March 10, 2025 Contractor Cents - Episode 364 - Digital Door Knocking & Marketing in 2025 with Jimmy Speyer
In 2021, 77% of consumers in the U.S., UK, France and Germany used
Google to find business information according to a Statista report. Lead
generation has changed over the years, but the truth is that contractors
need to be where their clients are – online.
Digital door knocking is nothing new, and contractors should leverage online
tools to enhance marketing ROI and increase lead generation and
conversion.
What impact will the recent election have on digital door knocking?
I specifically waited until after the election, no matter who won, to have my
guest, Jimmy Speyer, discuss how demographic insights on consumer
spending power help contractors be strategic in their marketing approach, in
2025 and beyond.

March 03, 2025 Contractor Cents - Episode 363 - Greener Construction with David Hernandez
Construction is one of the most egregious polluters of the environment. In
fact, the industry is by far the largest generator of greenhouse gases,
accounting for a staggering 37% of global emissions. This includes emissions
directly produced by the construction industry, such as those from
machinery used on construction sites, along with emissions during the
operational phase of a building’s lifespan. What’s more, the built
environment is responsible for one third of global resource use and 40% of
worldwide energy consumption.
My guest, David Hernandez, Managing Director and Head of the US, for
Elecosoft, gives you a tool that can help you reduce your company’s
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and lowering climate footprint.
