While GPS came in and changed the way we navigate our way around town it wasn’t enough to change the way we plan our day. Inefficient driving routes are a major contributor to income loss when it comes to Mobile Service Companies.
Maintaining efficient driving routes is about laying out your boundaries. It’s about limiting your customer’s access to you until it fits with your schedule. Showing them every available time slot on your calendar and then telling them to ‘Choose one’ will be the death of your day. This will crush your profits and you waste away your day driving all over town to get from one job to another.
Stack your appointments together by geography. Not by customer preference. Know when to say ‘No’. Remember, telling a customer that you cannot serve them on a certain day doesn’t make you look terrible or unorganized. It makes you look like you are in high demand.
