Stop Selling One-Off Fixes, Start Printing Monthly Plumbing Revenue | Plumbing Profit Accelerator – Week 2

Remember when…
That emergency call turned into a $400 win. You cleared the line, fixed the leak, and saved the day. Customer was thrilled. But by next week? Forgotten. Gone. Replaced by the next cold-call crisis.

✅ Pricing that feels like a no-brainer

✅ A system to track and scale it

Why Most People Get This Wrong

Most plumbing companies treat maintenance plans like a weak upsell:

• Techs mumble it at the end of the job

• There’s no urgency, no incentive, no follow-up

• It sounds like another bill, not a benefit

That’s why it doesn’t sell.

But smart contractors flip the script:
They offer peace of mind at the exact moment the customer is feeling vulnerable, and they make it frictionless.

The Truth About Plumbing Memberships

Your customers don’t want another subscription.
They want to stop worrying about plumbing problems.

Offer that. Call it what it is: Plumbing Protection.

This is your chance to convert stress into security.

Key Principles

1. Create a High-Value, Low-Friction Comfort Plan

• Why it matters: Monthly revenue builds stability—especially in slow seasons.

• How to implement: Launch a $19-$29/month membership that includes:

  • Annual whole-home plumbing inspection

  • 10-20% off all future service

  • Priority scheduling

  • Waived trip fee for one call/year

• Common pitfall: Don’t overcomplicate. Keep it simple. Sell safety and speed.

2. Pitch It When Relief Is High

• Why it matters: People buy when they’re emotional. Emergencies = maximum urgency.

• How to implement: Train techs to say:

"Since we’re already here and you’ve had an issue, would you like us to include you in our Plumbing Comfort Plan? It gives you priority support and discounted service for the next 12 months."

• Common pitfall: Pitching it after the invoice. Ask before the job is closed.

3. Use It to Fill Your Q1 Calendar

• Why it matters: Maintenance visits keep your trucks rolling during your slowest quarter.

• How to implement: Offer new members their free inspection in January or February.

• Common pitfall: Letting memberships sit idle. Schedule right away and get buy-in.

Your Action Plan

Day 1: Build your Comfort Plan. Choose the name, price, and 3 core benefits.
Day 2: Write a 2-line script and role-play with techs in morning meetings.
Day 3: Add the plan as a default line item in your invoices and quotes.
Day 4: Email your customer list: “New Plumbing Comfort Plan Available, Priority Access Starts Now.”
Day 5: Use theprofitsimulator.com to model 50 members at $25/month = $15,000 annual MRR.

Common Objections Handled

“My customers won’t want to pay monthly for plumbing.”
→ Then offer an annual option. $249/year feels clean and clear.

“My techs don’t like pitching memberships.”
→ Don’t make them sell. Just let them offer protection.

“What if no one signs up?”
→ If even 1 in 10 says yes, you’ve created thousands in recurring cash flow.

The Bottom Line

You already earned their trust.
You already solved their problem.
Now earn their loyalty and lock in their future work.

One-time wins pay today. Memberships pay for years.
