Send us a textCommunication might be the most underrated skill in the home service industry. While technical expertise is essential, how you speak to homeowners often determines whether you close the sale or walk away empty-handed.Jefferson Fisher, an attorney and communication expert, offers a perspective-shifting insight that could transform your approach: "The person you see isn't the person you're talking to." When you step into a customer's home to fix their AC or repair a plumbing issue, you're entering a private world layered with stresses that have nothing to do with HVAC or plumbing. They might be dealing with a sick parent, financial pressure, or workplace stress. Recognizing this hidden dimension and leading with empathy isn't just good manners—it's good business.Your words function as tools just as important as your wrenches and gauges. The distinction between saying "this is your only choice" versus "let me walk you through some options" can completely transform customer receptivity. Through powerful real-world examples—including the story of a technician who proved his thoroughness by pointing out an intact cobweb across a crawl space entrance—we see how authentic communication builds the trust that leads to sales. The most successful service professionals don't just fix problems; they create comfort, security, and peace of mind by approaching every conversation with empathy, choosing their words carefully, and genuinely seeking to understand their customers' needs.Ready to elevate your communication skills and close more calls the right way? Listen to discover the three key takeaways that can transform your approach to in-home sales.

Send us a textForget everything you thought you knew about marketing in the home services industry. In this eye-opening conversation, Ryan Chute, partner at Wizard of Ads, shatters conventional wisdom about lead generation and reveals the three essential components of effective marketing strategy that most businesses entirely miss.Ryan breaks down why your marketing efforts must go beyond simple lead generation tactics to create meaningful customer relationships. Through vivid analogies and practical insights, he explains how brand activation, sales activation, and prospect portals work together to make your business the obvious choice when customers need your services. It's not about being the cheapest or having the most reviews – it's about creating emotional connections that position your business as the trustworthy solution.The psychology behind customer decision-making takes center stage as Ryan reveals why empathy must precede competence in every customer interaction. He introduces the concept of "tantric selling" – a patient approach to sales that meets customers where they are financially and emotionally in today's uncertain economic climate. This strategy recognizes that breaking the first seal of trust is more important than immediately pushing for maximum ticket size.Perhaps most valuable is Ryan's breakdown of how to structure pricing presentations that tell a compelling story, positioning financing prominently rather than as an afterthought. He explains why your operations must support your marketing promises, why tension can be beneficial while friction destroys momentum, and how to build what he calls a "marketing mansion" in customers' minds instead of just dumping a pile of undifferentiated bricks like your competitors.Ready to transform your approach to marketing and sales?
