I’m gonna be blunt—most contractors don’t have a lead problem… they have a “they don’t ask” problem. Is this maybe you? Today I brought in the guy who’s helped businesses 25x, 50x—some even 75x—their referral results, and we’re breaking down how to turn your customer list into a pipeline. Meet Murphy Nadauld CEO of ReferPro. Murphy has built a system to unlock it without spreadsheets, “golden tickets,” or your accounting team mailing checks three months late. If you’re tired of paying more and getting less, here’s the move: stop hoping referrals “just happen” and start running a system that makes them automatic—because your customer list isn’t a database… it’s your next wave of revenue.

I’m gonna say what a lot of you don’t want to hear—if you’re bragging about “leads” but your revenue isn’t moving, you’re not growing… you’re just paying for activity. This is not marketing!  Today I’ve got Kevin LeSage on, and we’re ripping the mask off the fake metrics—because you can fake clicks, you can fake conversions… but you can’t fake revenue! Your Big Takeaways: 60% of unique leads never book a job 80% of unique leads never buy your service Until you can prove what made you money this month, you’re not doing marketing—you’re gambling.

ServiceTitan isn’t “good” or “bad”—it’s a mirror. And for a lot of contractors, what they see in that mirror is messy: broken processes, workarounds, numbers you can’t trust, and a pricebook that feels like a never-ending fight. In this episode, the BlueCollar Nerd–Richard Koberger and I go straight into the good, the bad, and the ugly—why onboarding feels like 90–180 days of chaos, why most teams blame the software instead of the setup, and the exact features that turn ServiceTitan from a headache into a growth engine. If you want clean reporting, real margins, and a company you can actually scale (or sell), this one’s a must-watch! What you’ll learn in this episode: -Why software doesn’t solve problems—it reveals them -The real reason ServiceTitan implementations feel “brutal” (and why that’s normal) -How to avoid workarounds that destroy reporting accuracy -Why pricebooks are never “done” and how to keep yours clean -The features that reduce technician friction: dynamic pricing, configurable services, conditional logic forms -The simple KPI stack that actually runs a scaling contractor business -How to roll out change without “getting buy-in” (and without losing trust) and more! If you stop treating ServiceTitan like a magic fix and start treating it like a system you commit to, you’ll finally get the numbers, control, and growth you thought you were paying for.

If you're in home services (HVAC, roofing, plumbing, garage doors, etc.) and tired of playing small—this episode will light a fire under you. Warning: Mindset shifts ahead. Poor-minded? You might want to skip this one. In this raw, no-BS episode, garage door legend and my friend Tommy Mello, who bootstrapped A1 Garage Door Service into a national powerhouse doing $300M+ revenue, 1,500+ employees, and massive bottom-line profits sits down with me today to spill the brutal truth: -Why fearing price raises and underpaying people keeps you poor. -How a "build it to sell it" mindset (even if you never sell) turns your business into a wealth machine. -The dark side of private equity, haters, and why abundance + equity makes your team sprint toward the exit. Stop treating your business like a headache and start building the empire that sets your family free—because the next Tommy Mello could be YOU… if you stop waiting and start sprinting today!

Marketing is getting more expensive and competitive—yet most owners WASTE thousands chasing vanity metrics (clicks, leads) that don’t turn into real revenue. Meet Michael Cooney who built WhatConverts to fix this: track every call, transcription, quote value, and true sales outcome so you know exactly what’s working and what’s bleeding cash. Stop guessing where your marketing dollars go! Highlights: -Google Analytics lies: It shows duration but not call quality, spam, or value—WhatConverts qualifies every lead and feeds real revenue back to ad platforms. -The “optimization flywheel”: Manually value calls first, then automate with AI (keywords + ChatGPT) for millisecond-level scaling. -Why quote value beats sales value for optimization: Get it in minutes, not weeks—Google & Meta love it. 💰Hit play. Track smarter. Scale faster.

