John Jordan is a seasoned Maine lobsterman who has spent decades navigating the rugged waters of the North Atlantic. His unwavering dedication to preserving the integrity of Maine's lobstering industry has made him a respected voice in discussions surrounding sustainable fisheries, regulatory challenges, and the cultural importance of lobstering to Maine's identity. With over 35,000 hours on the water, John brings an unparalleled depth of experience and insight into the challenges facing traditional fishing communities. Devyn Campbell is a lifelong fisherman from Boothbay Harbor, Maine, deeply connected to the sea and the traditions of his coastal town. Known for his commitment to sustainable fishing practices and local advocacy, Devyn balances his time on the water with civic engagement, representing the voices of fishermen and coastal residents. As one of the youngest in his profession, Devyn carries a unique perspective on the generational challenges facing Maine's fishing industry, including shrinking fleets, regulatory pressures, and shifting local economies.
Interest rates, deregulation, and election outcomes could lead to new sector winners and losers.Portfolio Managers Josh Cummings and John Jordan explain why even as the outlook for earnings growth is strong for 2025, uncertainty around government policy, as well as the evolution of AI and rate moves, argue for a bottom-up approach to investing.

They tell the story of a 40-year struggle to preserve 4,000 acres of wetlands from being destroyed to make way for an airport, but the book is also a profound and beautiful meditation on what it means to live together and struggle together outside the logic of capitalist extraction and violence.Jay (formerly John) Jordan (they/them) is labelled a "Domestic Extremist" by the police, and “a magician of rebellion” by the press. Part-time author, sex worker and full time trouble maker, Jay is a lover of edges, especially between art and activism. They co-founded Reclaim the streets and the clown army.Isabelle Fremeaux (she/her) is a popular educator, facilitator, action researcher and deserter of the neoliberal academy where for a decade she was Senior Lecturer at Birkbeck College London. Co-author (with Jay) of the film/book Les Sentiers de L'utopie (2011, La Découverte), together they coordinate The Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination, bringing artists and activists together to co-design and deploy tools of disobedience.

Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis
Today, we hear from one of the unsung heroes of our hiking world. He's not a thru-hiker–though his son did one–but he's a member of the Board of ALDHA, the Appalachian Long Distance Hikers Association. Where the ATC concerns itself with the well-being of the trail itself, ALDHA focuses on hikers. John joined the board quite recently and is coordinating the ALDHA Care project, bringing a new enthusiasm to the role as he works out the best way to assist hiker hostels and, by association, hikers. You can find out more about both the work of ALDHA and ALDHA Care at the links below. Check them out. https://aldha.org/ https://aldha.org/volunteer/aldhacare Our latest member of the Mighty Blue Class of 23 is Dale Shotkoski. Dale looks to me as if his trail name is a bit of a shoe-in!! You can follow Dale on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/daleshotkoski/ Doctor Lynne is back again. This week,she brings us up to date with the latest information regarding hypothermia. I've created a Google Drive Doctor Lynne file.

