Episode 1217: Scaling Service Businesses from Zero to Seven Figures with Teddy Slack Jr.


Listen Later

What does it really take to scale a home services business from a shoestring budget to seven figures and then do it five times over?


In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Teddy Slack Jr., Founder of BizScore.ai, who has built and scaled five different service-based businesses from scratch to seven figures. He’s a serial entrepreneur who transformed an $8,000 startup into a company generating 43% EBITDA—before selling it at a five-times multiple. In this episode, Teddy shares his journey, his lessons on marketing, pricing, and leadership, and why he’s now documenting his newest venture in real time for contractors everywhere.


Key Takeaways:

→ Why flat-rate pricing revolutionized his industry and boosted closing rates.

→ The importance of tracking marketing ROI instead of “throwing spaghetti at the wall.

→ Why getting out of day-to-day operations is the key to scale and freedom.

→ The mindset shift every contractor must make to turn a job into a business.

→ The challenges and opportunities of entering a brand-new industry from scratch.


Teddy Slack Jr. helps blue-collar business owners turn chaos into clarity and profit. Over the last 20 years, he has successfully built five service-based businesses from scratch to seven figures, all within their first 12 months. Most recently, he scaled and exited his home service business for a 5x multiple, growing it to $1.6 million in annual profit with zero owner involvement.

Today, Teddy partners with select owner-operators as a strategic growth operator, bringing the systems, financial discipline, marketing power, and leadership infrastructure necessary to scale businesses without burnout or guesswork. Unlike traditional coaching, Teddy works hands-on in the trenches with business owners to turn their operations into streamlined, profitable machines that can run and eventually sell without them.

Teddy is also the creator of BizScore, an AI-powered financial health tool that helps service businesses assess their financial situation and take action to plug profit leaks and grow with confidence.
