Last year he sold and installed $703,000 in plumbing — as a technician, in Amarillo. Zachery Kongsy is a service technician at Frank's Repair Plumbing in Amarillo, Texas. He sold and installed $703,000 last year, his second straight year past the CertainPath plumbing Crown Champion threshold — in his third year holding a license.  He spent nine years in restaurants first: Subway, Burger King, Texas Roadhouse. His stepdad has been at Frank's for 32 years and all three of his brothers worked there too. One shift at Roadhouse, two of them showed him their checks. "I was like, I can do that." He applied, got hired the same day, and started as an apprentice the next morning — riding with a seven-time Crown Champion, taking notes from the back of the room. The part he volunteers without being asked is the part most technicians hide: "Before I got this job I was very shy. Would not talk to anybody. Couldn't even start a conversation."  What changed was method, not personality. He still gives himself pep talks driving to the house. The rest of this conversation with host Bob Houchin is his entire service call, start to finish. In this conversation, you'll discover:  • Why he is in the gym at five and through the call histories before the trucks roll  • What he reads on the front of a house before he ever knocks on the door  • Why he never diagnoses alone — and the four words that explain it • How he builds three options out of sight, then reveals the membership savings last  • The line he uses when a $300 repair turns out not to be $300 • Why he gets a shovel in the ground the same night, even at eight o'clock  • The review ask at the door that lands nine times out of ten Whether you run a plumbing, HVAC, electrical, or roofing company, Zachery's process shows how a shy third-year technician turns ordinary service calls into $703,000 a year.  Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

Last year he sold and installed $1,011,000 in electrical — out of one van. Mike Howie is a service technician at Travis Electrical Service in Clarksville, Tennessee. He does the selling and splits the installs 50-50. He did $612,000 one year and $1,011,000 the next — two years into residential service, in a middle-America market. He had about ten years in electrical first: an industrial apprenticeship, then a service shop that, in his words, “threw you out in the wind.” A three-week job became seven unpaid weeks in Texas and Oregon. He nearly lost the house, his wife's car was impounded, and he lost his mom in the middle of it. He found Travis on Indeed, emailed the owner's wife from Oregon, and she kept telling him one thing: “Just get home.” Then six months of ride-alongs and CertainPath training before anyone handed him a van. What changed between $612,000 and $1,011,000 was operational as much as personal. Travis added installers halfway through the year, anything over $1,000 started handing off, and Mike got into more houses. The rest of this conversation with host Bob Houchin is his entire service call, line by line. In this conversation, you'll discover: • Why adding an install team took him from $612,000 to $1,011,000 • The six-month onboarding most owners skip — and what that patience actually bought • Why he never finishes the troubleshoot, and the one question he asks instead • The chain-link analogy that makes a backstabbed outlet obvious to a homeowner • How he positions financing before the sticker shock lands • “First person that talks loses” — and the fifteen minutes he sat in total silence Whether you run an electrical, HVAC, plumbing, or roofing company, Mike's process shows how one well-trained technician turns ordinary service calls into a million dollars a year. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

On this episode of the Jered Williams show, Jered talks with Jeff Cronin, the "eight million dollar plumber," about the mechanics of high-volume sales in the plumbing and HVAC industries. The discussion highlights why human CSRs outperform AI in building trust and how technicians can double their average ticket by focusing on "dollars per knock" rather than just close rates. Jeff breaks down the turnover process and step-selling techniques, emphasizing that sales success is driven by a technician's mindset and their ability to educate customers on long-term solutions like water treatment and pipe replacement. They conclude with advice on hiring for resilience and maintaining the professional discipline necessary to sustain a high-earning career in the trades.