Retaining Top Talent: How Plumbing and HVAC businesses can keep and attract the best employees I am your host, Corey Berrier. And today, folks, we're on a little bit different episode. First, I want to thank you. I want to thank you so much for supporting this show. Thank you so much for helping us get ranked top 5% worldwide. It's pretty dope. I also want to thank our military and every person that has served. Heck, I want to thank the people getting ready to serve. My neighbor just put a sign in his yard. Said the making of a marine or something like that. In other words, kids going to the Marines. I think that's great. My brother was a Marine, so I became a father, not a father. Jesus, an uncle of four overnight. My little brother had our newest edition to our Berrier family, and his name is Ryle, his Middle name is Prince, and his last name is Berrier, which I think is a pretty dope name. I like it. I like it because it's different. It's super different. And you're probably thinking, Corey, I cannot believe your white brother named his kid print. How in the world did that happen, Corey? Here's a story behind that. It's not what you think. He didn't name the kid after Prince, the freaking singer. His wife, Michelle, the baby's mother, last name was Prince. So it's a pretty cool story if you ask me. Congratulations to Josh on also adopting your two newest kids; I guess that is what you would say. They're not even new kids, but Josh adopted Landon and Sydney, so that's how I became an uncle of four because of his other Daughter, Ivy. So now, just to wrap up for you, Josh adopted two kids on Wednesday. He had a kid on Wednesday,, and he already had a kid, so that makes me uncle A four. Today you'll get to hear the exact talk that I gave at Connect. So I decided I had got, I've gotten a lot of messages about people that had not, didn't, didn't get to see it, didn't get to. Sit in on the presentation, so I just decided to record it, and here it is Today. You, you're gonna get to listen to it on here. It is also on YouTube. I probably already mentioned that, but you should also check that out. The link will be in the show notes. We will see you on the other side. Rock and roll. My name is Corey Barrier, I am sales CEO, and last Wednesday, I gave my talk on retaining top talent. How plumbing and HVAC businesses can keep and attract their best employees. Now, I know a lot of you didn't make it to the talk, and I see a lot of you wanted to make it to the conference because I got to talk to you afterward and you were disappointed that you missed the conversation. And I understand because this is a really big deal right now. In the trades, this is such a big deal. If you wanna, go ahead and scan that QR code, that'll take you to all of my information. A few things about me. I am a number one best seller on Amazon. Nine Simple Steps to Sell More Shit. I host the Successful Life Podcast, in which we are ranked top 5% worldwide. I own multiple businesses. I am the winner. Of the North Carolina C Golden Toilet Award, which I am unbelievably grateful for, and I now chair the North Carolina Auxiliary Committee. So that's a little bit about me. Now is a little bit more about, is a little bit more about my history and some things that I've gone through. Training Bra I had a pretty good childhood. I'll be honest with you. I have two great parents, but when I was 12 years old, I just graduated from my sixth-grade class with straight A's and one B. The only year I made Straight A's and one B. We were at a graduation party with some of my friends. I had jumped off the diving board and popped out the other end of the pool. And these three girls, the cutest three girls in the whole school,, were at the end of the pool. And so I got out, and they asked me if I would go jump off the diving board again. So I'm thinking they think I'm cute, right? Why else would they ask me to go jump off the diving board? I confidently walked back, got to the diving board, walked out to the end, and bounced up and down. Do you know what I mean? I jump into the pool, and I get back out, and they ask me to do it again, and I'm like, Ooh, man. For sure, I'm in there without a shadow of a doubt. I'm in there and about halfway back to the pool. The diving board in one of the girls says, Hey Corey, you ever thought about wearing a training bra? Nope. I had not ever thought about wearing a training bra. Now you can imagine the sheer embarrassment, the humiliation that I felt that day. Now, rightly I was a fat kid. I'll be honest with you. I am super grateful to those three girls for calling me out and embarrassing the daylights outta me because I got off my butt and lost weight, and I've never gained it back. and I've been healthy ever since. So I appreciate that, that awful situation that happened to me now for me instead. So by the age of 22, I racked up three DUIs. 20. By 2005, I was caught with four ounces of cocaine, and fortunately, I hired a costly lawyer and spent six months in a re-inpatient rehab facility. It was an absolute nightmare, but it was better than prison. And so one would've thought I would've straightened up at that point, but I didn't. I kept drinking because drinking was my friend. Now, while I was in that rehab center, I got married, un, I didn't really wanna get married, but I didn't have a driver's license, so I had to get married, selfish. I know. And I wouldn't make that same decision today. That day I did. And so 2009 rolled around, and it was time for me to get my driver's license