    Why Employee Turnover Is One Of Your Biggest Hidden Profit Leaks with Reggie Brock

    07.09.2026 | 47 Min.
    Hidden Profit Leaks are not always about money spent wrong. Sometimes they are about the employees who walked out the door. In this episode, I sat down with Reggie Brock of Propel Your Culture. He showed me why losing good employees drains more from a business than most owners ever calculate.
    Reggie talks about building a destination business, a place people never want to leave. We walked through the real math behind employee turnover. It explains a lot about why cash disappears in my business more than I realized. If you have ever felt the weight of home service owner burnout trying to hold your team together, or wondered where the profit leaks in a home service business are actually hiding, this conversation will hit close to home.
    What You'll Learn:
    Why a $200,000 profit leak might be hiding in your turnover numbers

    How to build what Reggie calls a destination business people never want to leave

    The one exercise that gets your team to finally say what they are really thinking

    Why quiet quitting costs more than the employee who actually walks out

    How the real cost of replacing an employee compares to their full salary

    The simple shift that can send $100,000 straight back to your bottom line

    Key Moments:
    0:44 Meet Reggie Brock And Propel Your Culture
    13:46 What Is A Destination Business
    15:34 The Sea Island Story Behind The Idea
    17:06 The Trust Exercise That Rebuilds Teams
    19:18 What Employees Are Really Afraid To Say
    31:02 The Real Cost Of Losing An Employee
    33:31 Why Quiet Quitting Costs More Than You Think
    37:31 How This Shift Adds $100K To Your Bottom Line
    If you have been chasing profit leaks in home services for a while now, do not overlook your own team. Sometimes the biggest leak is not a line item at all, it is the people you have already lost.

    The Hiring Process Behind Real Labor Efficiency That Boosts Profits and Drives 94% Employee Retention with Paul Sanneman

    31.08.2026 | 45 Min.
    Labor efficiency in home services starts long before someone clocks in for their first job. It starts with who you hire and how you hire them. That is what I discussed this week with Paul Sanneman, founder of Contractor Staffing Source, a company built entirely around solving the hiring and recruiting side of home service businesses.
    Paul has personally overseen more than 5,000 hires. His system gets a 94 percent retention rate, almost double the industry average. We get into the hiring myths that quietly raise your home service labor costs. We also cover why 'hire fast' and 'fire slow' is a trap, and the exact steps that protect you from a bad hire.
    What You'll Learn:
    Why treating hiring like an afterthought quietly kills labor efficiency

    How one bad hire can cost you tens of thousands before you notice

    The myth that keeps contractors stuck hiring fast and firing slow

    Why responding to an applicant within a minute changes who you land

    How a real hiring process gets you a 94 percent retention rate

    The background check step most owners skip until it costs them

    Why onboarding takes months, not days, if you want it to work

    Key Moments:
    2:52 The 94 Percent Retention Number Behind The System
    4:24 The Hiring Myths Keeping Contractors Short Staffed
    7:34 Why It Can Take 300 Resumes To Find One Hire
    10:44 The 'Hire Fast' 'Fire Slow' Mistake
    14:11 The Job Ad Formula That Gets Applicants
    16:46 Why Responding In Real Time Wins The Best Candidates
    22:18 Why Skipping A Background Check Gets Expensive
    40:25 Paul's Hidden Profit Leak
    A weak hiring process is one of the most common operational profit leaks I see in home service businesses. It shows up in contractor labor costs, in stalled home service business growth, and eventually in home service owner burnout, doing everyone's job yourself because you cannot trust anyone else to do it yet. Paul's process is built to protect technician productivity from day one, not fix it after the fact.

