good expression, getting the wheels turning.

00:07:23.533 --> 00:07:27.228
Now let's say, just for a moment, we'll just touch on this.

00:07:27.228 --> 00:07:32.336
Let's say, call booking rate is actually a bit lower than what we're looking for.

00:07:32.336 --> 00:07:35.725
Maybe they're shooting a dismal 30% for a couple of weeks.

00:07:35.725 --> 00:07:36.949
What are some of?

00:07:36.949 --> 00:07:40.884
Just quickly, joe is some of the areas we might look to see what's going on here.

00:07:40.884 --> 00:07:44.696
How would we leverage our information and begin to make a decision on what to improve?

00:07:45.706 --> 00:07:49.235
So the first thing is is that we would one want to monitor the call.

00:07:49.235 --> 00:07:52.651
So what we like to do is we would use an app called ring central.

00:07:52.651 --> 00:08:03.956
Granted, any kind of monitoring software you use is totally fine, but the benefit of using a recording software is you can Unobjectively look at it, either with them or without them.

00:08:03.956 --> 00:08:17.636
The reason why I say you go into recording software first is, let's say I were to come to you, clay and your rcsr, and I say, hey, I'm gonna listen to you, I'm gonna sit right next to you and I'm gonna listen to you, take your calls and I'm gonna be taking notes the entire time.

00:08:17.636 --> 00:08:20.240
You think that might affect performance, even a little bit?

00:08:20.884 --> 00:08:21.386
Absolutely.

00:08:21.386 --> 00:08:25.197
Even if I'm a clutch player, I'm going to be showing off.

00:08:25.197 --> 00:08:26.942
To an extent there's a bias here.

00:08:26.942 --> 00:08:27.764
I'm not gonna miss anything.

00:08:27.764 --> 00:08:29.891
It's just not a real scenario.

00:08:29.891 --> 00:08:31.795
It's not going to be the consistent average.

00:08:32.485 --> 00:08:32.885
Exactly.

00:08:32.885 --> 00:08:36.934
So if you were to say, okay, I have, I'm gonna use random numbers.

00:08:36.934 --> 00:08:38.618
Let's say you had those 10 calls a day.

00:08:38.618 --> 00:08:42.576
Okay, how many of those calls are you randomly selecting for inspection?

00:08:42.576 --> 00:08:48.655
So you the manager, or do the customer service manager or the operations manager?

00:08:48.655 --> 00:08:54.466
Some position that you have Requires you to now go and upkeep your staff, which is okay.

00:08:54.466 --> 00:08:57.226
Which calls are they succeeding with?

00:08:57.226 --> 00:08:58.807
Which calls Are they not?

00:08:58.807 --> 00:09:00.650
Is it a particular type of call?

00:09:00.650 --> 00:09:02.794
Is it a specific demand scenario?

00:09:02.794 --> 00:09:04.379
Is it a timeframe issue?

00:09:04.379 --> 00:09:06.489
What do we need to improve on?

00:09:06.489 --> 00:09:25.775
Yeah, after you've gone through and said what do we as a company to improve on, Then you can focus on the person themselves, because it I'm not one to throw rocks at a glass house because if they say, hey, the reason it's not going is because we don't have the availability, that doesn't sound like the CSR can suddenly drum up techs at a thin air.

00:09:26.076 --> 00:09:29.214
Yeah, so some I could do better.

00:09:29.214 --> 00:09:30.570
Love it, man.

00:09:30.570 --> 00:09:33.424
We're gonna leave the CSR there because there's so much more to cover here.

00:09:33.424 --> 00:09:40.734
Oh yeah, let's now move to the person taking running that play, then the call, the sale, the sales tech in this case.

00:09:40.734 --> 00:09:43.124
In our million dollar launch, that could be you or I.

00:09:43.124 --> 00:09:49.710
Now how would we begin to evaluate our performance in that sales process, brother?

00:09:50.912 --> 00:09:52.879
I love that you're asking this because we have a pretty.

00:09:53.630 --> 00:09:59.961
It's like I think you know the answer to this one, but realistically, it's because we have something known as a post-call fact sheet.

00:09:59.961 --> 00:10:24.118
What that means is that our process has been broken down into bullet points of the major individual levers and we're checking off after the sale or after the interaction, which of these levers did we activate, and what we'll find is that, provided they're consistently filling it out, which should be required in our KBI we then could sit down and have them turn into our service manager with yourself or me or whoever that is.

00:10:24.118 --> 00:10:31.153
That person can then see, because the system lines approach, we can see where in the call it's falling apart.

00:10:31.153 --> 00:10:34.538
Is it post-price, is it pre-price?

00:10:34.538 --> 00:10:35.693
Is that arrival?

00:10:35.693 --> 00:10:37.755
Is it when we're investigating the competition?

