Pricing Profit Leak Checklist PDF
A contractor pricing checklist for spotting underpriced jobs, bad markup, weak deposits, scope creep, callbacks, and lead sources that look busy but drain profit.
Owner preview
Who it is for
Trade owners who are booking work but still feel squeezed by labor overruns, material creep, callbacks, slow collections, or lead sources that only look profitable on the surface.
What you leave with
A practical owner review that separates pricing, scope, collection, callback, and acquisition leaks so the next move is margin discipline, not blind lead buying.
What is inside
- ✓Job-costing prompts for labor, materials, overhead, callbacks, disposal, and owner time.
- ✓Markup and margin reminders that stop revenue from being mistaken for profit.
- ✓Deposit, change-order, trip-fee, minimum-charge, and payment-term checks before work starts.
- ✓Lead-source math so SEO, referrals, LSAs, ads, and bought leads are judged by booked-job cost and gross margin.
- ✓A monthly profit-leak review owners can run before raising prices, adding crews, or buying more leads.
- ✓A source-profit decision rule that tells owners when to fix pricing, collection, callback, or conversion before spending on more demand.

When a product fits: LocalKit and Webzaz are not primary CTAs for pricing intent. Consider them only after the owner proves the leak is source attribution, profile routing, or website conversion instead of labor, markup, scope, callbacks, or collections.

Close profit leaks by the number that is still leaking.
Use this 18:00 layer after the checklist so pricing, lead-source economics, website conversion, and operations leaks stay separated before any Webzaz or LocalKit-fit credit is assigned.
Pricing leak remains finance-first
Keep labor cost, markup, gross margin, deposits, scope creep, callback cost, and collections in finance until the owner has measured the leak.
Lead-source math routes to demand ceiling
Use lead-source routing only when booked-job cost, close rate, average ticket, gross margin, refund risk, and acquisition ceiling prove demand is the next bottleneck.
Website conversion needs proof
Use Webzaz-fit routing only when quote-form completion, service-page trust, mobile CTA clarity, project proof, or value framing are the measured pricing-to-conversion leak.
Operations leak stays process-owned
Route no-shows, callbacks, estimate handoff, scheduling, job closeout, and collection follow-up to operations before the checklist receives product attribution.
