  • How do I prevent shopping around?
    Nov 21 2025

    In this episode, we dig into the real data — Stanford studies, Google’s consumer insights, and Gitomer’s research — all pointing to the same surprising truth: only 10–16% of homeowners are actually shopping for the lowest price. The rest are choosing based on trust, value, reputation, and the experience you deliver.

    From there, we break down exactly how to prevent shopping around with a process that builds value long before the customer ever considers getting another quote. You’ll learn:

    • Why a defined process, scorecard, ride-alongs, training, and 1:1s create the foundation
    • A three-step team exercise to separate yourself from the competition today
    • How to refine your value points so they’re clear, tangible, and proven
    • Where to naturally insert those value points into your documented process

    If you want fewer “I’m going to get a couple more bids” moments and more confident, committed customers, this episode will sharpen your edge.

  • How do I overcome the Holiday Objection?
    Nov 20 2025

    Every year, like clockwork, the holiday objection comes crashing in: “We’re just going to wait until after the holidays.” In today’s Question of the Day, we break down how to handle this without sounding pushy — and how to turn it into one of the most predictable (and winnable) objections in the trades.

    I walk through why the best time to do business is always today, and how the reasons behind that change season to season. More importantly, I show you how to build a team-generated list of “golden BBs” — small, powerful talking points you can use just like a plumber uses a fully stocked truck: ready for any situation.

    We dig into real examples your team can use immediately.

    This episode helps your team get proactive, stay equipped, and confidently work objections before they happen — so the holidays don’t slow you down.

  • How do I set goals?
    Nov 19 2025

    Chelsea from Chicago wants to start setting goals—even though her company doesn’t. In this episode, we walk through exactly how to build goals that actually stick, not just ones that look good on paper.

    We talk about why writing your goals down matters, how to start with simple team goals, and how “one more than last month” can quietly change your entire trajectory. Then we break down the full SMART-ER framework:

    If you’ve never set goals before, this episode gives you a simple path to start—and a blueprint to grow into over time.
