Neglecting Loyal Customers Is Your Biggest Profit Leak with Kenny Ridgell

from Profitable Home Services Podcast · host Diane Gardner

The customers you already have are ready to hand you money, and most home service owners are walking right past it. Kenny Ridgell from Ridge Media joined me on the show to talk about where the real profit leak is hiding in your business. He told me about a client with around 1,500 active maintenance contracts who was only running about 500 visits a year, leaving roughly $60,000 in mostly pure profit sitting on the table from the other 1,000 customers who never got called. That kind of money sitting unclaimed is exactly where Sneaky Leaky loves to hang out. Kenny shares how to follow up with your loyal customers the right way, why your technicians are the most powerful sales tool you have, and how a few small systems can keep that profit in your pocket instead of letting it slip away.   What You'll Learn… Why your loyal customers are the cheapest source of new revenue you have The simple math that proves your maintenance contracts are sitting on hidden profit How to arm your technicians for cross-selling without turning them into salespeople Why the wrong tech in the wrong seat is quietly costing you thousands per visit What most home service owners get wrong about following up with loyal customers How tracking the right numbers tells you which 50% of your marketing is actually working The surprising profit leaks hiding in your billing, your parts house trips, and your apparel closet Key Moments… 1:05 The Biggest Profit Leak Hiding In Your Marketing Spend 9:23 Why Loyal Customers Are Cheaper Than Chasing New Leads 10:39 The Realtor Stat That Will Change How You Follow Up 14:57 The Battery Trick That Built Wildly Loyal Customers 16:13 Putting The Right Tech In The Right Seat For More Profit 29:41 The Hidden Cost Of Tech Trips Back To The Parts House 39:22 The Credit Card And Manual Billing Leaks Most Owners Ignore 🎧 Listen to all episodes at https://profitablehomeservices.com/ 🤝 Connect with Kenny at https://ridgemediallc.com/ ACCESS SOME FREE RESOURCES TO BOOST YOUR PROFITS  15 Profit Leaks Report 📖 Spot the common places where money slips out of a service business and learn the fixes that keep more cash with you. https://profitcoach4you.com/profitleaks Profit Impact Call ☎️ Get a live review of your numbers so you can see where profit is leaking and walk away with a plan to save thousands.  https://taxcoach4you.com/profitimpactcall/
