Summary

Angie Snow shares the real story behind her 2007 leap into HVAC, growing a husband-and-wife shop with four techs into a valuable, sellable company—then moving into coaching and her role as an Industry Advisor at ServiceTitan. We dig into the playbook: peer groups (Service Nation), hiring targeted coaches, embracing data (and why switching to ServiceTitan was a revenue inflection point), branding for exit, and implementing relentlessly. Angie also breaks down today’s hot topics—voice agents, AI-assisted dispatching, and practical ways owners can upskill CSRs and dispatchers to boost booking rates and revenue without losing the human touch.

Takeaways

• Implementation beats information: There’s no silver bullet—do the work you learn at events and from mentors.
• Invest in data: Moving to robust reporting changed decisions and growth trajectory.
• Train the front line: CSRs/dispatchers are the first impression; equip them and turnover drops while booking rate rises.
• Brand for the future: Build an asset that’s transferable (not personality-dependent) to maximize exit value.
• Adopt AI as a tool: AI can supercharge routing, reporting, and call support—freeing humans for higher-value work.
• Find your people: Best-practice groups and coaches accelerate every phase of growth.
