Episode Synopsis

Feeling slow in your pressure washing business this spring? Before you panic, let's look at what your numbers are really telling you. In this eye-opening episode, Matt and Clay tackle one of the most common concerns among pressure washing business owners—the perception of slowdown during what should be the busy season.We break down the crucial difference between being busy and being productive. Many business owners mistake efficiency for slowdown when they're actually earning more while doing less work. As Matt reveals, "We ended up doing a little bit less jobs, so our average ticket went up but our job number went down." This insight highlights why tracking your data matters more than trusting your feelings about business performance.Drawing from our combined decades of experience, we share how weather patterns, increased competition, and evolving business efficiency all impact your perception of business health. Clay emphasizes how his operation completed 70 houses last month—up 40% from the previous year—despite the feeling that things were moving slower. We provide actionable strategies for analyzing your business data properly, including how to use CRM systems to track year-over-year performance, measure your average ticket price, and recognize when you're actually growing despite doing fewer jobs.The conversation also addresses the mental game of business ownership. Instead of blaming external factors like the economy or competition, we demonstrate how focusing on what you can control leads to sustainable growth. As Clay puts it, "The biggest thing I see is a lot of people struggling and then looking for things to blame it on." Learn why the most successful pressure washing businesses double down on their strengths rather than chasing every market segment, and how patience and consistency eventually pay off with exponential growth.
