No matter what stage of business you’re in right now, our legendary returning guests have some wisdom that only comes from years in the home services industry. We welcome back Kevin Comerford, President of Service Champions and Jonathan Bancroft, former CEO of Morris-Jenkins.

Both of our guests have successfully overseen some incredible businesses, and now – after transitioning out of leadership roles and into new ones – are looking back and answering some impactful questions about their journeys. Listen now!

Real Home Services Wisdom

Whether it’s running a large home services company or developing the future leaders of the business, both Kevin and Jonathan have a long track record of success – as well as plenty of lessons learned along the way. Simply put, they know what works and doesn’t when it comes to building a successful business in the trades.

Both of our guests took different paths and ran separate organizations, but there’s enough they agree on that listeners can take away some certainty as to what’s important to focus on. Led by our hosts Chris Yano and Chad Peterman, this is an episode you don’t want to miss!

One big takeaway from today’s episode is the importance of culture. Being different in your market doesn’t come down to promotions and things that other companies can replicate – it’s about your people, how you do things, and why you do them. From retention and employee satisfaction to recruiting, productivity and more, culture is everything!