back. And so that process after eight years is you gotta go in front of the DMV and you gotta explain why you should drive again, and you gotta bring witnesses and all kinds of stuff. And so I did that, and successfully, I walked out of there with a driver's license under a few con conditions. Those conditions were. I had to get an ignition interlock put in my car, which was a big old black, it was a little bit, it was about that long. So it was longer than this, way more prominent, and you just, you had to go, type these numbers in and dig digits in the right way and below, like your brain's gonna. and so naturally, I agreed to that because that was a good deal for me, even though it was for seven years. And at the time, I thought, I cannot believe they gave me seven years Today. I am grateful they gave me seven years because it took that long for me to realize. I don't mean alcohol in my life. I did stop drinking in 2009, but I can't promise you. I wouldn't put my money on myself if that device hadn't forced me because I'll tell you what happened, and this is when I had to make a decision. And a lot of you will understand this. Sometimes you gotta decide on your business. It's a hard decision to make, but you just have to decide to move forward and whatever happens. And so after I got that thing put in my car, I set it off again, or I set it off. And I had to go immediately down to the DMV and explain to that same lady why I just set this thing off after I just told her I quit drinking. And so I got out of that. I talked my way out of that, and I'm grateful for that lady Today because she could have I could have ruined my life by making that decision. She could have enforced what she promised, what she should have implemented, which was for me not to drive. But I'm grateful that she gave me some grace that day. And we don't always get grace in life, but sometimes we need it, and sometimes we need it in our business. And sometimes you gotta ask for help, and people are okay helping, but you gotta ask for it anyway. So she explained very clearly to me, Corey if I ever. , if I ever see your face in this office again, you will never drive on the streets of North Carolina again. Do you understand? Yes, ma'am. And I knew right then my nine lives were gone. I had no more opportunities. I had no more chances. I had no more mess-ups. I had no more, No, I was done, and I knew I was done. And so I had a choice to make. And that choice was to go down this route that I've taken you down today and keep doing that over and over or fast forward and become sales ceo. And so that's what I. So Today we're gonna get into what you came here about, which is how, how to retain talent. Business owners that have ADHD have a superpower [audio mp3="https://coreyberrier.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/retaining-Top-Talent-PHCC.mp3"][/audio] 60% of business owners, six out of 10 people. And if you're wondering why I'm talking about ADHD, I'm talking to you. You're a business owner. 60% of us have ADHD. We're lots of us are visionaries, right? And a lot of you will recognize this. You can see the bigger picture in your business. You can see how things are gonna work, right? You can understand the overall vision of where you're going. Whether you can explain that or not, that's a different story. But the integrator in this scenario is the person that defines and implements it, right? You come up with a grandiose idea. You have somebody else implement it, you're good at one or two for sure, one or two things, but there's a lot of things you're not good at, right? Like marketing, we all suck at marketing. So why would you try to do your own marketing? It doesn't make sense. If you suck at your books, stop doing your books. Let somebody else do your books, Pay them to do your books, and you do another. Or whatever it is. But look, you gotta work on your business, not in it. Many times, people, business owners, in particular, see those five steps ahead. This is not gonna be very politically correct, so you just listen to the story and don't; it's just a story. So it's a made-up story. Jack comes to you, he's been your service technician for two and a half years. You love Jack. He's good. Jack is a bit promiscuous, and you know this, and y'all have talked about it, and whatever, not a big deal. But now the day has come, and Jack has gotten the bartender pregnant. Jack doesn't wanna have a baby with the bartender, the baby, the bartender wants to have the baby, but she's open to talking, right? So Jack's talking to you, the owner. about what to do in your mind as he's telling you this story. You know exactly what's gonna happen if he has that baby or if he doesn't have that baby. His life is gonna change drastically beyond recognition if he has that baby. If he doesn't have that baby, his life may not change. Very much. Again, we're not talking about the moral thing to do here. We're talking about you, the visionary, being able to see those steps ahead, and so now that I've laid that out there for you, that should entirely make sense, but sometimes we have a hard time explaining that to Jack. Hey brother, this is what's gonna happen if you do this. This is what's gonna happen if you do that. And sometimes people don't wanna listen, or maybe we don't explain it right? I'm not sure. But either way, it all comes down to communication, which leads me to how you communicate. Now think about this for I; I'll just tell you a quick story. The other day I was coming into my garage. I was