00:10:38.269 --> 00:10:39.936
Where does the fall apart happen?

00:10:39.936 --> 00:10:45.543
Once you recognize where the gap is, you can shore up and strengthen the defenses around it.

00:10:45.543 --> 00:10:50.934
There's a role playing exercises, there can be additional training, there can be scenario breakthroughs.

00:10:50.934 --> 00:11:00.918
Whatever it is, we need to figure out where the problem is, and without the post-call facts, it's only done off intuition, and intuition is not a good measure.

00:11:01.552 --> 00:11:02.134
Yeah, I love that.

00:11:02.134 --> 00:11:11.557
And for this role there's really kind of two levels right, because that post-call facts is like the zoomed in the process fulfillment, this little check sheet that they can do each time.

00:11:11.557 --> 00:11:13.734
But then there's also the zoomed out.

00:11:13.734 --> 00:11:16.280
Is there a need for concern here?

00:11:16.280 --> 00:11:19.739
Calls ran, calls sold, gives us a conversion rate, right.

00:11:19.739 --> 00:11:22.418
But also, what type of call was it?

00:11:22.418 --> 00:11:27.034
That's something that many companies are not tracking In our KPI workbooks we do.

00:11:27.034 --> 00:11:28.339
Was it a demand call?

00:11:28.339 --> 00:11:30.174
Was it an opportunity call?

00:11:30.174 --> 00:11:32.235
Was it an inspection or maintenance call?

00:11:32.235 --> 00:11:34.595
That's kind of important information.

00:11:34.595 --> 00:11:47.573
Obviously, having your trip charge built in diagnostic call there's a higher percentage of conversion just based on the lever that is there in saving people time and effort and sacrifice.

00:11:47.573 --> 00:11:56.474
And all I mean by that is if you're there to fix something and you give options that fix the thing, what are the chances they're going to want to start over from zero and wait for another tech?

00:11:57.669 --> 00:12:03.433
You'd have to be pretty significantly either higher than what they expected, but even then it's not always price.

00:12:03.433 --> 00:12:05.735
Do I trust this person?

00:12:05.735 --> 00:12:07.535
Do I believe what they're telling me?

00:12:07.535 --> 00:12:10.337
Do I have faith that this is the right fit to solve the problem?

00:12:10.337 --> 00:12:23.399
If you can check those three boxes which our process is meant to do, because we established that we're showing up as 10s, because it's been built through our CSR and tech process, then you should be the one who moves far with it 100%.

00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:33.320
But I'd rather have this person know that we're at least monitoring it, we're at least trying to find gaps for our own improvement, so that we can improve how we serve them.

00:12:34.022 --> 00:12:54.474
Of course, whereas if we're running opportunity calls and let's say one of us does actually, maybe we split that up and I'm doing demands and you're doing opportunities the opportunity call is likely to have a lower conversion rate just based on the fact that it's a higher percentage of people collecting multiple estimates because they're not looking to get it done today.

00:12:55.297 --> 00:12:58.096
Correct and there's no shame in someone not wanting to do it today.

00:12:58.096 --> 00:13:02.879
A lot of times, the biggest concern that contractors face is oh, they're just getting estimates.

00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:06.018
Okay, focus on why they're trying to get estimates.

00:13:06.018 --> 00:13:09.158
What are you looking to provide from someone else that you haven't already offered?

00:13:09.158 --> 00:13:12.216
Why do they feel they need to keep looking for other people?

00:13:12.216 --> 00:13:19.022
What if you could only offer them a solution and feel like you can ethically question them on it?

00:13:19.022 --> 00:13:27.679
If you can do that and you feel like you're not being pushy, then you're more likely to create the relationship required to succeed on the opportunity call.

00:13:28.490 --> 00:13:29.153
Definitely man.

00:13:29.153 --> 00:13:33.784
So I'm going to zoom us back out and say okay, demand calls ran.

00:13:33.784 --> 00:13:35.551
Number of demand calls sold.

00:13:35.551 --> 00:13:37.217
Number of opportunity calls ran.

00:13:37.217 --> 00:13:38.744
Number of opportunity calls sold.

00:13:38.744 --> 00:13:40.890
Demand call average ticket.

00:13:40.890 --> 00:13:44.337
Average options sold.

00:13:44.337 --> 00:13:46.643
Checking which options were sold.

00:13:46.990 --> 00:13:58.241
Once you have all this information for each of the type of calls, you can see pretty quickly and a spreadsheet does a wonderful job of representing this data in a single dashboard.

00:13:58.241 --> 00:14:02.659
And that's what our KPI workbook does to show you exactly where you ought to focus.

00:14:02.659 --> 00:14:08.019
For example, high conversion, low average ticket and a bunch of basic options.

00:14:08.019 --> 00:14:09.852
Where would you focus?

