Neither had roofed a day in their lives — then they bought a roofing company and doubled it. Tim Wilde and his wife Sasha bought Sexton Roofing & Siding in Western Massachusetts in 2023 — a 40-year-old brand the previous owner ran solo at about $2 million a year, working 16-hour days, seven days a week. Neither of them had ever roofed: Tim came out of corporate pharmaceutical-construction consulting, and Sasha has an MBA and always wanted to run a business. When a corporate takeover pushed Tim out, and a friend showed them you could simply buy a business, they did. The first year nearly broke them. They priced with “a finger in the air,” had no idea what a good margin was, and kept winning on low bids. Then they found CertainPath — Tim signed up at a Profit Day on the spot — and the turnaround began: fixing their pricing first, then rebuilding sales around an in-home, one-call-close process. Two years in, they've doubled the business past $4 million, they're targeting $6.5 million, and Tim personally sold $2 million to become a CertainPath roofing crown champion. And it's 100% woman-owned — Sasha owns it outright, and Tim jokes he's “just cheap labor.” In this conversation, you'll discover: How two people with zero trade experience bought a 40-year-old roofing company off a broker Why the acquisition was tougher than they expected — and what they'd do differently The “finger in the air” pricing mistake CertainPath fixed first How moving to an in-home presentation unlocked one-call closes Why being the most thorough person at the door — the one who actually goes in the attic — wins the job The CertainPath training moment that took Tim from “doing sales completely wrong” to a crown champion How they think about growth: taking “a smaller piece of a larger pie” Whether you run a roofing, HVAC, plumbing, or electrical company, Tim and Sasha's story shows how to buy a business, raise your prices, and build a sales process that actually closes. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

The race to build AI infrastructure is often framed around the availability of power, chips, and capital.  But another critical constraint is becoming impossible to ignore: skilled labor. In this episode, Shayle sits down with Raymond Hawkins, chief customer officer at Compass Datacenters, about why a shortage of qualified electricians has emerged as one of the biggest bottlenecks to data center construction, and how the industry is responding.  Hawkins explains that labor shortages aren't preventing new data centers from being built, but they are driving up costs, extending project timelines, and forcing developers to compete aggressively for experienced electricians. As AI demand accelerates, companies are increasingly moving workers across the country, housing them near construction sites, and relying on a traveling workforce much like the healthcare industry relies on travel nurses. At the same time, demand is surging for highly specialized professionals capable of installing the sophisticated electrical systems that modern AI data centers require.  Hawkins also explores how modular construction and prefabrication are reshaping the way data centers are built, and how, as data centers expand into new markets, developers must become more transparent about their projects to earn a community's trust.  Shayle and Raymond discuss:- Why electricians have become one of the biggest constraints on AI data center growth - How workforce shortages are changing hiring, training, and construction practices - Compass Datacenters' partnership with community colleges to develop skilled labor - The role of modular construction and prefabrication in reducing labor demands - Strategies for earning community support through transparency, workforce investment, and responsible infrastructure development Resources: Catalyst: The State of Play of Data Center Development Catalyst: AI Scaling Pathways: On Grid, On Edge, Off Grid, Off Planet Latitude Media: As community scrutiny grows, data center developers turn to on-site power Latitude Media: The mechanics of data center flexibility Latitude Media: The off-grid data center fantasy  Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

Most electricians do this backwards.  I break down why firing bullets first, at one hyper-specific target market, is what actually brings ideal clients into your electrical business.

