E-320 Pool Nation Podcast - Your Pool Route Is Full. So Why Aren’t You Making More Money?

In Episode 320 of the Pool Nation Podcast - Your pool route is full. The phone is ringing. You’re working six or seven days a week.

So why does it still feel like you’re not making the money you should be making?

In this episode of the Pool Nation Podcast, Edgar De Jesus and John “JJ Flawless” break down one of the biggest challenges facing pool service business owners: being incredibly busy without actually building a more profitable, sustainable business.

More pools don’t automatically mean more profit.

We talk about hidden costs, route efficiency, customer profitability, pricing, burnout, hiring employees, leadership, and why understanding your numbers has to happen BEFORE you try to scale your pool business.

We also go inside the vision behind the new Pool Nation Business Group and why Pool Nation is creating monthly meetings where pool business owners and leaders can actually work ON their businesses, not just listen to another presentation.

The goal is simple: help pool pros build stronger, more profitable businesses while becoming better owners and leaders.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why a full pool route doesn’t necessarily mean a profitable business• Why adding more customers can actually make your problems worse• The hidden cost of windshield time and inefficient routes• Why you need to understand customer profitability• How to know when your business is financially ready to hire• Why hiring your first employee can create MORE chaos• The connection between profitability and burnout• Why pool pros struggle to implement what they learn at training events• How accountability and repetition help business owners actually make changes• The tools Pool Nation is developing to help pool pros understand their businesses• Why leadership becomes critical as your pool company grows• How the Pool Nation Business Group will work• How pool pros, manufacturers, distributors, and industry leaders can participate

The first Pool Nation Business Group meeting takes place October 29 at 6:00 PM at Pool Nation Headquarters in Dallas, Texas, with a hybrid option available for those who cannot attend in person.

The focus goes beyond financials. We’re talking profitability, leadership, operations, employees, pricing, systems, accountability, and the decisions that determine whether your pool business actually succeeds.

Master the Business. Master the Craft.
