high margin is driven by efficient variable costs (installation labor is only 65% of revenue) To maintain this efficiency while scaling revenue to over \u003cstrong\u003e$21 million\u003c\/strong\u003e by 2030, you must focus on material cost control and strategic pricing This guide outlines seven actions to ensure your high \u003cstrong\u003e17365%\u003c\/strong\u003e
