Recurring revenue without scope creep and churn.

This is not “sell a subscription and hope.”
This is how you build recurring revenue that survives real life:

weather, staffing changes, missed visits, picky clients, and admin fatigue.

Most maintenance programs fail because:

• Scope is vague
• Eligibility is loose
• Sales overpromise
• Admin can’t enforce rules
• Nobody planned for edge cases

This blueprint fixes that by designing the program as an operating system, not a marketing idea.

What this does (and what it doesn’t):

• This does give you a defensible, enforceable maintenance program.
• This does not magically make bad work maintainable. Quality still matters.

What you got in this product

Bonus

• Membership client profile fields (tier, renewal date, inclusions, exclusions)

Who this is for

• Teams ready to enforce rules without apologizing

The rule this blueprint enforces

Recurring revenue only works if it’s harder to abuse than to follow.
