What we did is, it's kind of funny because I call my vendors and I say, tell me how you win.
How do you meet your bonuses?
What is your objectives this year?
For like the vendors, I'm going to spend $80 million in garage doors this year.
I say, what product mix do you need us to be at?
And I say, now, if I do this for you, when do I get a bigger rebate?
My growth, like if I sell a hundred doors to somebody, they're paying a different price than if they buy one door.
So I work out these things.
So, you know, we've got economies of scale.
We've got efficiency, right?
And, you know, the crazy thing is what a great home service business does 15% of the bottom.
We're almost double that.
And I still see because of our efficiency, like you might have a call center rep that could book 20 calls a day.
Mine could book 60.
So let's say you're paying yours 20, I'm paying mine 35.
They're doing three times the work.
You know what I mean?
So you get these economies of scale and people don't like when I say this, but if you work at A1, most people will hire you in their garage store business because we've got, we buy $6,000 of tools.
We train, we train, we train.
You know, when I played football, I played two a days.
