How much is your team leaving on the table?

Enter your numbers on the right. See exactly what a 10% improvement in close rate is worth to your shop — per month, per year, per tech.

Most service managers know their close rate is not where it should be. What they don't know is the exact dollar figure that represents — per tech, per month, every month that nothing changes.

The math is simple. If a tech goes on 20 calls a week, closes 40% of them, and the average job is $800 — they're closing 8 jobs a week. If their close rate improved to 50%, that's 10 jobs. The extra 2 jobs at $800 is $1,600 a week per tech. Over a year that's $83,200 per tech — from a 10-point improvement in close rate.

Why close rate is the highest-leverage number in your shop

Most service managers focus on call volume — more calls in, more revenue out. That's not wrong, but it's the expensive way to grow. More calls means more marketing spend, more dispatchers, more vehicles, more fuel. It scales linearly with cost.

Close rate is different. A 10-point improvement in close rate on your existing call volume costs you nothing in additional overhead. The leads are already coming in. The trucks are already on the road. The only thing that changes is what happens when the tech is standing in the homeowner's living room.

Close rate improvement is the highest-ROI investment available to a home service company — because the infrastructure is already paid for. You're just capturing more of what you've already built.

What actually moves close rate

The techs who close most consistently aren't naturally better salespeople. They've been in the hard conversations more times. They've heard "that's too expensive" enough times that they know exactly what to say without having to think about it. They've handled "I need to talk to my spouse" enough times that they can tell the difference between a real objection and a polite exit before it costs them the job.

The difference between a 40% closer and a 50% closer is almost never technical knowledge. It's comfort and confidence under pressure — and those are buildable skills. They just require reps.