How should a small electrical contractor charge for service work: flat-rate pricing or time and material?In this episode, Paul Abernathy breaks down the differences between these two common pricing methods and explains how each can affect profitability, customer relationships, cash flow, and business growth.Flat-rate pricing gives the customer an agreed price before the work begins and rewards the contractor for experience and efficiency. However, it also places more risk on the contractor if the job takes longer than expected or the original scope is poorly defined.Time-and-material pricing allows the contractor to charge for the actual labor and materials required to complete the work.This can be especially valuable when troubleshooting electrical problems or working with unknown existing conditions. However, customers may become uncomfortable when they do not know the final cost, and highly experienced electricians may earn less simply because they complete the work faster.This episode explains where each pricing method works best and why many small electrical contractors may benefit from using a combination of both.Topics covered include:The fundamental difference between flat-rate and time-and-material pricing.Which party accepts the risk under each pricing method.Why time and material works well for troubleshooting and unknown conditions.How flat-rate pricing rewards training, experience, and efficiency.The dangers of underestimating flat-rate work.Why an hourly billing rate must cover more than an electrician's wages.Material markup versus gross-profit margin.Diagnostic fees and service-call charges.Time and material with a not-to-exceed authorization.Fixed pricing for predictable electrical work.Written scopes, exclusions, and change orders.The importance of tracking labor, materials, callbacks, and warranty costs.Why job costing is essential under either pricing method.How to explain pricing professionally to customers.When a contractor should consider declining a job.Paul also explains why copying another contractor's hourly rate or flat-rate price book can be dangerous. Every electrical contracting business has different labor costs, overhead, insurance expenses, productivity levels, service areas, risks, and financial goals.The customer is not merely paying for the time an electrician spends performing a task. The customer is paying for training, licensing, experience, tools, insurance, availability, testing, warranty responsibility, and a safe professional result.Whether you are preparing to start an electrical contracting business or trying to improve the profitability of an existing company, this episode will help you make better pricing decisions and understand the true value of the professional electrical services you provide.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/master-the-nec-podcast--1083733/support.Struggling with the National Electrical Code?

In this episode of Construction Corner, host Dillon sits down with his business partner John Molak, who took anything but a traditional path — from a short stint in college to becoming a licensed journeyman electrician, then pivoting into lighting sales, and eventually co-founding a fast-growing electrical engineering firm in Chicago.The conversation covers his journey from doing demo work for a buddy's uncle to traveling the country on industrial job sites, landing in distribution sales, and spotting a gap in the market that nobody else was filling: engineering services sold direct to contractors. With 10X growth on the horizon in year three, he breaks down what it actually takes to build a company from scratch — bootstrapping cash flow, finding the right people, building a real culture, and never being afraid to seize an opportunity.They also get into the importance of networking (including how the Arete Syndicate connected them), the challenge of hiring engineers who are willing to talk to clients, and why "people is the business."Whether you're a tradesperson thinking about making the leap or a contractor looking for a better way to work with engineers, this episode is packed with hard-won lessons from someone who figured it out by just going for it.

Now he sells $10 million of HVAC a year — and he never pressures a homeowner to do it. Caleb Holte is a comfort advisor at Fix-It 24/7 in Denver, and a two-time Crown Champion who has sold roughly $10 million of residential HVAC. But he didn't come up through the trades. He came from AT&T and Verizon sales, a cutthroat stint in finance, even bodybuilding — and most recently medical device sales, where dinners with surgeons felt fake and “performative.” So he traded it all for the blue truck. His start was brutal. His GM handed him a truck, some keys, and told him to “go fail forward.” He went 0-for-5 on his first drive and figured he was about to get fired. What turned it around wasn't pressure — it was a journal: after every call he wrote down three things that went well and three that didn't, until the patterns became second nature. Across this conversation with host Bob Houchin, Caleb breaks down his entire in-home process — positioning himself as a “field supervisor” instead of a “comfort advisor,” price conditioning and extreme anchoring (including the $45,000 system he shows every customer and refuses to sell), reading body language down to where a customer points their feet, getting objections out early, and the quiet discipline of “he who talks first loses.” He also gets honest about the part most salespeople skip — the heart behind it. Caleb prays in the truck before a call, treats every grandmother and single mom like his own family, and lives by a simple belief: anybody can close anybody. It's just whether or not you're the right guy. In this conversation, you'll discover: Why he positions himself as a “field supervisor,” never a “comfort advisor” The extreme-anchoring move: the $45,000 system he shows every customer and won't sell How to get customers to sell themselves instead of pitching them What a customer's feet — and a woman's hands — tell you about the sale “Easy pay,” not “financing”: the language that lowers the guard Why “he who talks first loses” after you slide over the price The journaling habit that took him from 0-for-5 to $10 million Whether you sell HVAC, plumbing, electrical, or roofing, Caleb's process shows how to close big without pressure — and keep your character intact. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

