Making the transition from service/install technician to service/install manager is difficult... in fact, most people don't succeed and end up as a service/install technician again...at another company. Other companies hire an "experienced" service/install manager and find he can't manage your service/install department. This is very expensive in terms of morale, training costs, and continuity in a service/install department.

The irony is that most service/install technicians want to be service/install managers. Then why don't most succeed? Because the skills needed to be a successful service/install technician are not the same as those skills needed to be a successful service/install manager.

Service/Install Manager's Survival School was developed to teach the skills necessary to become and continue to be a good service/install manager.

This two-day, information-packed class introduces you to new ways to approaching the management of your service/install department.

You Won't Be Bored Sitting In Class

Each day vital customer service, financial, and technician management issues are discussed in an interactive setting. By the end of the two days you will have an understanding of pricing, handling service/install technician praise and problems, as well as making sure that customers are kept happy.

For instance, did you know that...

• Overtime to a 20 year old service/install technician is usually considered punishment...
• Overtime to a 45 year old service/install technician is usually a reward?

Service/Install Manager's Survival School teaches you how to supervise these very different types of people. You'll learn how to ensure that they are both productive members of your team.

This Is a HOW-TO-DO Program,
Not a WHAT-TO-DO Program

If you've ever sat in a class and been told what to do and then sent on your way...
I promise you'll experience something different in this class.

Exercises, homework, and role playing different scenarios in a non-threatening environment is a part of each day's activities. Role play prepares you for typical situations that you are likely to encounter so you can learn to react the right way before the actual situation occurs.

Homework is assigned. It includes reading and exercises that reinforce what was learned in class.

Here’s why you come to
Profit and Wealth:

"Before I heard of you I used every other formula in the world, including Richard Harshaw and Harlan Krepcik, then you came along and I use your stuff. And thanks to you I started making money."

Dispatchers can make or break the profitability of your service department. They must keep your customers happy profitably, keep your technicians happy and productive, while keeping a smile on their face. Dispatch is one of the most stressful and difficult jobs to perform well.

Now you can get the procedures that help you keep a happy, productive dispatcher without having to travel to an on-site dispatcher class.

Your Dispatcher On-Line Program gives your dispatchers the tools they need to increase billable hours, take better care of customers and themselves, and help run a profitable field department.

Who Is This Course For?

• ▶ This course is appropriate for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, generator, and other in-home services where companies dispatch field employees to business or residential locations.
• ▶ Your Dispatcher On-Line Program is self-paced – 21 videos, one personality profile, role plays, and a manual.
• ▶ You receive scripts and audio recordings of the scripts.
• ▶ The scripts and audio recordings of those scripts give dispatchers the templates on how to talk with customers and handle every day dispatch duties.
• ▶ There are residential and commercial scripts – each is handled differently.
• ▶ Edit these scripts for your unique company culture. The audio scripts are a sample of how telephone conversations should go.

There Is A One-Time, One Company Investment...

If your dispatcher leaves and you have to train a new one – the only additional cost is $25 for the new dispatcher’s personality profile.

If you have one, two, or more dispatchers – you never have to pay more.

If you want to review the manual and videos – you can – year after year with no additional cost.

Many times, relatives are recruited to "do the books" without understanding bookkeeping.

Or you hire a bookkeeper who really doesn't know bookkeeping.

If this is true for your company:

• ▶ Your books are probably inaccurate.
• ▶ You probably pay more taxes than you should.
• ▶ You never look at a P&L or Ballance Sheet because you know they are wrong.
• ▶ You don't know how much cash you really have.
• ▶ You don't know whether your company is really profitable.
• ▶ ... and many more problems.

If your wife, mother, sister, or anyone who doesn't really understand what actually happens when they enter information into your QuickBooks, Sage, or other accounting software ... then this course is for them (and you).

Contractor Bookkeeping Basics helps your bookkeeper:

1. Discover the rules for debits and credits
2. Create an accurate chart of accounts
3. Find out what is happening behind the scenes when information is entered into your accounting software
4. Identify and avoid the most common bookkeeping mistakes
5. Produce accurate financial statements

After completing this course, your bookkeeper won't make common mistakes, meaning that your financial statements are more accurate.

Accurate financial statements help you spot minor issues before they become major crises and make better business decisions.