This week, we welcome Tanya's husband and newest team member, Ryan Weltzin, to talk about his move from a 20-year career as a journeyman plumber into his new role as a project manager at Big Fish Contracting. We get into what went into making that decision, what it's been like learning a whole new side of construction, and why sometimes the best next step in your career is the one that pushes you outside your comfort zone.   Ryan shares what he's brought with him from the trades and how those hands-on years have helped him step into project management. From learning new technology and juggling schedules to working with homeowners, subcontractors, and the Big Fish team, there's been a lot to figure out. And of course, Tanya shares her perspective on what it's like to have your spouse join the family business when you're both fully invested in the same company.   You'll hear what Ryan has learned during the transition, how his experience in the trades still shapes the way he approaches projects, and what makes the Big Fish team feel like more than just a workplace.   Check out The Big Fish Contracting Docuseries! Check it out on our YouTube channel!    To connect with Big Fish Contracting, you can check out our website at www.bigfishcontracting.com.   You can also follow us on our social channels: Big Fish Contracting Instagram Big Fish Contracting Facebook

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.

If I hear one more person say that their job doesn't make a difference so they're going to quit their job and go work in full time ministry - I'm gonna explode.  You're not just a plumber.  You're a plumber who loves Jesus and who's really good at keeping people's water flowing, their toilets flushing, their drains draining and their hot water hot.  You're a blessing to everybody you serve because they depend on you for reliable plumbing.  And when you do an excellent job, God is glorified and you have an opportunity to tell people why you do things with excellence.  So you're not just a plumber, you're a Jesus follower who is a plumber.  You are gifted and you are called.  Just imagine a world where everybody who's a plumber quits their job and goes to work in a church.  That's not a world I wanna live in.

In this episode of the Jered Williams Show, Jered and Eddie break down a five-step sales process designed to help plumbing technicians move beyond basic repairs and provide higher-value service. The strategy emphasizes building early rapport through a proactive call-ahead, diagnosing the root cause of issues instead of just treating symptoms, and "pre-framing" costs to manage customer expectations before presenting options. By utilizing "step selling" to build trust and offering clear financing paths for long-term solutions, technicians can increase their average ticket sizes while ensuring customers receive more reliable, permanent fixes. Ultimately, the conversation underscores that professional sales in plumbing is about thoroughness, transparency, and empowering the customer to choose peace of mind over temporary Band-Aid solutions.

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.

Patreon: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast This week on Dopey's Greatest Hits, Dave looks back on one of the most unforgettable interviews in the show's history with Miami nightlife legend Ingrid Casares. Before the classic conversation begins, Dave recaps the incredible success of the inaugural Dopey Recovery Short Film Festival, from a nearly sold-out crowd and appearances by James Frey, Kevin McEnroe, Aaron Carr, Ray Brown, Pete the Plumber, and more, to his early morning appearance on Good Day New York. He thanks everyone who attended, promises an even bigger festival next year, hints at a future DopeyCon in the same theater, reads listener emails and Patreon comments, debates Tesla versus ska music, and shares plans to keep releasing daily episodes while his family heads out on vacation. Then comes one of Dopey's all-time greatest recovery stories. Ingrid Casares tells the unbelievable story of growing up in Miami, discovering cocaine in the early 1980s, repeatedly trying rehab before she was ready, stealing an ounce and a half of cocaine from a college dealer, becoming a drug mule between Miami and North Carolina, freebasing across the Southeast, surviving terrifying cocaine paranoia, and eventually finding recovery. She explains how sobriety led her into the music business, introduced her to Sandra Bernhard and Madonna, and eventually helped launch the legendary Miami clubs Liquid, Bar Room, and Joy, helping transform South Beach into an international nightlife destination. Along the way she shares stories involving Sean Penn, Whitney Houston, Donald Trump, the Versace era of Miami, celebrity excess, relapse, prescription opioids, alcohol, and ultimately finding lasting recovery after decades of chaos. It's one of the wildest cocaine stories ever told on Dopey—and one of the most honest conversations about relapse, reinvention, fame, and recovery.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

She built the business. Now she's fighting to stop it from taking over her life. Jillian is one of only five female master plumbers in Texas, a working master plumber, business owner, wife, and mother who grew her plumbing company from a single-desk operation into a multi-truck, full-service business. Gas, sewer, water, emergencies, her team can handle it all. But growth came with a cost. Missed calls. Delayed responses. Too many tabs open. Too many fires to put out. Customers were slipping through the cracks, and the pressure was following her home. The truth? Jillian didn't have a demand problem, she had a systems problem.
