Day 5

Module 1: Foundation & Market Positioning

Learning Objective

Map your optimal service territory using drive-time analysis, demographic data, and project density.

Today's Lesson

The Drive-Time Profit Model — A $60K kitchen 10 minutes away requires 20 hours of drive time over 8 weeks. The same project 45 minutes away requires 60 hours — 40 hours of lost productivity at $75/hour = $3,000 in lost opportunity cost.

Service Territory Mapping:

1. Drive-time rings — Map 15-minute, 30-minute, and 45-minute radii from your office.
2. Demographic overlay — Layer median income, home value, and home age data.
3. Project density tracking — Mark every project from the past 24 months; identify clusters.
4. Permit data analysis — Identify zip codes with highest remodeling permit activity.
5. Territory boundaries — Define clear geographic boundaries for marketing and SEO.

The 15-minute zone is your goldmine; the 30-minute zone is viable for large projects; the 45-minute zone should be reserved for $100K+ projects.
