When taking less time results in higher profits, the people doing the work have 3 options:
1) don't waste time unnecessarily, e.g. chatting with the customer, doing personal things on cellphone 2) optimize the work for time, e.g. pre-planning, choosing a wire route that is more visible/more prone to get damaged but is quicker to do 3) do low-quality work, e.g. mount the antenna at a location that is quick to reach but has low signal/trees in the way/connects to a more loaded AP, or just throw the wire on the roof without attaching it, or run the wire in a location where it is very likely to get damaged. If employees have a good personality and the company has a good culture and enforcement, you get #1 and a bit of #2. If employees are lazy/don't care and the company culture is the same, you get #3 and lots of problems. I did some work in the early days that was paid per-install; I tried to do always good work while another installer did #3. I can tell you that I was REALLY NOT HAPPY that he was being paid more than me for lower-quality work.

Has anyone ever heard of having a flat base pay of like $10/hour and then on top of that pay them for number of installs / service calls / tickets they get completed in that pay period? Basically it will motivate them to do more because their hourly rate average will increase with the more they get done.
