Here’s the quick math: if paid leads bring low-ticket paint jobs, you can fill the schedule but miss the higher-margin refinishing work the shop needs. The owner’s income improves when the mix shifts toward higher average tickets and better close rates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cul class=\"lst_crct_blog\"\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eTrack booked revenue by source\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eWatch average ticket and close rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eCount referral jobs each month\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003eReject low-margin lead sources fast\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003c\/ul\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eWhat this estimate hides is the cost of bad-fit work: more quoting time, more price pressure, and weaker cash flow.
