This is the show where we sit down with top home-service professionals to learn how they lead, scale, and sell—so you can grow the impact of your own business.

We're pumped to bring you another fire conversation in the Five Door Media Podcast — and this time, we're sitting down with someone who's turned a mop into a movement.

Meet Jamie Reeder, founder and CEO of Dustin Mop, a residential cleaning company with three booming locations across North Carolina and 1,000+ glowing reviews. But Jamie didn't start in cleaning — she spent 10 years as a top sales rep in the industrial oil industry before building her own business from the ground up (literally buying her first 20 clients from a neighbor!).

Now, she's pioneering a one-call close method that's transforming how home service businesses think about sales. In this episode, Jamie breaks down: ✅ Why traditional sales scripts do work (when done right)
✅ What makes house cleaning sales totally different from other industries
✅ How call monitoring, objection handling, and team training helped scale her sales team
✅ And why you shouldn't be afraid of silence when closing a deal

Jamie's passion for people, process, and performance is contagious, and this episode is packed with real, tactical value that you can use to tighten up your sales game today. #KnockKnock #FiveDoorMedia