coming home, and I was thinking about it. A conversation my wife and I had about a political issue. I've been thinking about it for about three minutes, so I come in the house as I'm still thinking about it, and I start talking to my wife about this thing. But I start three minutes into the conversation that I've had with myself and my wife's Dude What are you like, what are you talking about? You came in halfway through the exchange. It felt like. . Oh, that's right. You're right. I did. Sorry, I had that other half in my head. Now my wife knows that about me. Your employees don't know that about you. So my point is, how often do you think that happens in your business? How often does the communication fall through the cracks between your CSRs, your customers, and your employees to employees? Like the list goes on and on. Do you get what I'm saying here? Communication is absolute. Is so essential and is the least it's the least focused area where I see most companies. So the 7 38 55 rule, 7% of the words we use in communication affect our communication set. 7% of our communication is the words that we use. 38% of our communication is the tonality that we use. It's the voice inflection, the speeding up, the slowing down, or the late-night DJ voice. You see how that slowed your brain down quickly, and then I moved it quickly. See what I mean? The point is that tonality is really, I. Now imagine when your customer calls and they're in a panic in your CSR or CCR answers the phone; welcome to A plus Plumbing. This is Mary. How can I help you? Which is how she should answer it, right? But then Mary doesn't understand emotional intelligence. Mary Holy My Water and Mary's. Yeah, no problem. Let me get your phone number and see if I can get some information. No. Mary. Mary, I am Miss Mr. Customer. Miss Custer. I am so sorry. I am so sorry that's happened to you. I cannot imagine what you're going through. Do me a favor if you'll slow down for a quick second. Let me get some information because I know this is important. I'm gonna make sure I get somebody out there immediately. But what you want to do with that CSR is train them to slow their voice down because it slows the brain down of the person that you're speaking to. And if you've got a reactive customer on the phone, you want them to calm down because you're gonna have a more accessible call. You're gonna get the information a lot easier, a lot better. Clear. More concise in your CSR or CCR is not gonna be rushed, and they're not gonna make mistakes. This is important. This is exceptionally high-level stuff. Probably should not have gone into it that deep. So if you have questions about that, you'll feel free to reach out. So 55% of our communication is our body language, right? We think about our hands, and we think about our feet or our body, but we don't think about them. Hey, Corey. Your hair looks stupid, right? You can see right then. I don't, I didn't like that comment. Hey, Corey, you look pretty hot Today, right? You can tell dogs can tell by body language when you get upset. Your dog runs under the table. What do you think's happening? He knows, or she knows. Whatever it is, you ain't. And so body language is critical, and when we're talking about this with your service technicians, when they're standing in the house and they've got their hands in their pocket, and they're slouched over and their shirt tails out, what image does that put in your head when I describe it? Not the kind of guy you want in your house, but most of your guys do that. How do I know that? Most of the people I work with, they have to have issues. Is it every one of your guys who know? But do you have guys that do it? Absolutely. You do. Look at the guys that have the crappiest numbers. They're the guys that are not doing their job. It's straightforward. And if you don't know their numbers well, that's ridiculous. And you want 'em to be congruent, right? You want, Here's what I mean by congruency. So if you're a technician, does. Not or CSR doesn't know the answer to a question, please advise them not to lie because the customer knows that you're lying. Say, Mr. Customer, that is a great question. And you know what? I'm relatively new here. I have not ever been asked that question. I can put you on hold quickly, shouldn't take but more than 30 seconds, no more than 30 seconds, or Ms. Jones. If it makes more sense, I can call you back when it's most convenient. But it's all about the delivery. It's all about being honest, and it's just telling the customer where you're at. And if your CSRs are new, train them to tell the freaking customer, Hey, Mr. Customer, I'm a little bit new in this role. Is there any way I could get you to slow down? Just for a quick second? I just wanna make sure that I get everything on this computer. So when the technician gets to your house, there are zero questions about what they need to do to solve your problem. Now, how many people are gonna be upset when you say that? None. That's how many mirrors, right? I explain this to you. You are going to think there's no way this is gonna work. You're also gonna think I'm gonna get caught. Corey, you're also gonna think this sounds crazy. So here's what I want you to do. If you are a service technician, let's pretend I'm the service technician and my alter ego is Bob, right? Bob is gonna start talking, and man, I'm the service technician for a plus plumbing. Bob says, Repeat the last three to five words. The other person. Service technician. The other person