00:14:09.852 --> 00:14:34.014
Maybe we ought to take another look at our six options, our spread between them, make sure that there's consistent gaps, make sure that the stuff we're offering is actually speaking to the observation section and what we're presenting, and that's kind of where that post call fax can tie in and we can hyper focus on some really strong improvements just from having that information.

00:14:34.014 --> 00:14:36.739
And that's learning.

00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:40.506
I love this redefinition, If I can just throw this in here for a minute.

00:14:40.506 --> 00:14:53.948
Hormozzi said this and it really stuck with me Learning is not the text and the information you extract, or the audio that you extract and hold in our minds.

00:14:53.948 --> 00:15:14.671
Learning is the behavioral difference, given the same situation, which implies we've got to take action right, Like, in other words, knowledge isn't power, the use of it is, so without the activity right.

00:15:14.671 --> 00:15:17.017
Last thing I wanted to touch on Joe here, if we could.

00:15:17.017 --> 00:15:25.120
I think there's still a bit of a veil around installer metrics, potentially and since we brought on an installer.

00:15:25.221 --> 00:15:39.407
how would we begin to measure some of their performance and be able to have some levers there to help them stay in tune and values and get these jobs done in reasonable time and get those payments coming in so we can keep on growing this business?

00:15:40.395 --> 00:15:42.782
So there's really two different metrics that you would look at.

00:15:42.782 --> 00:15:45.918
One is the physical and the second is the relationship.

00:15:45.918 --> 00:15:48.528
So the physical is relatively straightforward.

00:15:48.528 --> 00:15:55.052
Did you perform above or below the specified amount of hours that we had allotted for this project?

00:15:55.052 --> 00:15:59.864
Did you do it above and below the material allotment for this project?

00:15:59.864 --> 00:16:03.438
That stuff is pretty straightforward, right, okay, you took an extra day.

00:16:03.438 --> 00:16:04.080
That's a problem.

00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:05.384
You finished in half a day.

00:16:05.384 --> 00:16:06.566
Great, all right, wonderful.

00:16:06.566 --> 00:16:09.221
Physical, I don't think we need to get into too much.

00:16:09.221 --> 00:16:13.099
The relationship, on the other hand, has a lot that goes into it.

00:16:13.682 --> 00:16:19.121
So I would say, as a very first metric, how many reviews are you consistently getting at the end of the process?

00:16:19.121 --> 00:16:40.399
The reason why I stress that is because, if you follow our process, you're supposed to be getting a review after every interaction and, additionally, if you're using the wording the right way, almost every customer is going to say, yeah, of course we're at your review, but when you have it in your hand, available for them, the odds of them not doing it right there is pretty low.

00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:44.052
So I would want to say, okay, at least 60%.

00:16:44.052 --> 00:16:46.220
You should be getting reviews on your jobs.

00:16:46.220 --> 00:16:49.312
If you're getting above 60%, that's great.

00:16:49.312 --> 00:16:51.921
Let's figure out by how much and what are you doing differently.

00:16:51.921 --> 00:16:53.826
Maybe we can change the process to incorporate it.

00:16:53.826 --> 00:16:58.432
If you're getting under 60%, the odds are you're not doing it wrong.

00:16:58.432 --> 00:17:00.659
The odds are you're just not doing it.

00:17:00.659 --> 00:17:02.283
That's the first lever.

00:17:02.283 --> 00:17:07.681
Additionally, I would say what options were upgraded while you were on site.

00:17:07.681 --> 00:17:15.446
We have an install upgrade process because our salesperson reviewed every option with your installer prior to them leaving the shop.

00:17:15.446 --> 00:17:21.762
So when they presented the install upgrade, there was a strong reason why the customer could do it.

00:17:22.806 --> 00:17:25.218
So you'd want to say what kind of reviews did you get?

00:17:25.218 --> 00:17:27.362
What kind of upgrades did you get?

00:17:27.362 --> 00:17:31.161
Additionally, they're doing the good neighbor policy.

00:17:31.161 --> 00:17:34.876
So if they're doing the good neighbor policy, how many reviews did they gather?

00:17:34.876 --> 00:17:36.981
Verse, how many doors did you knock on?

00:17:36.981 --> 00:17:42.902
So maybe you finished a half day early and you're knocking on the entire neighborhood.

00:17:42.902 --> 00:17:44.806
You hit 50 doors.

00:17:44.806 --> 00:17:46.517
Okay, well, I came from that.

00:17:46.517 --> 00:17:49.086
We don't know, but I know you did 50 doors.

00:17:49.086 --> 00:17:52.358
Maybe you only did three and one person answered.

00:17:52.358 --> 00:17:53.863
That's still huge.

00:17:53.863 --> 00:18:01.664
So all these metrics focus back on what can you do to strengthen the relationship and the presence in this area?

00:18:03.076 --> 00:18:03.778
And that was fire.

