Not sure which metrics actually move the needle? Here’s the no-fluff breakdown that top movers use to stay profitable.
Power move: Use auto-texts and AI sales assistants to respond when you can’t.
Focus on premium services that actually make you money. That's how the industry's top sellers book $75k more revenue per year.
Grant Korzetz's $15M team uses the winning sequence: Call + Text + Email within 48 hours. Simple? Yes. Effective? Also yes.
Grosse Pointe Moving 5X'd valuation sales in 30 days—just by showing coverage options directly on the quote. Simple change, serious profit.
A scorecard is just paper—until you know how to use it.
We’ve dug into data from hundreds of moving companies (yep, we’re nerds for this stuff) to figure out what the top 10% do differently. Here's the real-world playbook that turns average sales reports into profit engines:
The best don’t chase big revenue. They chase real margin.
Here’s what they track and how often:
High revenue doesn’t mean high margin. Book jobs that pay, not just fill the calendar.
Monthly reports? That’s 30 days too late.
When 41% of movers say they can’t track key KPIs, the bar is low—and that’s your edge.
This one number can swing your annual revenue by millions—and costs you nothing to improve.
Here’s what happens with 500 leads/month:
Same leads. Same spend. Bigger payday.
Your booking rate doesn’t just reflect sales. It reflects how profitable your marketing really is.
Incentives matter. And at the $2M+ level, 76% of movers offer sales commissions.
Eco Movers' model? A clean, motivating scale:
Whether it’s base + bonus or straight commission, comp plans that reward margin and valuation add-ons win.
90% of profitable, multi-million-dollar movers use systems—not spreadsheets—to manage KPIs.
The old way? Sticky notes and whiteboards.
The SmartMoving way? One platform that runs your sales like a business, not a guessing game.
✅ Leads get a response in minutes, not hours
✅ Follow-ups run on autopilot
✅ Your team knows exactly where to focus
✅ You finally know which jobs make money—and which don’t
Still asking your sales team “How’s it going?” and guessing on margin? Let’s build the system that shows you—and grows your bottom line.👇
Pro tip: Track these in your CRM—not on spreadsheets your reps forget to update. The difference? Clarity, accountability, and margin.
As Wade from 2 College Brothers puts it: “If you’re catching problems monthly, you’re already too late.”
If you’re under 30%, your boat has leaks. Let’s patch them with better process, not more guesswork.
Start by tracking:
Once you know where deals die, you can fix it.
Make it simple. Make it routine. Make it matter to them.
Start with 3-5 core metrics. Use them to celebrate wins—not just call out misses. When the scoreboard ties directly to commission checks, people pay attention.
Flip the frame: This isn’t surveillance. It’s a highlight reel.
Top reps love scorecards because they prove who’s actually delivering. If your team’s doing the work, the data should brag for them.
Lower your volume goals (calls, leads) during slow seasons—but never lower your quality metrics (booking rate, response time).
Think of it like your trucks: You might drive less in the winter, but you still change the oil.
Closed deals are only half the story. Real sales accountability includes:
If you want real growth, measure the work that drives it—not just what hits the bank.