said, Question mark Bob. Yeah. Yeah. Allow the customer to tell you more information. More information. Yeah. Yeah. Corey, it makes the customer feel heard and understood. Makes the customer feel heard and understood. Yeah. Yeah. It makes 'em feel like you give a. Do you see what I'm saying? If you, but you gotta do this the right way. And it takes repetition. And it takes practice. But it's something that also gives you the ability to let that person know that you've been heard, they've been heard, your customer. They want to know you're listening to them. Even if you're not listening to them. Repeat the last couple of words, and you'll figure it out. I'm not suggesting that you do that, but if you get caught without anything to say, then you have it. There's an easy way for you to bounce that. In other words, let's just pretend for a second you zone out, right? Like I, I do that from time to time. Zone out or blank out. Y'all caught that earlier. I thought I think and hear you finish the sentence, but I hear those last two to three words. I can repeat those back no matter what I hear. So just remember that. Use that as a safety blanket to be successful. On this next one, we've got, this is what you guys are, a lot of, you all have an asked about Gen Zs and millennials, right? The difference in the years. You can see 97 to 2012 and 81 for millennials to 96. It's a big difference between those generations. If you're the average plumber in North Carolina, you're about 62. 63 years old, you are having trouble identifying with what the younger generation needs and wants because it's very different than what we needed and wanted when we were coming up. And it's great to have gen's ears around your business because they can freshen it up a little. Not make it look so stale. You've been doing the same stuff for 30 years. You can't expect everything to work as it did 30 years ago. But we do think that, right? And it's crazy. And not me; I'll get into the recruiting portion in a minute. So did you know that employees, and by the way, I'm doing this talk just like I did it PHCC Connect. So this first line is screwed up. Employees value training opportunities more than they do the employer. The employer doesn't appreciate training as much as the employee. Is that bizarre or what? We're getting into the younger generation. They value training, they value development, and love. Being a part of a good culture, they value feeling like you care about them. I'll be honest with you, we've seen companies that pay less than others but have a good culture. The money doesn't matter. I know that sounds nuts. Your mind's blown right, and I get that. Because it's weird sounding to think that, to believe that money doesn't matter as much as those other things, but it's true. Check this out. 76% of millennials believe professional development opportunities are the most critical aspects of company culture. So that's important. How is your company culture? When I say company culture, do people look forward? To work for you? Do they love coming to work? Do they look forward? I don't know. But that's a crucial question that you need to ask yourself. All right, so 60, 60% of millennials want. Leadership training. Is that crazy or what? 60% of millennials want leadership training. Four 43% of managers who have been in their roles for less than a year say they've had no training. 43%, 67% of Gen X leaders want more external coaching, and 57% want external development. It's important to pour into your team. Lots of times, that takes having great conversations. Learning more about them as a person, what they like, what they don't like. Virtual training, statistics. Unfortunately, we've all, or fortunately, I know a lot of people that have done, I do most of my coaching virtually, and I do come out to the business sometimes, just depends on what the needs are for the company. Most of my training is done at my house, from my studio, and it works because I can pipe in from Raleigh, North Carolina at any moment and give training to anybody in the United States or outside of the United States right out. Up until a few years ago, that wasn't possible. And now people are getting so used to these things. They prefer having virtual training they can go and look at. So I have my nine steps. I mentioned earlier that I'm an author, and my book is Nine Simple Steps. To sell more shit, and it's on Amazon. And that was a quick little plug not for you to buy the book. I mean you, I would encourage you to buy the book because you're gonna learn something. I don't me getting money off the book, but my point is in telling you about the book, it's got my nine steps in it so you can understand how I take it. The team, through the process, takes a business to a process. But I can adjust that process too, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and electric. I've done it for all of 'em, right? Doesn't matter. But that would be a good way for you to check out some of my training. And so if I do video right, if I were to provide you with my nine-step, my nine steps in a video format, You could have that information forever to train all your new people, right? Whenever I go into a company and train, I teach I record everything. I record everything anyway, but I ensure that I record everything so that you can go back as the business owner and look at those recordings. That way, you don't have to bring me back and pay me more money to teach you the same. Because I think that's ridiculous. I don't think you should have to