Episode 1217: Scaling Service Businesses from Zero to Seven Figures with Teddy Slack Jr.

What does it really take to scale a home services business from a shoestring budget to seven figures and then do it five times over?

In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Teddy Slack Jr., Founder of BizScore.ai, who has built and scaled five different service-based businesses from scratch to seven figures. He’s a serial entrepreneur who transformed an $8,000 startup into a company generating 43% EBITDA—before selling it at a five-times multiple. In this episode, Teddy shares his journey, his lessons on marketing, pricing, and leadership, and why he’s now documenting his newest venture in real time for contractors everywhere.

Key Takeaways:

→ The importance of tracking marketing ROI instead of “throwing spaghetti at the wall.

→ Why getting out of day-to-day operations is the key to scale and freedom.

→ The mindset shift every contractor must make to turn a job into a business.

→ The challenges and opportunities of entering a brand-new industry from scratch.
