Episode notes
The Early Cash-Cycle Roller Coaster
- Bradley and Logan describe the emotional roller coaster of repeatedly solving cash crunches as projects re-priced and warranty work emerged.
- They eventually climbed out only after transforming the business mix toward maintenance and cleaning up billing and credit processes.
Productize Your Service First
- Productize your service into a narrow, repeatable offering with standard contracts and visit schedules.
- Selling a standardized product makes delivery scalable, reduces customization churn, and raises long-term value.
Hire Sales After You Know Your Target
- Identify your ideal customer before hiring sales and hand salespeople prioritized target lists of high-value prospects.
- Incentivize bounties for top targets and drill pitches with role-play to raise conversion rates.