Kelly Rowlett, founder of Work With Your Hands, is a recruiting expert focused on the skilled trades. She reveals why the excuse of 'not finding good help' fails many home service businesses and emphasizes the importance of standing out to attract top talent. They discuss the crucial question every leader must ask: ‘Why would anyone want to work for you?’ Kelly shares insights on creating effective onboarding processes, maintaining a strong company culture, and the value of ongoing recruitment efforts to ensure business success.

He lost sleep, almost lost his mind, and watched his priorities crash—then rebuilt everything on faith, numbers, and zero tolerance for bullsh*t.. From $10M chained to insurance hell—endless adjuster fights, massive AR headaches, and staff stealing jobs right under his nose—to $78M straight retail in ONE insane year. Joe Boyd didn’t just flip his roofing business… he survived lawsuits, tech meltdowns, a full-on breakdown, and came out the other side obsessed with profits, faith, and family. This isn’t a feel-good flip story. Why This Episode Will Blow Your Mind -Went from $10M full-insurance roofing hell to $78M straight retail in ONE YEAR – massive cash flow, no AR nightmares, no adjuster battles -“Revenues for vanity, profits for sanity” – the mindset shift that changed everything -Almost lost everything in the tech transition (ServiceTitan + new processes) – traumatic change, staff theft, lawsuits, but came out stronger -How faith, family, and brutal discipline pulled him through the breakdown -The real cost of “loyalty” – firing toxic clients, dead weight, and thieves who stole jobs under his nose Catch Joe at the next Roofing Conference (Marco Island, Dec 3–5) – VIPs are selling fast! roofingconference.com Follow my guest at: -Instagram: instagram.com/eliteroofingms -Webpage:eliteroofer.com/roof-inspection?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=pearl_inspection&utm_content=storm_tips  -YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EliteRoofingMS  LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/eliteroofs -Facebook: facebook.com/mseliteroofing -TikTok: tiktok.com/@eliteroofing Follow me on all Social Media: @LanceBachmann Exit Rich: Home Service Secrets with Lance Bachmann Build It To Sell It Conference is where serious business owners go to scale, systemize, and position their company for a profitable exit.

WELCOME TO THE NEWLY BRANDED PODCAST!  Bigger, better, jam packed with the topics you need answers to and seasoned guests here to help!  I bring to you 🥁🥁🥁…… 💪⚡️BUILD IT TO SELL IT ⚡️💪 WARNING! If you’re not willing to check your ego, this conversation will make you uncomfortable—in the best way This episode HITS HARD for those that need it!  If you’re building a team, carrying weight, and feeling the tension between who you were and who you need to become.. Keep tuning in! In this episode, I sat down with industry wrecking ball Ian Macklin, President of The Elliott Group, to break down walls on what actually holds leaders back as they grow—pressure, pride, people, and the lies we tell ourselves along the way. This isn’t sales theory. This is what happens when real leadership gets tested.  Getting burned by people you trusted, shutting down and quitting mentally, weak sales team, longing to build a culture so strong outsiders will misunderstand it. Does this sound like you? We got you covered!  Let this sink in: Most leaders don’t fail because they lack skill. They fail because their ego blocks growth. So don’t be one of those entrepreneurs that fails because their ego refuses to evolve! *2026 COULD BE YOUR YEAR! Follow along and I promise I will get you there!

After watching hundreds of contractors try to scale, one truth keeps showing up—systems beat hustle every time. In this episode, I sit down with Dan Claps, serial entrepreneur and founder of Voda Cleaning & Restoration, a fast-scaling home services franchise with 100 locations and $60M+ in system-wide revenue.  If you’ve ever wondered whether to build it yourself or buy a proven system, this conversation pulls back the curtain—no fluff, no franchise fairytale. Rules We Review That Separate Builders From Broke: -Speed beats control -Systems scale, hustle stalls -Execution matters more than marketing -Royalties are cheaper than mistakes -Build it to sell, not to babysit. At some point, you either commit to a proven system—or keep paying tuition for learning the hard way. Which will you choose?
