Recent Intel

⚠ Idle Time at 75%

Target is sub-50%. This is the #1 item to address. Brad asked about getting ClearTraks tasks assigned to Christine to reduce idle time.

  • Mosquito subscription drive: 65/100 target
  • Was on vacation Jun 3-10 (Japan), back Jun 11
  • Replicable model for turf care vertical

HIGH PERFORMER

Current Focus

  • Daily route creation for all technician teams
  • 2 branch locations, 8+ trucks
  • FieldRoutes power user (scheduling, proposals, CRM)
  • HubSpot ticket management
  • Currently onboarding new Ops Manager (30-60 day process... Zach trusts him to do this)

Recent Intel

✅ Cornerstone Status

Described as "cornerstone of Yardsy operations team" in May update. 23% idle time. Earning trust at the highest level.

⚠ Routing Hours Flag (Mar 2026)

Zach flagged 123.55 hrs in Feb for routing (5.7 hrs/day vs. 1-2 hr/day benchmark). Likely includes scheduling, calls, and other ops tasks logged under "routing." May need to reframe as total ops value delivered.

Reah Jane Sabalvaro
Finance & HR • Started Aug 22, 2024
IMPROVING

Current Focus

  • Accounting for 3 companies (Yardsy, Maxwell, FiveTraks)
  • NEW Now also doing books for ClearTraks, WDM, and BluTeal
  • Weekly payroll (every Tuesday, all companies)
  • Monthly OpEx budget reports, bank reconciliation
  • HR tasks (hiring, termination, pay raises)

Recent Intel

✅ Major Turnaround

Had early engagement/punctuality issues. After OA coaching, Zach confirmed "noticeable improvement in engagement, punctuality, and collaboration." Randall specifically praised her: "It's always Reah that does the heavy lifting."

  • US visa application denied... stays fully active (no leave disruption)
  • Expanding scope with new companies is a good sign
Florisa May Saronhilo
Sales VA • DISENGAGED Feb 5, 2026
DISENGAGED

Performance gaps in conversational sales. Close rate below 70-80% target. Zach also hired an internal Sales President, reducing need. Position pivoted to Customer Service & Billing but recruitment paused.

🎤 Suggested Talk Track

1. Open: Acknowledge the Growth

Lead with genuine recognition of the ClearTraks acquisition and David coming on board. This is a company in growth mode.

"Zach, Randall... congrats on the ClearTraks acquisition. That's exciting. You guys are clearly in build mode. And bringing David on as President... that tells me you're scaling intentionally, not just adding chaos. How's that transition going?"

2. Randall: Acknowledge Reah's Impact

Randall has specifically praised Reah. Acknowledge that directly to him. This builds trust with Randall personally.

"Randall, I've seen your feedback on Reah... 'always does the heavy lifting.' That's great to hear. And the fact she's already picking up the ClearTraks books tells me she's earning that trust. How's the expanded scope working out from your end?"

3. Address Christine's Idle Time (Proactively)

Don't wait for them to bring it up. Show you're on top of it. Frame it as an opportunity, not a problem.

"One thing I want to get ahead of... Christine's idle time has crept up to about 75%. She just got back from vacation, so I expect that'll come down. But more importantly, with ClearTraks now in the picture, are there tasks on that side she could pick up? She's already onboarding Housecall Pro. I think there's a natural fit there... customer service, lead follow-up, partner outreach for the pressure washing side."

4. Celebrate Aivan

Aivan's cornerstone status is a win. And the fact he's onboarding the new Ops Manager is a huge trust signal.

"Aivan... I mean, having him onboard your new Ops Manager says everything. That's not something you hand off to someone you don't trust completely. How's that process going?"

5. Routing Hours (Only If They Bring It Up)

Zach flagged this in March. Don't bring it up unprompted, but be ready with context if it comes up.

"We looked into those February hours. What we found is that 'routing' in his daily workflow actually encompasses scheduling, call handling, ticket management, and production reports... not just route optimization. When you break it down by actual task, the hours align much more closely with the total ops value he's delivering across 2 branches and 8 trucks."

6. Explore ClearTraks Expansion

This is the natural opening for more OA involvement. ClearTraks needs ops support and Zach already trusts the team.

"With ClearTraks... what's the ops setup look like over there? Are you running that lean right now? Because if there's routing, scheduling, customer service on that side, we could potentially expand Christine's or Aivan's scope... or if the volume justifies it, we could look at a dedicated person."

7. Temperature Check on David

Important to understand David's role and whether he's a champion or a potential threat to the OA relationship.

"How's David settling in? What's he focused on? I want to make sure our team is aligned with his priorities. Would it make sense for me to connect with him at some point?"

8. Close: Forward-Looking

End on momentum. Reinforce that OA is a growth partner, not just a vendor.

"You guys are in a really strong position. Five brands, a team that's performing, new leadership in place. I just want to make sure we're evolving with you. Whatever ClearTraks needs, whatever David's priorities are... let's keep this conversation going."

💡 Strategic Opportunities

🎯 ClearTraks Expansion

What: New pressure washing company = new ops needs. Reah already doing books. Christine onboarding Housecall Pro. Natural fit for more VA hours or a 4th VA.

Revenue potential: +$1,895/mo if a dedicated VA is added.

🛠 FieldRoutes Managed Service

What: Aivan is the prototype for OA's "Software-as-a-Managed-Service" model. 1 specialist managing FieldRoutes for 10-15 clients = $20-30K/mo per specialist.

Why it matters: FiveTraks is the anchor case study.

📈 Christine's Replicable Model

What: Christine's evolved role (sales + retention + partner management + upselling + KPI) is a packagable "Turf Care Revenue Ops Specialist" offering for other lawn care clients.

Next step: Document as a playbook.

🤖 FieldRoutes-HubSpot Integration

What: 18-month pain point. Manual data transfer between systems. An AI agent could automate the sync and eliminate wasted VA hours.

Status: Identified but not yet piloted.

👪 Reactivate 4th VA

What: Customer Service & Billing specialist role was scoped and JD revised, but hiring paused after Florisa May's exit. Once David is settled, this conversation reopens.

Timing: Likely 30-60 days after David's integration.

🌐 Pod-Based Model

What: Mars Perez proposed 2-4 elite agents collectively managing a group of turf/lawn care accounts. Cross-training, redundancy, shared knowledge base.

Timing: Once 3-5 additional turf care clients onboarded.

⚠️ Pain Points & Watch Items

Christine Idle Time: 75%

Target is sub-50%. Just returned from vacation (Jun 11). ClearTraks tasks and Housecall Pro onboarding should help. Need to confirm with Zach what ClearTraks work Christine can absorb.

Aivan Routing Hours Concern

Zach flagged 123.55 hrs in Feb (5.7 hrs/day vs. 1-2 hr benchmark). Likely includes scheduling, calls, tickets logged under "routing." Currently at 23% idle, which is healthy. Don't bring up unless they do... but be ready to reframe.

New President (David) Transition

Announced May 2026. New leadership sometimes triggers vendor reviews. Temperature check is a priority for this call. Understand David's priorities and get Brad in front of him.

4th VA Position Still Unfilled

Customer Service & Billing role scoped but recruitment paused since March 2026. $1,895/mo revenue opportunity. Timing may be right with ClearTraks adding workload.

FieldRoutes-HubSpot Integration Gap

Persistent since July 2024. Manual data transfer between the two systems. DeepLawn added as partial bridge. Costs VA hours and introduces errors. This is a structural problem that won't fix itself.
