What is Your Effective Labor Rate?


This is The Most POWERFULL Number For A Service Manager To Understand &Control Daily!

WHY?

BECAUSE IT HAS NO ADDITIONAL COST OF SALE!!

EVERY EFFECTIVE LABOR RATE DOLLAR FOUND IS

"PURE NET PROFIT!!"

A Customer Pay ELR improvement of Just $3.00 Is Worth $1000's EVERY MONTH, Because it is multiplied by EVERY CP- HOUR SOLD THAT MONTH,

Let Me Repeat That,

Because It Is Multiplied By EVERY CP-HOUR SOLD THAT MONTH!!!

Stop And Think For Just A Minute What A $5.00 Increase In CP Effective Labor Rate Would Mean To Your NET PROFITS Over The Next 12 Months or Over The Next 3 YEARS!!!

Simply Put, Effective Labor Rate Is A Measure Of How Effective Your Service Department Is At Selling Labor Hours VS The Posted Or Stated Labor Rate. ELR Can Be Calculated On Warranty, Internal or Customer Pay Labor, or all three. It Can Represent 1 Repair Order or A Years worth, Really Any Time Frame Or Batch Of RO's You Choose.

The Formula is :

LABOR SALES DOLLARS ($) ÷ FLAT RATE HOURS PAID TO TECHNICIANS
EXAMPLE FOR A WHEEL BEARING REPAIR THAT PAY'S 1.5 HRS AND SELLS FOR $112.50 (LABOR ONLY)

$112.50 ÷ 1.5 = $75.00 EFFECTIVE LABOR RATE
