Marcus & DIAL · Season 1, Episode 10

How a mobile detailer finally got booked out

S1E10 · “Booked Out. Finally.”

What happens in this episode

The season finale adds up one month of leaks: missed calls, reviews never asked for, regulars who never rebooked, leads lost between apps. −$3,790 every month. Then Marcus closes them.

  1. Week 1: missed calls. Week 2: “how much?” at 9:47 PM, over and over, never answered in time.
  2. Week 3: still nine reviews. Week 4: the regulars are gone.
  3. Damage report for one month — missed calls $540, reviews you never got $1,800, regulars who never rebooked $570, leads lost between apps $880. Total −$3,790, every single month.
  4. In the rerun the missed call gets texted back mid-wash with a booking link. Prices go up on the site, so a job books while Marcus is asleep.
  5. Every finished job asks for a review. Regulars get a text when they are due and rebook themselves.
  6. Next week is full. Marcus is booked out and hiring. +$3,790 back every month.

Prefer them back to back? Watch Season 1, Part 1 — episodes 1 to 5 in one go.

DIAL’s tip

Fix one leak at a time, and start with missed calls. It is the fastest money back — $540 a month before you change anything else about how you work.

Copy and paste this:

Sorry, mid-wash right now! Book yourself in here and I’ll confirm: [your booking link]