do that, but you're not going to have to call me back to do that anyway because I make sure before I leave your business that it's exactly how I told you it was gonna be. I don't do this, come and train for a week or so, and then, you call me back and say, The train's not working and you gotta pay me another bunch of money to come back. I just don't roll like that. But you gotta pay attention to this. You want to pay attention to this if you want to be successful. Enhanced career sites and job postings for Google. What does that mean exactly? If you're posting on Google for Jobs, you wanna make sure that the ad looks different than what everybody else likes. You are not like what everybody else has, right? If you, your ad says, Oh, we great company, long term, highest paid time off, blah, blah, blah, insurance, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Sound like everybody. Your ad stinks. If it sounds like that. If you're wondering why you're not getting anybody, your ad sucks. And so I'm just being honest with you. You gotta talk about what people want, right? Think about this. Whoever you're going after if it's a younger guy that maybe is like, What can you help that guy with? Maybe he's got some credit problems. Maybe you help people with credit repair. Perhaps that's a benefit is, Hey, we'll help you fix your credit if you come to work. . That seems funny, but it ain't that it's not that funny because most people don't know how to fix their credit and that not that particular one won't apply to everybody, but it certainly should give you some ideas of some things that you can do to attract more employees and look, say hiring service tags, right? It drives me nuts when people are not specific about what they want. because if you're not specific about what you want, you're gonna have to be happy with what you get. So creating compelling and meaningful content. So what does this mean? This means that you want to create content that's gonna attract the people that you're looking for. Millennials and the Gen Zs Now, let's just stay with the millennials and the Gen Zs because they'll help your business continue after you die or retire. Otherwise, the company is gonna go with you. My point in bringing that up is if you're creating content on social media, is it attractive? Is it? Do you look cool, that is, and I'm gonna get to that next. I think it's the next slide. But you want to make sure that the people that are looking at your pages, your social media pages, cuz let's just be honest, that is where people are looking. For your company. They're not looking on job boards. They're not looking at Monster. They're not looking on Indeed. They're not looking there, dude. That's where all the unemployed people are. What you need to look for are employed people, and I'm not suggesting that you go still,, other employees. What I am suggesting is you don't have to hire people. Oh man, I got way off track. You don't have to hire people in the same industry. You could pull the restaurant and make them an HVAC sales tech all day long if you train them. And they could be amazing. There are guys out there right now that are doing that. I see it all the time, and they're crushing it because those folks don't have bad habits. What is, What is your company stand? Does it have any, do you talk about diversity and inclusion? Do you talk about culture training and social response? Do y'all do anything? I'll tell you Rhino Marketing, Christiano and Chris all once a month, his whole team, they spend one Friday away from the office, and they donate that time to clean up the road or whatever. Some kind of. Social responsibility because it lets your team know that you care about something more than just the money they're bringing in. And even if you don't care about anything other than the money coming in, you need to because people are starting to get tired of that. People want more from you, and you've gotta give it to 'em. If you wanna, keep it. Or you can just keep doing things the way you've been doing them and keep getting the things that you keep calling; if you're the one saying, I can't find people, then why are you not doing something different? Listen, if you train now, just think about this for a second, okay? If you train your technicians to sell better, they'll make more money, right? If you train your CSRs to sell better, they're gonna make more money, right? Maybe not in the current situation, but if you work with B, that's how it's gonna go. You want to incentivize these two areas to bring in more sales. If you're playing paying them a flat rate, 20 bucks an hour for a csr, whatever it is, you're gonna get 20 bucks an hour's worth of work. But if you pay 'em $18 an hour with a spiff that they can make $28 an hour, now you've got an employee that's all about you, and they're all about your company, and they're all about your brand, and that is a raving employee that is your hiring team. Think about this. If you've got the employee that I just described, That you're pouring into them, you're, you've got somebody like me that comes in and trains those CSRs every week, trains technicians every week, and holds their hand and helps them with the things that they struggle with. Who's the hero here, Bro, You win. You win. You make the money. If you have happy employees, you win. But your ego is not your amigo. And so if you put that amigo, that ego to the side, cuz people want to help you, but you just gotta be open to getting that help. This is cool. I think this is