Our best ever week and final goal decided on.
« on: October 23, 2018, 10:25:57 am »
Last week was our best ever week for turnover £17,025.00 as a few guys worked the sat to boost our numbers. Im loving this business right now. Its amazing what can be done if you want it enough.  Its fun for me to remember the first year up my ladder doing £100 a day.

I have fianlly settled on what our final goal will be. I thought about opening a second base or adding loads more to the current one. But that just feels like pushing on like mad forever. In the end I have decided to buy 2 more vans in the spring with a goal of 12 on the road and a spare in the yard. This way we max out everything we have, no need for another static system and lots more expenses ect. That will be a nice size to be and will get us the £million a year turnover or just about. Plan now is to save as much as possible in order to re invest again next year from April. We did that this year and added 2 more vans and 1500 customers so far. We still have a trickle of about 30 new a week right now

Well done Lee excellent performance, am I correct in thinking that's an average of £1,700 per van?

Sounds like an excellent plan

At some point in the near future you should be able to take it easier as most of it will run itself that’s the time to really enjoy all the effort put in

Well done

Awesome well done!

Can you remember when you first started marketing how much you did you budget a month?
Also how many customers did you have before you started employing?

Thanks

hmm hard to answer. I can say I had no idea what I was doing back then. I do remember the first time we had 12,000 delivered and how excited I was. Done over 2million in the last 2.5 years and probably 800k next year lol.

Dont know how many I had back then. I got a guy join me in my van when I was full. I had been going about 3 years then.

Of course, I forgot no cleaner Planner back then to keep track of things like amount of customers you have 😅

I am also hoping this will end up as our best ever month. Looks like we might just beat Aug by a thousand or two