This is a Contractor Bookkeeping Course

It covers bookkeeping procedures for:

• ▶ Plumbing
• ▶ Heating
• ▶ Air Conditioning
• ▶ Electrical
• ▶ Other service, project, and replacement contracting companies

This course also includes these other issues unique to contractors:

• ▶ Labor
• ▶ Materials
• ▶ Equipment
• ▶ Inventory
• ▶ Other issues unique to contractors

It does not include new construction accounting (work in progress, over- and under-billing, etc.) or bookkeeping for other types of businesses.

This is NOT a Financial Analysis Course

It focuses solely on the day-to-day bookkeeping activities that are critical to preparing accurate financial statements.

Your bookkeeper's responsibility is to prepare accurate, timely financial statements and give them to you, the owners/managers, to analyze.

(If you want a financial analysis course, enroll in" Building Profit and Wealth" or "Make Your Financial Statements Fun and Sexy").

This is NOT a course on how to use QuickBooks or any other specific accounting system. It covers bookkeeping, period ... not how to apply bookkeeping to an accounting system.

• Help if needed. After watching the sessions and doing the homework for that session, if you have questions - call us or email us any time.

Course Specifics:

• ▶ You receive the bookkeeping manual - this is the manual we use during the sessions. Do the homework and you'll be ready for the next session.
• ▶ Each session covers one topic - The homework for that session reinforces what you discovered as well as gives you the tools to use in your daily bookkeeping work.
• ▶ Get a suggested chart of accounts to use. Make sure your accounting software has the proper accounts so you can enter data in the correct accounts ... producing accurate financial statements.
• ▶ Receive "101 Dumb Financial Mistakes Business Owners Make" - my book which reveals many bookkeeping mistakes I know your bookkeeper won't make after completing this course.

Pre- and Post-Test Your Bookkeeper

• ▶ When you enroll your bookkeeper in this course, we will email you the bookkeeping test and answers created by the AIPBA - American Institute of Professional Bookkeepers.
• ▶ This is your bookkeeper's pre-course score.
• ▶ Sixty (60) days after you enroll your bookkeeper, we will send you the post course test and answers. You can see the progress that your bookkeeper made and which, if any, sessions need to be repeated.
• ▶ Or course, if your bookkeeper finishes the course in less than 60 days, email us (rking@ontheribbon.com) and we will email you the post-test and answers.

• ▶ They didn’t like the technician who visited their home or office.
• ▶ They didn’t feel comfortable with the person on the telephone.

Your field or office employee never knew he or she did something wrong. But, he or she did…in the eyes of the customer!

MY DOUBLE GUARANTEE

I look forward to helping you increase your cash, customers, and profits.

P. S. Enroll today and be prepared to dramatically increase your commercial maintenance customers.

With the events of the Corona Virus (COVID-19), my clients who have built a strong maintenance base are doing much better than those contractors who have few maintenance customers. Now, more than ever, it is time to start and build a thriving residential maintenance system.

Many contractors tell me:

• ▶ They don't know where to start building a maintenance program, or
• ▶ They are stuck at a couple hundred agreements, or
• ▶ They need a system to exponentially grow their maintenance plans, or
• ▶ They renew less than 80% of their maintenance plans.

If this is you, now you can get the easy steps to profitably save at least $1 million in cash within 10 years. And, do it quickly with my proven program.

Imagine never having to worry about having enough cash. No more wondering about how to meet payroll, how to fund a new truck, or how to survive when most of the businesses are shut down and travel is restricted.

Imagine having less seasonality and more consistent cash flow.

Imagine a thriving, growing, loyal customer base.

How do you do it? With my proven maintenance growth plan. Maintenance agreements are essential for a stable, profitable HVAC company. Dramatically increase your residential planned maintenance agreement (PMA) enrollments using a proven, systematic process.

Does this work?

The national average for maintenance agreement enrollments is 30%. With this program, the average residential enrollment rate is 43% to 45%. However, some contractors who have followed this program have achieved more than a 70% enrollment rate.

Expected Outcomes:

• ▶ You increase your maintenance base by a minimum of 100 new maintenance clients a year. (If you are starting with no maintenance agreements, then you should generate a minimum of 100 maintenance agreements this year).
• ▶ This means you could generate at least an additional 6 to 8 system replacements and at least $18,000 to $36,000 in additional service work this year.
• ▶ You start building a savings account which helps you get through slower times and eliminates the need for a bank line of credit.
• ▶ You build increased customer loyalty, decreased seasonality, and increased cash flow.
• ▶ You take what you learn in this program and apply it year after year to build a thriving, profitable business and a healthy cash balance in your savings account.
