For example, if your county has a population of 204,000 people, your monthly charge to be the Our Town Appliance Authorized Local Service Provider would be $450:
$250 for the monthly platform access fee and $200 for your monthly lead subscription.
Utilizing our pricing structure, you should always get at least the Diagnostic Charge on your first visit to a house. This is important for maintaining cash flow.
You will find that the labor pricing using our pricing structure will usually fall between $50 to $90 dollars. Let's use $75 as a good average dollar amount for a labor charge.
Using these figures, you will usually walk away with an average of $160 in total labor charges for each completed repair. And obviously, that's not figuring any profit from your part installs.
Let's dig into this a little deeper and look at some numbers. Most appliance service companies charge between $75 to $95 for their initial fee. A few are more. Some are less. Let's use $85 as a good average dollar amount for a Diagnostic Charge.
Let's just keep it super conservative here. Is it so hard to imagine that this program could generate 3-5 calls a week? If you didn't think so you wouldn't still be reading this page.
Imagine 12-20 calls a month being plugged into the figures above.
You're looking at a conservative $1500 to $2800 monthly gross labor profit in that scenario.
After this program has been in place in your area for several months 10-15 calls a week is not unrealistic, at a monthly gross labor profit of $6000 to $9000.
And remember, your monthly cost does not go up as the number of service calls goes up. You are on a flat rate monthly cost!
Just 3 average calls a month will cover the entire cost of the program in this scenario.
OK, here comes the disclaimer. Any profit or lead number figures you see here are not guaranteed, they are only used for illustration purposes.
But are they really far-fetched? I don't think so.
Just remember that the purpose of this program is not to be your sole source of service calls every month, but to a provide a base of calls that can provide some stability and help to maintain an adequate cash flow. We have been in the appliance service industry for a long time, and one of the hardest parts of it is the cyclical nature of the industry. Some weeks you're running just to keep up, and the next week you are wondering if your phones are broken because the calls just aren't coming in. This was designed in large part to help this issue.