cool. Like use text recruiting, use the lowest. Of interaction that you can use. The least friction you can have between you and that new employee is the difference between whether they're your new employee or not. If you can make it simple for them to apply for your company, do that. Oh, but Corey, that's just lazy. They need to fill out an application. No, they don't stop thinking the old; you don't have to do things the way you've always done them. You don't. Make it easy for 'em. At the end of the day, they're gonna follow your rules when they get there anyway. Who cares how they get there? Focus on the important things. And guess what? Gen Zs grew up with technology like we didn't. So not only will these people bring fresh, new ideas, but they're gonna bring technology, and know how to use it. And guess what? That's massively valuable for you. because technology's a struggle for you and me. Sometimes technology makes me wanna pull my freaking hair out, and I know for a fact you feel the same way. I love having some young person around me that knows how to do this stuff way quicker than me because, quite frankly, I'd rather be that way. I hate messing with it. I shouldn't say I hate messing with it. I just don't enjoy it. But anyway, the point. Bring these new people in because they can bring the new ideas and they can tell you how to do 'em. It really does work to your advantage and so I hope you guys are enjoying this so far. Showcase diversity in your employer branding. Like first of all, your branding needs to be the same across all your social platforms, right? If it's an A plus garage door, a garage door, Then it needs to be A plus garage door across the board. And all of your logos need to be the same, and they need to be eye-catching. They need to be excellent. You want to make sure that you stand out. If you don't stand out. I'll give you a quick example, John Jordan, here in Raleigh, North Carolina, owns a Comfort Monster company. And his con, his van has a big old purple comfort monster on it. Social Media He looks ridiculous, but you can't miss it. And it was just, it was a brilliant move for him, in my opinion. Use social media to showcase the brand, right? If you're not on social media and you're not talking about your company, why not? That's crazy, right? You're the newer people coming into the trades. They're all on social media, every one of them. And I know that you may not be that keen on social media. You don't have to be, but you must bring somebody in. That can be because you are gonna get left in the dust. Look, think about Roger Wakefield, right? Roger Wakefield's, a buddy of mine. Roger and I, Roger's been on my podcast. We've spoken on the same stages. Roger is just like you if you're a plumber, except for Roger. Turned the camera around and decided he was going to. Start filming himself doing plumbing jobs. Now he makes God knows how much money without doing a thing every month. How would you like to be that guy? I think that sounds pretty cool. Implement an employee referral program. So one of the highly successful things is that I've learned. Is, I'll give you one quick example. We implemented a massage program. I had the company, I had owner sign up for a monthly massage program where they get a massage once a month. The CSRs got every so that you could buy additional massages once a week. So it started once a month and then worked so well that they started doing this contest. How many could call, and book rate a bunch of KPIs? And then they moved it to every week. So now, these girls, mostly girls, have a chance to win a freaking massage every week. Most of these girls hadn't even ever had a massage. How cool is that? It's awesome. And guess what? Young people like stuff like it's $59 a month. That is peanuts. If she did it once a week, that's still what? 59 plus? Who cares? 250 bucks a month. You have no idea what this will do because your employees will then tell all of their friends. I just got back from a massage that my boss gave me because I kicked ass this week. How about that? It's pretty dope. I'm telling you right now, these ideas are the ones that are winning, period. So you wanna provide development guidance? For these folks. Listen, guys have grown up in a time like you and I have not. They've seen 2008, they've seen the pandemic, they've seen fricking global climate. Whatever change they've seen, look around. It's a wild time right now and people are confused, especially our younger folks are confused. They don't know what the heck is going on. The last part of this, I'm gonna say, if you want to attract good people, then you need to be attractive. What does that mean, Corey? Get your branding squared away. Make sure it looks amazing. Make sure your trucks are clean. Make sure your guys are dressed well. Make sure when people see a plus plumbing, That they want to go work there. Dang dude, look at that guy's outfit. I don't know what they're doing over there, but I wanna check that out. Look how clean their trucks are and look at my truck. They must be doing something different over there. Yeah, they're doing something different. They're acting like normal people. What's your dating profile? I think this is a funny question and you probably think Corey, that is a ridiculous question, but really. if you were gonna put yourself, imagine for a second, if you had to go out back on the market, right? Imagine if you had to go back out on the dating scene you wouldn't have much choice but to create a do of a dating profile, right? If