Three years later: $1.6 million. The difference wasn't luck — it was how they sell. Erwin Carrasquillo taught himself the electrical trade after coming to the United States — before he could even speak English. He and his son Owen built Jeoah Electric in Slatington, Pennsylvania on grit: borrowed crews, work that never turned into money in the bank, and a $15,000 payroll due against $200 in the account. The turning point came in a Home Depot aisle, when Owen asked a more successful electrician one question — "what are you doing that I'm not?" That question led them to a sales process they now run on every call. In this conversation, Erwin and Owen walk host Bob Houchin through it step by step — selling the diagnostic first, asking questions instead of pitching, building three options instead of ultimatums, and reframing price as safety. It's the system that took them from $600,000 to $1.6 million in three years, both earning Crown Champion honors. They're just as candid about the hard parts — the night Owen broke down finding his 'why,' the leap of faith that put the whole thing on a credit card, and the faith and family culture that held it all together. In this conversation, you'll discover: The questions that get customers to sell themselves Why you sell the diagnostic before you touch the panel How to present three options without giving ultimatums The "medicine analogy" that makes safety urgent How to handle "I need to think about it" in a single move Reframing price as monthly safety, not cost The mindset shift that turned survival into $1.6M Whether you're an electrician, a plumber, or an HVAC owner trying to get off the truck, Erwin and Owen's process shows how a small shop can sell with confidence and character. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

This is Bubba Thurman's story. Bubba Thurman is the president of Baker Brothers Plumbing, Air & Electric in Dallas–Fort Worth — the first non-family president in the company's history, dating back to its founding in 1945. Last year, Baker Brothers did $105 million in revenue and exceeded $18 million in EBITDA — a level of profitability most home services companies only dream about. His path was anything but linear. A Division-I baseball catcher who was certain he'd go pro, Bubba broke his back in a 1991 on-field collision and watched the dream die. “Baseball was a false well,” he says. He spent the next 22 years in ministry — helping build the largest youth ministry in the country and learning leadership under his mentor, Steve Stroop — before burning out and making an improbable leap into the trades. Recruited by Jimmie Dale to Baker Brothers, Bubba earned the team's trust the hard way: “I ran calls, I dug trenches, I wore a uniform.” Then he drove the culture transformation that helped take Baker Brothers from roughly $20 million to more than $100 million. In this episode, Bubba walks Bob Houchin through the whole journey — and the playbook beneath it. In this conversation, you'll discover: Why culture is “just a set of norms” — and how to make excellence the normal The $0 cleanliness campaign that started the turnaround: “don't step over a piece of trash” How to layer standards one at a time so they actually stick The three-win strategy that aligns the customer, the employee, and the company What changes when leadership “lands on your desk” — the real weight of the top job His message for a tough market: stop chasing what you can't control — “you are your best marketer” “You earn equity when you do things above and beyond” — and the Miss Johnson light-bulb test Why “when you roll up, the clock starts” — and how micro-changes compound across 700 jobs a day Whether you lead an HVAC, plumbing, electrical, or roofing company — or you're building toward your first leadership seat — Bubba's story is a masterclass in building a culture of excellence that scales. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

Last year he sold $800,000 in residential plumbing — and installed every job himself. This is his exact playbook. Payton Sword is a plumbing technician at Steve Huff Plumbing, Heating & Air in Kingsport, Tennessee — and a 4x Crown Champion at CertainPath, the program's top sales tier. Last year he sold roughly $800,000 in residential plumbing. No sales/install split, no handing the job off: every technician at Steve Huff sells the work and does the work. Payton was hired at 19 — at the same shop his dad worked for back in 1996. The company put him through 15 months of ride-alongs, trainings, and schools before he ever got his own truck. Today the shop's 12 plumbing technicians train four days every month: full service-call roleplays with homeowner personalities, DISC profiles, and a "switch method" that swaps techs mid-roleplay to keep everyone sharp. In this episode, Payton walks Bob Houchin through his entire service call, start to finish — from the drive-time research to the same-day install. In this conversation, you'll discover: • The $800K reveal — and why he installs every job he sells • The at-the-door credibility statement he delivers on every single call • Why he never asks permission to run the whole-house safety inspection — "it's a value creator" • Builder-grade vs. professional fixtures — and the restaurant question that sells Totos • The four-option presentation with everything on the top option • Present the top option, ask for the business — then go silent • "Is it only the money?" — his answer to "I should get another bid" • The authority close: "What were you expecting to spend today?" • Why the shop trains four days a month — and why it produces Crown Champions  Whether you run a plumbing company, manage a service team, or you're a tech chasing Crown Champion numbers — Payton's process is a masterclass in trust-first, education-driven selling. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