00:18:04.539 --> 00:18:09.307
Thank you so much I can see you're going that was fire, you know me.

00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:15.472
There's some really good stuff in there and I think we made it obvious enough.

00:18:15.472 --> 00:18:17.982
On the installer, Of course, we always got to mind the time.

00:18:17.982 --> 00:18:25.727
Here I want to just point out how this now comes full circle back to the office and office manager and the follow up calls and that follow up care.

00:18:25.727 --> 00:18:32.460
And then if we're not getting the reviews on site, how many are we then getting back on the board from the office, from the CRM?

00:18:32.460 --> 00:18:41.954
There's so much in this full loop, just like our loop method, and everything we're trying to do again in service loop is that little bit extra for future serviceability.

00:18:41.954 --> 00:18:45.891
And doesn't that tie right back into yesterday's episode?

00:18:45.891 --> 00:18:51.688
Filling the voids, caching checks and building a team on a values base.

00:18:51.688 --> 00:19:08.338
That is so important and so critical to industries everywhere to continue being able to actually have a service experience as a homeowner, have a service experience that actually serves you in your life and your growth and relationships in your community.

00:19:08.338 --> 00:19:10.105
I mean God, this stuff's important.

00:19:10.105 --> 00:19:11.650
I agree with you.

00:19:11.650 --> 00:19:14.799
100% Basic action.

00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:18.381
Can I take it by all means, Because I've got some alliteration here?

00:19:18.474 --> 00:19:20.882
The basic action today is the bottleneck.

00:19:20.882 --> 00:19:24.323
It's the recognition of the bottleneck.

00:19:24.323 --> 00:19:32.142
Ask yourself this in this million dollar launch, wherever you're at in your business, if you're following along, where is my bottleneck?

00:19:32.142 --> 00:19:33.938
Where is it?

00:19:33.938 --> 00:19:39.019
And it can't be intuition that shows you where the bottleneck is.

00:19:39.019 --> 00:19:41.895
You can't just close your eyes and meditate on it and go.

00:19:41.895 --> 00:19:42.597
I know where it is.

00:19:42.597 --> 00:19:43.019
It's here.

00:19:43.019 --> 00:19:48.720
What data do you have that's telling you where the bottleneck is?

00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:52.143
And you might actually see several.

00:19:52.143 --> 00:19:54.961
But notice the order we went in today.

00:19:54.961 --> 00:20:14.781
If your call booking rates at dismal 21%, does it make sense to go to the sales guy and crank some training up, or does it make sense to go back to where the call comes in or where the call is made and start training and refining that process and finding the lever you need to move the bottleneck to the next place?

00:20:14.781 --> 00:20:17.559
Find your bottleneck.

00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:18.663
That's the basic brother.

00:20:18.663 --> 00:20:19.759
Do you have an all star for us?

00:20:21.055 --> 00:20:25.521
You know I don't top of mind, but I'm very certain that we can work through it.

00:20:25.521 --> 00:20:35.084
Because when we're talking about trying to come up with moving the bottleneck, my next thing is going into are you trained enough to teach someone else something?

00:20:35.084 --> 00:20:41.161
What I mean by that is you're the service manager, you're the operations manager, you're the person who's overseeing this.

00:20:41.161 --> 00:20:48.340
So you're listening to how the CSR was taking their calls, but how could you do it if you yourself didn't know how to do their job?

00:20:48.340 --> 00:20:50.619
It wouldn't be a fair person.

00:20:50.619 --> 00:20:53.518
You'd be holding and comparing by script notes, and that's not gonna work.

00:20:53.518 --> 00:21:05.583
So the all star action is before you feel comfortable training someone, you should at the very least understand what their job requires and what the right way is supposed to sound like.

00:21:05.583 --> 00:21:13.579
That way, you'll have a sharper ear to notice where the gaps are and you'll also be someone who's approaching as a peer rather than just the supervisor.

00:21:14.342 --> 00:21:14.884
I love it, man.

00:21:14.884 --> 00:21:23.759
I think that ability to demonstrate that is huge in leadership, right, you can't push a string across the table and expect it to stay in a straight line, but you sure can pull one.

00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:32.920
That's gonna tie us perfectly into the next episode, which I think is due to go into some training, training schedules how we're gonna train, what we're gonna do in that, joe.

00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:37.663
But this has been another episode, a fantastic episode of Electric Purnier Secrets.

00:21:37.663 --> 00:21:51.480
I would really advise you go back again and listen to the Electricians podcast today, because this one was huge on our mission to help you guys master sales, simplify pricing and deliver premium level electrical service in this million dollar launch.

00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:53.038
We'll see you again tomorrow.

00:21:53.921 --> 00:21:54.683
Look forward to seeing you guys.

00:21:54.683 --> 00:21:55.077
Be well.