    Lead Conversion For Contractors Starts With Your CSR Team With Michelle Myers

    24.08.2026 | 41 Min.
    Lead conversion for contractors starts long before a job gets scheduled. It starts the moment someone picks up your phone. My guest today is Michelle Myers from Pink Callers, an outsourced CSR company built for our industry. Michelle and I talked about why more leads won't fix your margins if your team cannot close the ones you already have.
    We got into the real numbers behind home service marketing conversion, including how many calls a good CSR should handle and when dispatching inefficiencies start costing you technicians. Michelle also shared what it actually costs when you lose a CSR too soon, and why that number is higher than most owners realize.
    What You'll Learn:
    Why lead conversion for contractors depends more on your team than your ads

    How many calls a good CSR should take before quality starts to slip

    The real cost of losing a customer service rep too soon

    When dispatching inefficiencies mean it is time to hire a second dispatcher

    What a floor coating business taught Michelle about patience with marketing

    The one habit quietly draining profit through old subscriptions

     
    Key Moments:
    0:35 Meet Michelle Myers From Pink Callers
    3:06 What Pink Callers Actually Does For Contractors
    7:58 The Real Industry Standard For Close Rate
    12:43 The Hidden Cost Of Losing A CSR
    14:28 How Many Calls A CSR Should Handle
    19:31 A Marketing Lesson From A Floor Coating Business
    24:06 When Dispatching Inefficiencies Signal It Is Time To Grow
    33:54 The Subscription Habit Quietly Draining Your Profit
    If you have been chasing more leads without fixing your estimate follow-up, this episode will change how you think about growth. Operational profit leaks like this one are quiet, but they are some of the most expensive habits in a home service business.

    Your P&L Says Profit, So Why Cash Disappears In My Business

    17.08.2026 | 27 Min.
    I get asked why cash disappears in my business more than almost any other question from home service owners. Sales go up. The bank account does not follow. That gap is what today's episode is all about.
    A few years back, I worked with an electrician who had just finished his best sales year ever. His profit and loss statement showed a real profit. His bank account told him something else. Once we separated his cash and found his hidden profit leaks, everything changed. He did not need to sell more. He just needed to keep more of what he already earned.
     
    What You'll Learn:
    Why cash disappears in my business even when the P&L says I am profitable

    How contractor cash flow management differs from just reading your profit and loss report

    The one shift that ends home service cash flow problems even in a busy season

    Why more revenue is not more profit once job costs and taxes hit your account

    How to spot hidden profit leaks before they drain your bottom line

    How using Profit First in a home service business gives every dollar a job to do

     
    Key Moments:
    1:42 The Myth That Profit Means A Healthy Bank Account
    5:27 What A Profit Plan Shows You What A P&L Cannot
    7:33 Every Dollar Needs A Job To Do
    10:24 The Electrician Who Grew Sales 30 Percent With Empty Pockets
    15:45 The Hidden Profit Leak Behind Managing From Your P&L
    17:14 Where 50 Thousand To 400 Thousand Often Leaks Out Each Year
    21:09 A Free Live Workshop On August 26th

    Beat Home Service Owner Burnout By Delegating Smarter With Chris Diroll

    10.08.2026 | 45 Min.
    Home service owner burnout usually does not start with one bad day. It builds slowly, one unanswered text and one late invoice at a time. I sat down again this week with Chris Diroll from SMA Support Services to talk about the fix most owners never try: handing real work to a real assistant.
    So many of the home service owners I coach are stuck being the one person everything runs through. Chris and I get into what that costs in real contractor profits, and how contractor cash flow management falls apart when one person is chasing every payment alone. We also cover why home service business cash leaks so often start with tasks nobody wanted to hand off in the first place.
    What You'll Learn:
    Why home service owner burnout usually starts with one small habit

    How to spot the tasks costing you the most hidden money

    The one shift that cut a contractor's collection time in half

    Why a truck buddy mindset can free up an extra hour a day

    How to know when your assistant is really part of the team

    The one profit leak most owners never think to look for

    Key Moments:
    1:11 Chris's Sales Assessment And Why He Left Selling Behind
    5:01 Why Every Contractor Hates Doing Permits
    18:09 One Team Member Cut Collection Time In Half
    19:40 The Truck Buddy Way To Delegate On The Job
    33:19 Why A Group Text Sank One VA Hire
    34:28 My Nervous First Time Hiring A VA
    38:14 This Week's Hidden Profit Leak
    Good contractor financial management is not just about knowing your numbers. It is about protecting home service business profitability long after the busy season ends, and that is exactly where Chris and I landed by the end of this one.