you wanna move this thing faster, you're gonna put the best looking picture of you, the skinnies picture of you. The hottest picture of you in that dating profile. Why? Cause you wanna attract top talent. You wanna attract the best freaking people and you know that if you put that picture of you 20 pounds heavier on there, you're gonna attract 20 pounds heavier guy. I know my voice got a little bit elevated cuz I get a little bit animated about this because, and when I say all that, You realize how crazy it sounds that you're not doing these things. You are courting people to become your employees. People are watching you, they're watching your social media, they're watching your business. They're watching your company. They're watching what other people say. They watch your reviews. If you got crappy reviews, bro, that's why you're not getting people to give you any good legitimate opportunities for work. Nobody wants to work for a company that's got crappy reviews. Who? Think about that. I'm not gonna sign up for a company that's got crappy reviews. Does the job posting I mentioned earlier, does it look like everybody else probably make it different? You want to be different because being different is gonna afford you. The opportunity to be successful. And listen, here's what I want you to think about. I understand that a lot of times it's hard to make decisions. I understand that it's hard because you've built this business and it's hard to ask. It's hard to bring somebody in and let them hold your baby without you knowing what's gonna. And I know it's nerve-wracking, and I know it makes you feel uncomfortable, and I understand that because I've been there, except I didn't call for help. I didn't call in another set of eyes. I tried to do everything myself for the sake of the business and to save money. That second business you saw at the first of this program, a brand new UMD, was a hormone. a testosterone clinic that I opened. It was my clinic partner, and I'm like many of you. I tried to do everything myself and only knew a portion of that business. I didn't know how to run a business like many of you, I ran it into the ground because I felt like I didn't deserve to bring in outside help. Who do I think I am hiring outside help when I can do this stuff? Huh. I think I'm high and mighty. Yeah. Who's high and mighty now? when I walked away with nothing. Right now. That was several years, four years ago in 2018. But I'm gonna tell you right now, I don't want you to go through that. I do not want you to go through that. Cause it is not fun. And it's not fun rebuilding. And I see a lot of the same mistakes get made. and it breaks my heart because I know that if you just had a little bit more information, you could make some better choices and those choices could positively drive your business. And maybe you wouldn't have to stress out every single weekend about whether or not you're getting calls on Monday. And maybe you wouldn't have to stress out every week or every month about how you're gonna make payroll or maybe every two weeks who know? It is what it is. I'm not gonna tell you anything that's gonna make you change your mind. And I'm not saying that you've gotta hire me for this. By no means am I saying that? I do educate and develop service technicians and ccrs or CSRs customer service representatives in plumbing and HVAC companies because I'm good at it and I know exactly what to say. I know exactly how to get them to move differently. and I also know how to uncover at least 20% of the revenue you're leaving on the table. At the end of the day, here's what's gonna happen. You're gonna hire me, and it's not gonna cost you a dime because I'm gonna make you so much more money than what you ever have to pay me. That the fee that you pay me is not even a thought. And I think that's how all companies should operate, but. , I'm confident in what I do because I have, I've got the record to prove it. I know my stuff works, and your stuff works. But when your guys and your guys know your stuff works, when they're not confident about what they're talking about price-wise and what they're talking about, what the sales process, all that fantastic knowledge of what they have. It's Nolan void because they sound like an idiot at the end of the sale because they don't know, they've not been trained, and that's really on you, the owner. That's not on them, and that's also not fair to them. Equip your guys with successful tools so they can go out there and close deals for you and make you money. Don't be so hardheaded. So that last part was not in my c speech. I did get a little off track. I just speak from my heart, and that's it. If you'd like me to do my secret shopper process on you, which is on your company, just let me know. All you have to do is you can just send me a text message at 9 1 9 8 9 6 9 9 9 9, or you can just you got the barcode scan. , but go check me out. And then the last thing that I'll tell you is this. I give anybody in the phcc specifically; if you're a member of the c, I give you a special rate. And so you want to reach out to me about that because I'm happy to help you. And I promise you, this is gonna cost you $0. How much sense would it make for you to pay me and then not make money? How long do you think I'm gonna be in business doing that? Not very long. All right. I laid it on thick at the end of my sales pitch, so I apologize in advance for that. But I need you to understand how important this is. All right. We'll see you guys later.
