    Why Weak Contractor Sales Follow Up Is Costing You Sales

    21.09.2026 | 39 Min.
    Most of what I hear about contractor sales follow-up comes down to one thing: businesses stop too soon. I sat down with Nathan Klug of Lift Growth Systems to talk about the dollars sitting untouched inside your own customer list.
    Nathan started his own insurance agency about fifteen years ago. He and his business partner brought on 100 agents in 90 days. That fast growth exposed a real problem. They had no way to actually follow up with everyone they brought in. That early lesson is what eventually led him to build tools that help with lead conversion for contractors today.
    What You'll Learn:
    Why the average business only tries a sales follow up once and gives up

    How estimate follow up can turn unsold jobs into paid work

    The one shift that helps you increase revenue without more ads

    Why most sales happen only after the seventh touch, not the first

    How a five step process turns old leads into new paying jobs

    The one text message structure that gets a response almost every time

    Why lead conversion for contractors starts with a plan, not more marketing

    Key Moments:
    1:37 Nathan's Insurance Agency Story And Why Follow Up Broke At Scale
    3:26 The Average Business Only Follows Up 1.1 Times
    11:34 What Database Reactivation Actually Means
    12:31 The Postcard Program That Added Real Profit
    13:40 Why Nearly Half Of Contractor Income Comes From Follow Up
    17:54 One Business Collected 162 Data Fields With No Plan
    26:54 The Five Step Follow Up System
    33:50 Nathan's Hidden Profit Leak Answer
    If marketing profit leaks have been draining your results, this episode gives you a clear place to start. You do not need more leads to grow. You need a better way to use the ones you already have, which is exactly how to increase revenue without more leads.

    10 Uncomfortable Money Questions That Reveal Your True Business Profitability

    14.09.2026 | 49 Min.
    I want to talk about how to find hidden profit in a service business, because most owners are asking the wrong question. They ask how to get busier instead of asking why the busy months still leave the bank account looking thin.
    In this episode, I walk through 10 questions business owners avoid asking themselves. Every single one has a hidden profit leak sitting behind it. We cover why more revenue is not more profit, what your labor really costs you, and why cash disappears in my business even in a good month. I also get into home service labor costs and contractor pricing for profit, two of the spots where I see owners lose the most money without realizing it.
    What You'll Learn:
    Why more revenue is not more profit in a home service business

    How to know if you are actually charging enough for the work you do

    What your team really costs you once you calculate the full number

    Why busy crews can still be losing you money every single day

    Why cash disappears in my business even when the P&L looks good

    The real cost of keeping your doors open each month

    What happens to your business if you disappear for thirty days

    Key Moments:
    6:45 Why More Revenue Is Not More Profit
    17:45 The Question That Exposes Money-Losing Jobs
    20:20 What Your Team Really Costs You
    28:16 Why Cash Disappears Even When The P&L Looks Good
    33:10 The Real Cost Of Keeping The Doors Open
    35:38 Why Customer Follow-Up Is A Profit Leak
    41:31 What Happens If You Disappear For A Month
    Home service business profitability starts with asking these questions before they cost you more. If one of them made you uncomfortable while you listened, that is usually the one I would start with.

    Why Employee Turnover Is One Of Your Biggest Hidden Profit Leaks with Reggie Brock

    07.09.2026 | 47 Min.
    Hidden Profit Leaks are not always about money spent wrong. Sometimes they are about the employees who walked out the door. In this episode, I sat down with Reggie Brock of Propel Your Culture. He showed me why losing good employees drains more from a business than most owners ever calculate.
    Reggie talks about building a destination business, a place people never want to leave. We walked through the real math behind employee turnover. It explains a lot about why cash disappears in my business more than I realized. If you have ever felt the weight of home service owner burnout trying to hold your team together, or wondered where the profit leaks in a home service business are actually hiding, this conversation will hit close to home.
    What You'll Learn:
    Why a $200,000 profit leak might be hiding in your turnover numbers

    How to build what Reggie calls a destination business people never want to leave

    The one exercise that gets your team to finally say what they are really thinking

    Why quiet quitting costs more than the employee who actually walks out

    How the real cost of replacing an employee compares to their full salary

    The simple shift that can send $100,000 straight back to your bottom line

    Key Moments:
    0:44 Meet Reggie Brock And Propel Your Culture
    13:46 What Is A Destination Business
    15:34 The Sea Island Story Behind The Idea
    17:06 The Trust Exercise That Rebuilds Teams
    19:18 What Employees Are Really Afraid To Say
    31:02 The Real Cost Of Losing An Employee
    33:31 Why Quiet Quitting Costs More Than You Think
    37:31 How This Shift Adds $100K To Your Bottom Line
    If you have been chasing profit leaks in home services for a while now, do not overlook your own team. Sometimes the biggest leak is not a line item at all, it is the people you have already lost.

