I'm thinking about doing a 30 minute webinar followed by a Q+A later this week going over how to sign up pool service customers like clockwork. Who would be interested in joining??

Tile cleaning is slept on! We added tile cleaning and its an awesome add on. I found it hard because it was more skilled labor than just service, but if you do it yourself, or have good guys, it absolutely prints. Easy $1k per day at high margin.

@James Dow Run Meta ads!!! We were able to get get very low cost per lead with the right setup there for tile cleaning.

@Eric Freitag nice! We are seeing some crazy results with Meta (as long as it’s done correctly) lots of changes in 2026 with the algorithm. It was a big contributor to our success at Tiger Shark before we sold.

@Landon Johnson Welcome to the group! Please post here or DM me with any questions. I am here to help. How has growth been this year to date?
I paid $250 per pool account. Each worth $1,800. Let me show you the math.
Story time. A guy asked me last week via DM on Skool if $2k/month on Meta ads was "too much." Here's what I told him. That $2k isn't an expense. It's a down payment on a machine. At ~$250 an account, $2k gets you about 8-10 new pools a month. Keep it up and by next summer that's 96 accounts you didn't have in January. (Much cheaper than buying routes) At $150/mo each, that's ~$14,400/month in recurring — plus another ~$40k a year in filter cleans, salt cells, and repairs, where the real margin lives. And when you sell? Each account's worth ~$1,500. So those 96 pools = ~$144k in enterprise value. Spent $24k on ads. Built a $144k asset that pays you $14k+/month. And it funded itself on the way up. He got real quiet after that. ⚠️ BEWARE though: these numbers only work if the Meta ads work. You can't slap up a canned ad, native lead forms, and expect $250 accounts. It takes high converting funnels, dialed in homeowner targeting, good video, and scroll-stopping unique creative. That's the skill. A hook, a story, an offer, a number that makes you stop. BTW - If you do all this and you don't call your leads within 60 seconds, you're also lighting money on fire. Master that and $250 accounts are easy. Skip it and you'll light $2k on fire and swear "ads don't work." What have you all tried this summer and how have the results been? 👇
Pool Service Ads
What's everyone been doing this summer here to grow their routes? I've been seeing Meta (done correctly) absolutely slaughter as opposed to Google Ads this summer. Comment below your guys' thoughts! PS - ChatGPT / Open AI just came out with an Ads Manager last week. We've been testing it internally, it's pretty cool.

@Jacob Vinkler Meta can slaughter. Just want to make sure to run ads to a high converting landing page or quiz funnel and not a generic Meta native lead form or DM funnel. Also - Owner operator in the video with a killer script does wonders.

@Adam Tinney Nice! Yeah - They are very very good at what they do. Feel free to elaborate more on your experience with them as a whole. Happy to see you're killing it.
Hi from LA
Been following Pool Monopoly and now Gianluca. I'm brand new to pools, trying to get in the industry. What's the best path for someone like me to get a fundamental knowledge base to feel confident to service accounts? I see the huge opportunity in pools and want to launch my company, just want to do it the right way and learn to be able to provide great service. 🙏
