A guide you use, not a file you forget
Local Services Playbook runs as a web app in our member area. Read a chapter, use the tools, tick off the action, and pick up exactly where you left off.
5 guided chapters
Short, step-by-step chapters with a progress bar that shows what you have read and what comes next.
Service Menu Builder
List each service with its time on the job, price and supplies. Add your typical travel time and a target hourly rate to see the effective hourly rate of every service once travel and supplies are counted, and which one is the weakest.
Neighborhood Outreach Log
Log every outreach action: flyers, door knocks, app posts, board notices and referrals. See your totals, reply rate, booking rate and which channel has produced the most bookings so far.
Action Roadmap
One concrete action per chapter, collected in a checklist so you always know the next thing to do this week.
Downloadable PDF
Every chapter in one clean, printable document. Save it as a PDF to read offline or keep a printed copy on your desk.
