The Successful Contractor Podcast

Jon Polizzi of Home Service Heroes in Tampa, FL, has been a great member for many, many years. Home Service Heroes offers electrical, HVAC, and plumbing residential services, and in 2022, the company generated over $6.5 million at a strong, strong profit margin. A big part of ensuring you’re highly profitable is managing inventory.  That’s today’s topic. Jon offers a bounty of information. He shares how his managers inspect their trucks WEEKLY, including reviewing inventory; Jon pays vendors daily; and he does an exceptional job of keeping his techs out of the big box stores. Jon really refined this inventory management process over the last couple of years.  The last straw was when someone purchased a $250 pair of sunglasses on a company credit card.  And he could never find the culprit.  That doesn’t happen anymore. This conversation will offer a bounty of nuggets to help you add another 1-3+% to your bottom line.
