On this episode of the Torsion Talk Podcast, host Ryan Lucia shares practical leadership, marketing, and sales lessons from inside a real garage door company. Ryan opens with a quick update on the sports card side business he started with his son and how he's using it to teach money and business.Ryan then breaks down important Google Business Profile changes, including built-in post scheduling and multi-location publishing, and explains how local service companies can use them to save time and stay visible during the busy season. From there he dives into the “ever-changing landscape of leadership” after stepping back into Aaron Overhead Doors to run residential operations. He talks about vulnerability, reconnecting with his team, anonymous quarterly surveys, and the reality that there's a limit to how many people one leader can truly lead well.He shares how EOS and weekly Level 10 meetings are helping his company list issues, track metrics, and replace broken workarounds with real systems. Ryan explains why owners must listen past rough blue-collar delivery, invite honest complaints, and stop letting their team “protect” them from bad news. He also talks about hiring international executive assistants, losing a long-time key employee, and why he believes this is the time to level up talent even when cash feels tight.Later in the episode, Ryan unpacks consolidation in the garage door and home service market, private equity and big brands entering Atlanta, and what “max pain” feels like when demand stalls and small operators get squeezed. He shares why he thinks Atlanta may be coming out of max pain, why he's investing more into sales and marketing instead of cutting them, and why SEO-only strategies are over. He urges dealers to build automation and communication workflows and partner closely with their marketing agencies so they're ready when the rebound hits.Ryan closes with one key sales takeaway: never leave a sales call without another follow-up appointment on the calendar. He shows exactly how to set that next call after the customer gets other quotes so you can compare options, protect your close rate, and win more jobs.Find Ryan at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://garagedooru.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aaronoverheaddoors.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://markinuity.com/⁠Check out our sponsors!Sommer USA - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://sommer-usa.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Surewinder - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://surewinder.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stealth Hardware - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://quietmydoor.com/⁠

In this episode, Ryan gets real about one of the biggest problems plaguing garage door companies right now: poor lead handling. From slow follow-up to lack of online booking and outdated contact methods, most companies are leaking leads—and it's costing them big.Ryan kicks things off with a raw conversation about where marketing and operations need to improve during tough economic times. He breaks down insights from AI tools like Gemini, showing how consumer anxiety is changing buying behavior in home services, especially as high interest rates and job market uncertainty put pressure on big-ticket installs.He walks through the hard truths around the "stay-put economy" and how this is actually an opportunity for repair-focused service companies to gain market share—if they're ready. If you're running lean, you've got to make every lead count. Ryan explains why live chat, texting, online booking, and fast response times are mission-critical right now—and why just relying on forms and phone calls isn't cutting it anymore.Ryan shares a failed experiment with relying too much on AI for CSR work and why, even with automation, humans still play a vital role. He reflects on what he learned running a live chat company for seven years, including data from top websites that prove how conversions increase by up to 30% with live chat—and that phone calls remain mostly unaffected. If you're not using these tools, you're leaving easy money on the table.He also shares current SEO tips, including the rising importance of Google Business Profile optimization, velocity of reviews, and why showing pricing on your website can significantly boost rankings and conversions. Ryan encourages everyone to produce more short-form video, and highlights some companies already doing it well.The episode closes with a message of encouragement and reality: many companies are feeling the heat, but you're not alone. Whether you're thriving or barely hanging on, now is the time to grind, to simplify, and to execute the basics with excellence. This is where companies are made—or broken.

SHOW NOTES: Welcome to The Money Pit! We're here every week to help you protect your biggest investment – your home sweet home – and make sure it doesn't become a bottomless money pit. We've got a busy hour planned, diving into seasonal home maintenance musts. Join us for today's topics, including: - Reclaiming Your Yard with Hardscapes: Learn how Pavestone products can help you ditch constant mowing, weeding, and watering while boosting your curb appeal. We'll discuss ideas for creating stunning, smart, and sustainable outdoor spaces. - Essential Garage Door Maintenance: The garage door is the biggest moving part of your home, and we'll share simple tips to keep it running smoothly, safely, and quietly before it becomes dangerous and expensive. - Winterizing Your Sprinkler System: Before the first deep freeze hits, we detail the crucial fall task of shutting down your in-ground sprinkler system to prevent serious and costly damage.   Q & A: - Margaret's home has ceramic bathroom tiles confirmed to contain lead, and she needs questions to ask contractors who seem unaware of safe removal requirements. We advise her to seek a contractor who is EPA certified in lead paint renovation or removal. - Gonzalo successfully reduced his home's air infiltration through air sealing, but is concerned there may still be leaks. We recommend using specific science to locate drafts rather than guessing. - Bobby in Virginia notices a small amount of water in his basement after heavy rains, which he suspects is due to hydrostatic pressure. We suspect the problem is caused by bad grading and drainage outside the foundation, and urge him to extend his gutters and downspouts farther from the house perimeter. - Lillian in Florida is dealing with worms that repeatedly crawl onto her screened-in patio! We explain that worms come out after heavy rain because they breathe through their skin and need oxygen when the soil gets too wet. - Allan in North Dakota wants to reseed his lawn and asked if seeding right before the snow falls is the correct timing. We confirmed that fall is the best time for reseeding, but advised him not to wait until winter is approaching.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

He took a 70-year-old garage door company and transformed it into a global tech powerhouse with 14M+ connected users.
