Sound Familiar?

It's October 20 and you have 35 installs booked in 6 weeks. Today: 2 installs (3 hours each). First house: 150 feet of roofline, 2 trees, and a wreath above the garage. Materials: $180 in lights and clips. You charge $850. Second house is simpler — $450 for roofline only. You need to quote 5 more houses this week from photos clients texted you. In January, you'll take them all down. Your CRM is a spreadsheet of addresses.
