We sat down with three owners who've done it for an honest conversation about the road to $1M, and learned that there's no single lucky break. It's a stack of smart decisions on pricing, people, and routes that add up over time.

 

Watch the replay for real-world advice on:

  • Why the business gets hard around 70–110 pools, and what to build before it does
  • Tier-based pricing and points system for balancing routes
  • Tracking why customers cancel, and the process to win back home-sale accounts
  • Building a written advancement path that keeps good techs longer
  • How to lower customer acquisition cost
  • Live Q&A on hiring sites, acquisition costs, and target profit margins

Is there a link to be able to have access to the spreadsheets of the pool assessment tracking? Also where in Skimmer is Angie tracking the tier 1,2,3  and point system so it’s easily found?

@BMay - I just updated this post to link directly to Ben’s pool assessment tracker and cancellation reasons chart, and  Angie’s career advancement path (right under the presentation slide deck).

Thanks so much for putting this roundtable together! Looking back, the main thing I wish I’d systematized sooner was route balancing and tier-based pricing before reaching that 70–100 pool bump. Fantastic insights and resources, really appreciate the team sharing these templates and real-world advice
