Here's what came up in forty minutes — written up properly, as promised.

Marcus, this is everything we walked through — the kitchen-table quoting, the 230 unchased quotes, Tracy's Mondays. Have a read with Kelly before Tuesday 3:30pm.

What we heard on our call

These are the patterns we picked up — in your own words.

Every quote goes through you

15–20 quotes a week, 2+ hours each for commercial — 12–15 hours of evenings and Saturday mornings, because the pricing logic lives only in your head.

“This is the thing that's killing me, honestly. Every quote goes through me. Every single one.”

230 quotes, never chased

Quotes sit in simPRO marked “sent” with no follow-up — 230 in pending over the last 12 months. At your $8K average job, that's recoverable work you already paid yourself to quote.

“Even ten of those landing is eighty grand of work we just never asked for again.”

Two to three days of silence on new enquiries

30–40 enquiries a month land in a shared inbox Tracy checks when she can. At least two jobs a month lost to speed — and a property manager relationship is 40–50 jobs a year, not one.

“If a property manager has an urgent job and you don't answer in a couple of hours, they just go down the list to the next sparky.”

Tracy is your integration layer

Property manager emails re-typed into simPRO (15–20/week), simPRO jobs re-entered into Xero, and paper timesheets re-keyed every Monday — half of them wrong, so job costing can't be trusted.

“Tracy spends literally her whole Monday typing them into the system.”

Your biggest operational drain right now

12 hrs/wk × 1 person (you) × $150/hr × 52 weeks
$7,800/month
of your time lost to doing every quote yourself — $93,600 a year, at the floor of your own $150–200/hr valuation
“Mate, it's my whole evening. Every evening. I get home, have dinner with the kids, and then I'm at the kitchen table from eight till ten thirty doing quotes. Saturday mornings too.”

And that's one of eight leaks we flagged on the call — alongside the 230 unchased quotes (~$80K), jobs lost to slow response, the hand-built schedule, Tracy's Mondays, and $2–3K/month of unbilled variations.

What happens when you inject a system behind a team

Flawless Gardens & Landscaping — Sydney’s Northern Beaches

We audited their entire operation and found they were running everything through Excel, phone calls, and Outlook — no CRM, no system for tracking leads or follow-up times, and zero visibility over their pipeline. Here’s what changed.
