How Profit Max Helps You Keep More Profit
Profit Max is built around the profit on each job, so these are the features that change what you keep at the end of the year.
See Your Profit Before You Send the Quote
Profit Max allows you to enter your costs once, including labor, drive time, overhead, materials and card fees, and then shows you the profit on every quote while you build it. If a quote comes in under the minimum profit you've set, Profit Max warns you before you send it, so you can adjust the price before you've done the work instead of after.
Sell More on Every Quote
Good/Better/Best Packages allow you to put three versions of the same job on one quote, so your customer decides how much to spend instead of whether to hire you. Limited Time Offers add extra services at a discount you choose, and they can show a countdown timer that starts when your customer first opens the quote. Since you're already going to be there, every service your customer adds is extra profit with very little extra drive time.
Turn One-Time Jobs Into Recurring Revenue
Service Plans allow you to sell work that repeats on a schedule, like every three months, and bill your customer after each appointment or in equal monthly payments. Profit Max schedules the work orders and charges the card on file, so a customer who signs up once keeps bringing in profit all year.
Follow Up on Every Quote and Invoice Automatically
Profit Max follows up on every quote you send, starting the next day, and stops as soon as your customer approves or declines it. It also sends reminders on past-due invoices for about three months or until they are paid. Both come with every plan, so every quote you spend time on gets followed up, and you spend less of your week chasing payments.
