The reverse-engineering math: profit target to required revenue, average ticket, close rate, lead volume, and tech count
The pre-hire test that catches ego purchases before they wreck your margin
The speed-to-lead numbers that decide your close rate, including the 62 percent vs. 28 percent gap between fast and average responders (ServiceTitan)
The cash reserve rule that decides whether growth mode is even on the table
The existing-customer multiplier, and why new customers cost 5 to 25 times more than the ones you already have (Bain & Company)
