Listen to the end on how you get your free copy!

Is finding and keeping top talent holding your service company back?

Are you exhausted from working 80+ hours a week and wearing too many hats in your company?

Finding and building a great team can relieve you of much of that work and enable you to scale and grow fast.

As service business operators, most of us are not experts in the hiring process and how to find and keep top talent.

Ryan and his team have spent their entire careers in that world and have developed a 7-part game plan that puts you in control of consistently attracting and hiring top talent.

Ryan and his company are well-known in the home service industry and have many of the nation’s top service operators as clients.

I learned a lot myself and I am sure you will as well. Enjoy!

Today we have a special guest on the podcast, Don Hilderbrand, from PlumbSmart out of Asheville NC.

Don is a super skilled and successful operator and openly shares his journey of starting his residential service company in 2008 at the height of a national recession.

We talked about the importance of advisors, associations, numbers, and good old-fashioned action to make things happen fast.

Don shared why branding is so important and how they use social media in-house to make their company “five mile famous”.

I opened with inquiries into the new heat pump water heaters. If that doesn’t interest you skip to the 15:09 mark for his story and advice.

I really enjoyed this conversation and Don shared some great, fundamental advice that every business owner could use.

Today we have a special guest on the podcast, Dan Goodman, from Building36.com to talk about how to power up your annual maintenance plans or give you the tools to create one your customers will want.

Annual maintenance plans are an excellent tool to help you stay connected to customers for repeat business, referrals, reviews, and more.

But until now they didn’t have the greatest renewal rates.

Adding monitoring devices like water flow detectors and shut-offs, smart HVAC thermostats, smart lighting controls, and more will add tremendous value and make your maintenance plan “stickier” and more desired.

Learn how Dan and his partner developed cutting-edge smart home solutions that protect critical systems for homeowners while offering it only through home service contractors to help you build customer loyalty.

With over 15 years of success and millions of active devices in the field, they’ve carved out a niche within your industry that can help you grow more business.

Enjoy!
