#278 // The Crowe Show “Key Monthly Metrics”

Sparky Coach ·

2026/03/16

Closing the month is something that we are really serious about here at Sparky Coach. In fact we are so serious about it that we employ full time accountants to plow through your info and make sure what we are extracting is correct. Today Crowe takes us through a breakdown of a close the month including the key metrics to look out for + key components to watch (ie revenue, COGS, gross profit, other revenue, COO, net profit etc). A numbers system is only as good as the data entered into it, and in

"I care desperately about what I do. Do I know what product I'm selling? No. Do I know what I'm doing today? No. But I'm here, and I'm gonna give it my best shot" // Hansel from Zoolander Welcome to part 2 of planning an admin day. Let’s face it, most of us wouldn’t employ ourselves to work in the office. But we need to turn that around.Too often we are consistently underperforming and then the work creeps over into our personal lives and headspace, robbing us of good

2026/03/11

Today Cam + Joey take us through “The Hustlehoff” from our “Finding Work Bible”. The age old rule with finding work is simple: you’re only as good as what you were doing 3-6 months ago. We run through essentially everything (or mostly everything) that you can do organically to ensure that you are retaining clients + also giving yourself the best shot at bringing future work in the door. But remember, the wrong kind of work is worse than no work, the wrong client is worse than no client, and hiring

“No I don’t want no scrubs” // TLCIt’s a tale as old as time; kind business owner hires and then keeps average staff members around for too long only to feel the wrath. You weren’t born to be average, and your business was not created to do average work with average people for average clients. You were born to be exceptional, and your business was created to do awesome work with awesome people for awesome clients. So stop hiring + keeping around average team members only to watch them bring down the

Today on Sunday Skool Cam takes us through building out a price book for something new, be it residential or commercial. Let’s be honest, most price books are complicated and you need a PHD in someone else’s brain to even begin to start to make sense of hacking the main frame for zero enlightenment. Cam has fleshed his one out to be very simple + very effective. Today he shows you how to build it out and apply for quick quoting sorcery. The people are real. The cases are real. The rulings are

“I get a little bit Ghengis Kahn, don’t want you to get it on with nobody else but me” // Miike Snow “Ghengis Kahn The philosophical foundations for this pod are built upon “long term clients are better than short term money” and “once a client always a client”.But let’s face it, there are plenty of valid (and not valid) reasons why a client would shop around or get a second opinion. Today we chat through lots of the common reasons why a client could potentially look for greener pastures and then

2026/02/25

Today Cam + Crowe sit on the lounge to dissect the 8th wonder of the world which is attempting to understand how to decipher and apply the apprentice pays + allowances. This is an area most people get wrong or misinterpret, so our goal here is just to try and shed some light on what seems to be an overlooked area. There are plenty of items to consider here and in no way are we trying to replace Fair Work, so pls don’t take us as gospel and contact someone higher up than us if you want to achieve

“Turning into the light, becoming adult. Turning into myself” -Bloc Party “Banquet” Continuing our series on how to have a great 2026 we take inspiration from an all time classic “Banquet”. So often in business (and life) we know what works, we recognise what works, we do what works, and then it works. It starts clicking. I am making money. I am building wealth. I am being kind.

Today Tommy takes us through a demo of the job management software Fergus. Of course our purpose here is to educate the people we care about, but it would be amiss of me not to mention that at Sparky Coach we are now approved for Fergus training and we also offer 1:1 consulting to help get Fergus firing.

Today we go through the small job travel fee and how it applies to your business and can dramatically affect the profitability of all your jobs under 8 hours. Here’s my script I used to use… Essentially everyone is charging a call out fee, the key is to find something that works for you, your clients + your area. And call it something that your clients can understand. You can call it a call out fee, service fee, admin fee, or whatever. We used to call it a “small job travel fee”, which was

2026/01/24

This session is part of our regular Friday “teaching sessions” which we do every week as part of the Sparky Coach paid platform. I had a gut feel that it would be beneficial for everyone so hence me dropping it out here to the general public and punters lololololol…Admin days can be super unproductive. You can book too much in, not enough in, get distracted, end up on the phone down the street (lol), end up on site, pick up conduit for the crew, eat heaps of KFC (IYKYK), or end up binge eating
