WRONG CUSTOMERS

More leads are bringing more headaches.

Not every lead is worth having. The wrong customers take time from better work, squeeze profit and wear out the team.

What owners say

  • “We are busy, but not with the work we want.”
  • “The customers that take the most time are not the most profitable.”
  • “We get more leads and the business does not feel healthier.”

Why it costs you

Wrong customers can make the business look busy while profit, service and morale get worse.

Ask this first

If you could clone your best ten customers, what makes them different?

Start here

  1. Define the customers you would choose again.
  2. Compare profit and hassle, not just revenue.
  3. Find where low-fit leads come from.
  4. Change the offer and screening before buying more leads.

Check the rest before you spend.