    The Hiring Process Behind Real Labor Efficiency That Boosts Profits and Drives 94% Employee Retention with Paul Sanneman

    31.08.2026 | 45 Min.
    Labor efficiency in home services starts long before someone clocks in for their first job. It starts with who you hire and how you hire them. That is what I discussed this week with Paul Sanneman, founder of Contractor Staffing Source, a company built entirely around solving the hiring and recruiting side of home service businesses.
    Paul has personally overseen more than 5,000 hires. His system gets a 94 percent retention rate, almost double the industry average. We get into the hiring myths that quietly raise your home service labor costs. We also cover why 'hire fast' and 'fire slow' is a trap, and the exact steps that protect you from a bad hire.
    What You'll Learn:
    Why treating hiring like an afterthought quietly kills labor efficiency

    How one bad hire can cost you tens of thousands before you notice

    The myth that keeps contractors stuck hiring fast and firing slow

    Why responding to an applicant within a minute changes who you land

    How a real hiring process gets you a 94 percent retention rate

    The background check step most owners skip until it costs them

    Why onboarding takes months, not days, if you want it to work

    Key Moments:
    2:52 The 94 Percent Retention Number Behind The System
    4:24 The Hiring Myths Keeping Contractors Short Staffed
    7:34 Why It Can Take 300 Resumes To Find One Hire
    10:44 The 'Hire Fast' 'Fire Slow' Mistake
    14:11 The Job Ad Formula That Gets Applicants
    16:46 Why Responding In Real Time Wins The Best Candidates
    22:18 Why Skipping A Background Check Gets Expensive
    40:25 Paul's Hidden Profit Leak
    A weak hiring process is one of the most common operational profit leaks I see in home service businesses. It shows up in contractor labor costs, in stalled home service business growth, and eventually in home service owner burnout, doing everyone's job yourself because you cannot trust anyone else to do it yet. Paul's process is built to protect technician productivity from day one, not fix it after the fact.

    Lead Conversion For Contractors Starts With Your CSR Team With Michelle Myers

    24.08.2026 | 41 Min.
    Lead conversion for contractors starts long before a job gets scheduled. It starts the moment someone picks up your phone. My guest today is Michelle Myers from Pink Callers, an outsourced CSR company built for our industry. Michelle and I talked about why more leads won't fix your margins if your team cannot close the ones you already have.
    We got into the real numbers behind home service marketing conversion, including how many calls a good CSR should handle and when dispatching inefficiencies start costing you technicians. Michelle also shared what it actually costs when you lose a CSR too soon, and why that number is higher than most owners realize.
    What You'll Learn:
    Why lead conversion for contractors depends more on your team than your ads

    How many calls a good CSR should take before quality starts to slip

    The real cost of losing a customer service rep too soon

    When dispatching inefficiencies mean it is time to hire a second dispatcher

    What a floor coating business taught Michelle about patience with marketing

    The one habit quietly draining profit through old subscriptions

     
    Key Moments:
    0:35 Meet Michelle Myers From Pink Callers
    3:06 What Pink Callers Actually Does For Contractors
    7:58 The Real Industry Standard For Close Rate
    12:43 The Hidden Cost Of Losing A CSR
    14:28 How Many Calls A CSR Should Handle
    19:31 A Marketing Lesson From A Floor Coating Business
    24:06 When Dispatching Inefficiencies Signal It Is Time To Grow
    33:54 The Subscription Habit Quietly Draining Your Profit
    If you have been chasing more leads without fixing your estimate follow-up, this episode will change how you think about growth. Operational profit leaks like this one are quiet, but they are some of the most expensive habits in a home service business.
