• why long backlogs reduce close rates as leads cool off 
• the difference between a lead problem and a labor constraint 
• the Rule of Three for response time, estimates, and production start dates 
• why adding production capacity can unlock weekly revenue 
• the lifetime employee gross profit to cost to acquire talent ratio 
• using a 10:1 target to set a smart recruiting budget 
• recruiting across multiple channels at once
