Summary

Justin gets tactical and breaks down the six must-have tools that keep home service owners out of firefighting mode and firmly in control: professional email, a real calendar system, a to-do/task manager, a CRM, cloud storage, and an AI assistant. You’ll hear practical examples (from ditching AOL/iCloud emails to connecting your CRM for automated follow-ups), favorite tools he personally uses (Google Workspace, Todoist, Trello), and why #6—AI—becomes your trainable digital assistant rather than a copy-paste end product. If you want fewer dropped balls, tighter operations, and more proactive days, this episode is your checklist.

Takeaways
  • Brand your communication: Use a domain-based professional email to boost trust, consistency, and CRM integrations.
  • Own your day with a calendar: One source of truth prevents double-booking, protects focus blocks, and actually makes vacations happen.
  • Make progress visible: A to-do list/task manager helps prioritize, capture follow-ups, and rack up quick wins that build momentum.
  • Don’t let money slip through cracks: A CRM tracks leads, jobs, follow-ups, and repeat business; choose the right fit (e.g., ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber).
  • Centralize knowledge: Cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive) prevents “lost SOPs” and makes team sharing simple.
  • Train your AI, don’t copy/paste it: Use AI (e.g., ChatGPT) as an organized, context-aware assistant for drafts, analysis, and automation—feed it your MVV, avatar, and offers.