Most electricians hear "power outage" and immediately think: Generator.But what if a generator doesn't actually solve the problem?Because for thousands of homeowners working from home, the real threat isn't long outages, it's the 2-second power blip that crashes meetings, corrupts files, damages electronics, and destroys productivity.In this episode of MORE TO GIVE Series by Joseph Lucanie, we're breaking down a real-world service call involving two homeowners who work remotely and needed protection from constant brownouts and voltage fluctuations.And what we discovered opens the door to an entirely new category of electrical solutions most electricians aren't even offering yet. ________________________________________Grab The Free ResourceWant the complete pricing worksheet, option-building framework, and presentation process used in this episode?

This week on General Hospital, Josslyn Jacks caused a blackout at Wyndemere trying to escape, only to walk straight into Jenz Sidwell at the front door. Liesl Obrecht arrived demanding answers about Britt, called out Drew's SOS, blinking in front of Nina and Willow, and ended the week being grabbed by Cullum as a replacement for Britt on the project. Meanwhile, Brook Lynn watched Tracy's heart break when she warned her that if Chase had not cheated yet, he would, and by Friday, Brook Lynn was sitting with Lucy Coe asking for help. The week also brought Ethan confirming he is Phoebe's father and agreeing to a closed adoption, Sonny and Laura getting the photos out of Pascal's safe at Wyndemere, Lucas retrieving Marco's tie, and Kristina announcing she has been accepted to UCLA medical school. Plus the Port Charles Pipeline had some standout listener messages this week, Shannon and Amanda's reality checks, and a preview of Thursday's Port Charles 411 continuing the Willow and Nina series.

One comfort advisor in Boise, Idaho. Here's how Cord Nichols sells the top-tier system — every time. Cord Nichols isn't a closer who shows up Friday with a quote book. He's a comfort advisor at Diamond Heating & Cooling in Boise, Idaho — and he's quietly sold roughly $17 million in residential HVAC, including $2.25 million last year alone. He's a 7x Crown Champion at CertainPath, the program's top sales tier. Cord didn't start in HVAC. His first sales job was door-to-door — security in his early twenties. He moved to Utah looking for a wife, found her, then sold solar door-to-door before the solar industry tightened in the mid-2010s. Wanting a trade he could "sink his teeth into" — and not be a one-trick pony — he approached Diamond cold. He'd never sold HVAC. But owners Rick and Sue Ellen hired him for his sales background. Today he's a Dave Ramsey debt-free dad of four (with a fifth on the way) who recently paid off his mortgage — all on residential HVAC sales. In this episode, Cord walks Bob Houchin through the exact playbook — every question he asks, every option he names, every word he uses — for turning a single in-home consultation into a top-tier HVAC sale. In this conversation, you'll discover: • The $17M reveal — and the on-camera moment where Bob puts the career number on record • Why Cord opens every options reveal by repeating the customer's own words back to them • The Kia-vs-Toyota framing he uses to explain tiered HVAC systems in 30 seconds • The "Is there any reason I can't ask for your business today?" close — and the three answers it always produces • Why Cord names options after the customer's hobbies (the "14-Point Buck" move) • The clipboard intro that disarms skeptical homeowners ("I'm just going to be taking some notes") • "I am your one throat to choke" — the post-sale handoff line that earns lifelong customers  Whether you're a comfort advisor working to break $2M for the first time, a sales manager building a residential HVAC playbook, or an owner trying to understand what consistent top-tier closing looks like — Cord's process is a masterclass in trust-first, conviction-led HVAC sales. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

After several years selling door-to-door (security in his early twenties, then solar in Utah and Idaho), Cord joined Diamond with zero HVAC experience and a strong sales background. He's now a 7x CertainPath Crown Champion with roughly $17 million in residential HVAC sales — including $2.25 million in his most recent year. He lives in Boise with his wife and four kids (with a fifth on the way) and recently paid off his mortgage as a Dave Ramsey debt-free family. Connect CertainPath: https://www.mycertainpath.com Show Notes The Successful Contractor Podcast is part of the CertainPath family.
