A free 3-minute scorecard for home service business owners. Rate your business across marketing, sales, operations, finance, and talent, and see exactly where growth is getting stuck.
Find my bottleneck15 quick questions. Instant results. No sales call required.
Revenue stalls, and the first instinct is usually "we need more leads." Sometimes that's true. More often, the leads are fine and the real leak is somewhere else: estimates that never get followed up, crews that only work when you're watching, or margins nobody's looked at since last tax season.
The scorecard checks all five areas that decide whether a trades business scales.
Do you know what a lead actually costs, and where your best ones come from?
Is your close rate tracked, and can someone besides you sell the big jobs?
Can the business run without you on every job?
Do you trust your numbers, and is cash flow predictable?
Can you hire and keep the people you need to grow?
Rate 15 statements from 1 (not like us at all) to 4 (exactly like us). Three statements each cover marketing, sales, operations, finance, and talent, the five areas Clear Results reviews first with every client.
You get a total out of 60 and a score out of 12 for each area. Your lowest score marks the constraint, the area that caps growth until it improves.
Your results end with a 90-day outline for that area. If you want help turning it into a plan for your business, book a free whiteboard session.
For owners usually doing somewhere between $2M and $10M a year, who've built something real and want to take it further without burning out.
Clear Results works with home service business owners who are ready to grow. Instead of a single consultant with one specialty, you get a team with a specialist in each of the areas measured by the scorecard.
We start with a deep dive across all five areas, then build a focused 90-day sprint around the changes with the biggest effect on profit margin, cash flow, and owner hours.
The Value Gap Scorecard scores five areas of a home service business: marketing, sales, operations, finance, and talent. You rate 3 statements per area from 1 (not like us at all) to 4 (exactly like us), so you get between 3 and 12 points per area, and the total score ranges from 15 to 60. Whichever area scores lowest is your biggest bottleneck, since a weak area caps how fast the others can grow.
Yes. The scorecard and your results are free: you'll see your score on screen as soon as you finish the 15 statements. You'll also receive a short email with your results and tips for your lowest-scoring area. Booking a whiteboard session is up to you, with no obligation to talk to us.
A whiteboard session is a free 60-minute call with Stuart Trier, our CEO, where we start from your scorecard result. Together, we pick the one area holding the business back most and sketch what the next 90 days could look like if it improved first. You leave with something to act on whether or not we ever work together.
Because the main limit on growth changes as a home service business scales, and so does the advice that fits. In the businesses we work with between $1M and $5M, $10K to $30K a month of crew capacity often goes unused (that's $120K to $360K a year). Around $3M to $5M, the owner can't manage everyone directly anymore, so the org chart becomes the limit. From $2M to $10M, pay structures such as commission can leak $100K to $500K a year. Knowing your revenue range, we can choose which of these to read your results against, so the tips you get match the business you run.
Begin with the lowest-scoring area, since that is the bottleneck. In a free whiteboard session, we turn that result into a 90-day outline. From there, you can put the plan into action with Clear Results in a 90-day sprint. After the sprint, you can continue with the Operating System, our ongoing weekly engagement.
Clear Results installs five systems in a home service business, one constraint at a time: Direction, Visibility, Profit Engine, Team Engine, and Operations Engine. Our team works inside the business every week and builds each system alongside the people who will use it, from a weekly scorecard to job-level costing to field checklists. The goal is a business that operates without the owner in it daily.
Where most home service coaching programs share a framework and check in monthly, Clear Results meets with the team every week and stays through the installation until each system works.
