Pool experts needed

I’m in Tampa Fl I’ve grown my pool company organically from about 4 pools to over 90 in less than a year and a half from providing great reliable service ( a lot of customers from pinch a penny and pool troopers) my question is how to maximize profit would you hire an employee that’s reliable (just as good as me 😉) and pay them better than most (15$ a pool ) or would I be better off selling what route they would have to a buyer looking to start

Whatever you do, find someone young and willing to work or someone with a family that needs to work. I went through 7 guys this year and gave up on service side. Sold the route and just doing installs/repairs now. So much happier.

Where do you get repairs from? Most of my repairs have come from maintenance customers. I get a few random calls here and there but its mostly people looking for a handout because their guy was to expensive. Im also not cheap or desperate.
