Kevin Keller of GPOD Generators shares how a simple, personal sales process helped him grow from a few installs a year to more than 200. In this episode, he breaks down why face-to-face meetings, fast follow-up, Facebook lead discipline, and relationship-first selling are the keys to winning more generator jobs.

In this episode of Powering Success, John Tedesco sits down with Michael Bright, partner and operations lead at Safe Haven Power, a fast-growing, family-owned Generac dealer based in Houston.

Safe Haven Power operates in one of the most challenging generator markets in the country—tight install spaces, intense competition, complex permitting, and extreme weather. Michael breaks down what it really takes to scale a generator business the right way without sacrificing quality, service, or integrity.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why generator installs are construction projects, not simple electrical jobs
• How Safe Haven handles tight-space and rooftop generator installs
• Fair, transparent pricing in competitive markets
• Building a true turnkey install experience
• Transitioning from install-heavy to service-driven recurring revenue
• The importance of communication, service, and process when scaling
• Why maintenance is the future of generator businesses

This episode is a must-watch for generator dealers, installers, and contractors looking to grow smarter, scale sustainably, and build long-term value in their business.
