## Resource

On this episode of the Jered Williams Show, Jered and guest Eddie break down the Profit and Loss (P&L) statement, treating it as a vital report card for home service business owners to diagnose the health of their operations. They explain how to properly structure a P&L by moving technician labor and materials into Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) to clearly distinguish between field inefficiencies and office overhead issues. The conversation provides a data-driven methodology for calculating marketing budgets based on specific revenue goals and conversion metrics rather than arbitrary industry percentages, while also emphasizing the importance of building brand trust. Finally, they caution against "shiny object syndrome" regarding expensive software, advocating for a lean tech stack and a disciplined focus on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) like labor efficiency and average ticket size to achieve a target 20% net profit.
