In this episode of Masters of Moments, host Jake Wurzak sits down with Jesse Rack, founder and CEO of Rack Electric, to unpack one of the most impressive and unconventional entrepreneurial stories in the home services industry. Jesse shares his journey from Queens, New York, where he played college football and briefly pursued the NFL, to running a fast-growing business empire focused on electrical work, energy, and infrastructure across Florida. After stepping away from coaching football and returning to Florida to support his family, Jesse took over his father's small electrical business with a bold vision: to build a brand, not just a company. What started with one truck and a handful of employees is now a multi-vertical operation with over 200 employees, five divisions, and specialties that include generators, propane delivery, solar installations, and EV charging infrastructure. Jesse breaks down how he's scaled the company by hiring for attitude, investing in operational systems, and acquiring other trades businesses through strategic M&A. This episode covers: - Jesse's sports background and how it shaped his leadership style   - Building Rack Electric from a local business into a state-wide brand   - Creating a training pipeline for tradespeople and launching in-house licensing programs   - How to buy, turn around, and integrate struggling home service companies   - Why customer experience and honest communication are non-negotiables   - The power of handwritten letters in sourcing acquisition opportunities   - Lessons in grit, recruiting, and the value of walking the job site   If you're interested in trades entrepreneurship, home services, or building a real business with staying power, Jesse's story is as real and raw as it gets.

A lot of people think cold calling is dead. John Waller disagrees. John Waller is a true, old-school salesman and the founder of The OnHold Experience, a company that produces audio recordings that promote your business to your customers over the phone while they're waiting on hold. John's been selling since he was a kid growing up in England in the early 1960s trading bubble gum for toy cars  – something that he paid dearly for as you'll find out. Undeterred by that early childhood incident, he's since led a successful sales career spanning decades, selling insurance and phone headsets before he got into selling on-hold messages. While a big fan of cold calling, John has also incorporated newer tactics into his sales process such as LinkedIn and attending virtual networking groups to set up “warm calls” and build relationships that lead to numerous referrals and new business.  Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/b22mr7UTn7Y  Connect with John Waller: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wallerjohntheonholdguy/  Learn more: https://www.theonholdexperience.com/

Vance Morris is an entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and an authority on customer experience & customer service. Vance previously worked at Walt Disney World where he managed multiple restaurants and nightclubs. At Disney, he learned much about customer service, paying attention to small details, and creating memorable guest experiences. In this episode, we discussed how Vance applies the lessons he learned at “the happiest place on Earth” to his carpet cleaning company and other service businesses. By sprinkling in some Disney magic and going the extra mile to surprise and delight his customers, Vance Morris made his cleaning companies stand out from the competition.  While carpet cleaning and mold remediation may not sound like the most glamorous and exciting businesses in the world, Vance set his companies apart by using creative branding and marketing tactics, building a strong culture, and bending over backward to deliver a level of service that leaves his competitors in the dust.  Also a business coach and mentor to entrepreneurs, Vance shares his Disney-influenced approach with his coaching clients to help them build strong, engaged teams and drive customer loyalty without getting in their own way. He helps his clients create systems that give them more freedom and allow them to spend more time working on their businesses and less time in their businesses. If you're anything like me, you don't want to be coached by someone whose only business has been a coaching business or someone who has only studied business from books and courses; you want to get advice from a business owner who has firsthand experience running successful small businesses. Vance Morris is the real deal with the wisdom and insights to share that can only be learned from experience.  Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/I9osnSwhnnk Connect with Vance Morris: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vancemorris/  Get his free list of 52 Ways To Wow Your Customers Without Breaking The Bank here: www.wow52ways.com   Learn more about his three successful service businesses: www.easternshorecarpetcleaning.com  www.easternshorerugcleaning.com  www.marylandmoldbusters.com

JingJing Zhong, the Co-founder and CEO of Superbench and Jeremy Au discussed: AI Impact on Service Businesses: JingJing explained how AI advancements have transformed traditional service industries. Previously, AI struggled with logic and calculations, making it unreliable for tasks like generating service quotes. Now, improved reasoning allows AI to think through multi-step processes, reducing human workload and increasing efficiency. Superbench helps businesses like cleaning and plumbing services scale without needing more employees. She shared how her former company, Helpling, reduced its sales team from five agents to one while increasing conversion rates from 30% to 70%. CRM vs. RAG Reality: JingJing pointed out that traditional CRM systems don't integrate well with AI-driven customer support. She introduced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) as a way to improve AI accuracy by linking responses to verified business knowledge before generating answers. Many AI chatbots still struggle with anything beyond FAQs and simple transactions, particularly in handling complaints. She predicts AI will advance even faster in the next two years, further reshaping service industries. Customers now assume AI agents are human because AI responses feel more natural than scripted templates used by actual employees. Founder Productivity Lifestyle: JingJing reflected on how managing stress as a founder led her to restructure her daily habits. She quit alcohol, shifted to a healthier diet with more vegetarian meals, and committed to consistent journaling. She noted that these changes had a direct impact on her business performance, saying that after quitting alcohol, her sales "went crazy." She emphasized the importance of therapy for founders, citing YC President Gary Tan's advice: “Do therapy before you start a company.” She believes founders should address their fears and anxieties early to avoid making poor decisions under pressure. Jeremy and JingJing also talked about startup fraud cases like eFishery, the effects of investor ghosting in Southeast Asia, and cultural differences in venture capital practices between the U.S. and Southeast Asia.

Join us as we look at how your online reputation and local marketing strategies can drive revenue for your business, while avoiding pitfalls along the way. With guest Raj Nijjer of Edge, we'll dive into the revenue impacts that your online reputation can have, and why this reputation building should be crucial in your planning. Join your host Loren Baker, as he and Raj discuss how to avoid wasteful strategies of local marketing and multi-location businesses, plus a couple tips on how a good reputation can help attract and retain top talent. [01:14] - Raj's Background and Journey to Edge. [02:44] - Edge's Concept of Employee-Driven Growth and Its Connection to Google Reviews. [10:34] - How Reviews Contribute to Local SEO. [11:27] - Customer-Facing End: In-Depth Reviews and Personalization. [13:24] - Standing Out in Cutthroat Competition: Franchises and Service Businesses.

[45:06] - Employee Retention During Challenges Like The COVID-19 Pandemic. We encourage businesses to amplify positive reviews and learn from the negative reviews. - Raj Nijjer, 5:34 Now not only does the brand win and the business win, but employees can feel great or a person can feel great about the job that they've done. - Raj Nijjer, 9:21 Positive reviews are so important. There's one stat I read on your site…53% of customers won't go to a business rated under four stars. - Loren Baker, 15:21 I think the injection of motivating and recognizing your employees while they're doing this service is something that we're very proud of, because we can see which employees are doing really well. And then you can duplicate that. - Raj Nijjer, 21:44 Our goal is to marry the marketing with operational excellence. You want to hold people accountable, especially if you're rewarding them. - Raj Nijjer, 30:53 I think one thing COVID taught every business owner is employee retention and how hard it's been to find people and when a displacement happens, it really jeopardizes your business if you don't plan it well. So you want to keep your superstars, don't ever lose your superstars. - Raj Nijjer - 41:10 Resources Mentioned: Edge Connect With Raj Nijjer: Raj is Head of Marketing for Edge, an employee-driven growth platform for service brands.
