Starting values are placeholders, not Wynnlo results. Replace them with your shop's real numbers.

Default $5,000. Use your own average ticket. Default 2%. Deliberately conservative; see the note below. Default 50. Capped at the real 30-day count for the area you picked. Default 35%. Used to compare profit, not revenue, to the plan cost.

Estimated monthly outcome

1.0extra jobs / month
$5,000revenue / month
$60,000revenue / year
$1,750gross profit / month

1 job a month covers the $149/month plan, which at your close rate means working about 50 permits.

After the plan, estimated gross profit is $1,601 a month.

The math

  1. Permits worked: 50 (of 1,002 issued in 30 days)
  2. Jobs = 50 × 2% = 1.00
  3. Revenue = 1.00 × $5,000 = $5,000 / month, × 12 = $60,000 / year
  4. Gross profit = revenue × 35% = $1,750 / month
  5. Break-even = $149 ÷ ($5,000 × 35%) rounded up = 1 job(s)

These are estimates based on the inputs you enter, not a guarantee of jobs, revenue, or profit. Wynnlo has no customer results to report yet, so nothing on this page is drawn from past subscribers.

A City of Austin mechanical permit is usually pulled by the contractor already hired for that job, so a permit is not an open bid. Shops get value from the feed in other ways: new-construction and builder relationships, follow-up offers to recently permitted addresses (maintenance agreements, add-ons, duct and air-quality work), distributor sales into active jobs, and seeing which competitors are busy in which ZIPs. Use the close rate that kind of outreach really produces for you. Follow telemarketing, do-not-call, and privacy rules when you contact anyone.
