Exit Rich: Home Service Secrets with Lance Bachmann

5 Skills Every Home Service Business Needs to Get Rich With GENE SLADE


Listen Later

Everyone thinks they’re “just” a contractor, or “just” a sales trainer. Let me break it to you — you’re a marketing company, a sales company, a recruiting company, a tech company, and a leadership company. Nail those five, or nothing else matters.

Today I’ve got Gene Slade — an awesome guy who went from top HVAC tech to selling his own company for just under $2 million, and now runs one of the most recognized sales training companies in HVAC and plumbing. We get into how he used a two-hour radio show about AC units to pull in 2,000 leads a year, why most training programs fail, and the one massive leadership lesson that changed how he builds people.
This isn’t a “feel-good” chat. We talk about salespeople who don’t believe in what they sell, owners who have no real training culture, and why chaos ruins scaling. If you want to break past that $2M-$3M ceiling, double your average ticket, and actually build a company worth exiting — this is the blueprint.

We get into:

-Why most companies throw money at marketing but skip sales training — and how that destroys profits
-The #1 skill missing in salespeople (hint: it’s not product knowledge)
-The leadership blind spot that almost cost him his culture — and how he fixed it
-Why brand equity beats every short-term lead gen hack, and how to get it without wasting a decade
-His next big play: partnering with home service companies, doubling their average ticket, and taking a cut of the increase — no upfront fee

This episode is your wake-up call! 

Stop blaming the market. Stop blaming the labor pool. Start mastering the five businesses you’re really in — and watch everything change.
