Mastering Your Finances: Key Tips for Trades and HVAC Businesses w/ Randy Stanbury

In this episode of Service Business Mastery, Tersh and Josh interview Randy Stanbury to tackle a common hurdle faced by business owners – understanding their financials. Randy is the founder of “4 Level Coach” and former founder of Service Freight Systems, Randy reveals that a staggering 98% of business owners lack an understanding of their financial metrics, leaving them without a clear direction.

To overcome this, he stresses the importance of regularly reviewing financial statements like the Profit and Loss statement and balance sheet. Additionally, tracking industry-specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), such as billable hours and labor burden, is essential for service businesses.

Moreover, Randy advocates for pricing services based on the value they bring rather than adhering to market standards. By mastering financial insights and aligning pricing with value, business owners can ensure profitability and sustainable growth.

Tune in for valuable strategies and insights to help your business thrive and make informed decisions for lasting service business mastery and success.
