  • Dynamic Pricing: John is developing a dynamic pricing model to replace a static one, using levers like job type (e.g., acrylic vs. California stucco), customer difficulty, and seasonality to maximize profit.
  • Partnership Buyout: John bought out his business partner, Brady, in a healthy negotiation. He now owns 83% of the company, with his wife Tricia holding 17% for tax efficiency (dividends, capital gains exemption).
  • Company Operating System (COS): Austin is leading a project to document and standardize workflows across 13 siloed departments at Rydel, aiming to eliminate communication breakdowns and improve performance tracking.
  • John is replacing his static pricing model with a dynamic one, inspired by the hotel and airline industries.
  • Problem: A static markup applies the same margin to all jobs, regardless of risk or complexity.
  • Solution: A framework using several levers to adjust pricing:
  • Implementation: A spreadsheet will provide reps with a baseline labor rate for each job type, plus multipliers for other factors.
  • John bought out his business partner, Brady, after a mutual agreement that their goals had diverged.
  • Growth: The partnership grew the company from ~$1.5M to ~$3.8M in revenue.
  • Negotiation: The exit was a healthy negotiation focused on mutual satisfaction, avoiding conflict.
  • New Ownership:
  • Rationale for Tricia's Ownership:
  • Future Goal: Increase the value of the 30% personal ownership stake for a potential sale to an outside investor in 2+ years.
  • Austin is leading the COS project to standardize operations across Rydel's 13 departments.
  • Problem: Departments are siloed, using different processes and tech stacks (e.g., CRM, Google Drive). This creates communication breakdowns and makes performance tracking difficult.
  • Goal: Create a unified company workflow that maps all inter-departmental touchpoints.
  • Phase 1: Each department head is creating a "Who, What, How, and Where" document to detail their operations.
  • Phase 2: Austin and Kevin Bollier will use these documents to design the integrated workflow map.
