# Is a service plan worth selling?

Yes, when the yearly price beats what the visits cost.

**For**

Sell a yearly plan, so steady work and money come in before they call.

**When**

When you finish a repair or a service

## Try it

40 homes at 180 a year, 2 visits costing 60 each: 2,400 kept a year.

Kept = homes × plan price − homes × visits × what a visit costs.

Price the plan above what its visits cost you.

## Worked out

| Homes | Comes in | Visits cost | Kept |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 10 | 1,800 | 1,200 | 600 |
| 25 | 4,500 | 3,000 | 1,500 |
| 40 | 7,200 | 4,800 | 2,400 |
| 100 | 18,000 | 12,000 | 6,000 |

## Easy to get wrong

- A plan priced under its own visits.
- Visits promised and never booked.
- No reminder when it’s time to renew.
- Free repairs nobody priced in.

## Questions

**What goes in a plan?**

The visits, what each one checks, and any discount on repairs.

**Monthly or yearly?**

Either. Monthly feels smaller to them; yearly is less to chase.

**Who should I offer it to?**

Everyone you just fixed something for. They know your work.

**What if they cancel halfway?**

Say on the plan what happens to the visits left and the money.

**Do plan customers get repairs free?**

Better a discount than free, so one big repair can’t sink the plan.

**When do I book the visits?**

Before the busy season, when you can choose the days.

**How do I remind them to renew?**

A month before it ends, with what the year’s visits found.

**Is it worth it for a small business?**

Yes: it fills quiet weeks, and repairs come out of the visits.
