Pest in Class: Expert Voices in Pest Management

From Info To Insight: Tactics For Pest Control With Seth Gerber


Listen Later

The customer comes to your pest control business with a problem. Their stress is up. 


Bringing that stress down should be a key part of the sales process and customer retention.


"The faster that we can take control of the discussion, the faster that we can create comfort in our organization, the faster that we can give them a description that makes logical sense, and the faster that we can get a credit card on file, the longer they're going to stay," says Seth Garber, CEO of Pest Daily and co-founder of FRAXN.


"The second their stress elevates, they become a commodity,” he adds. 


“When they become a commodity, then the customer may or may not stay as soon as a problem is solved."


Garber is a former pest control company owner who has gained experience in consulting and high tech. He’s the CEO of Pest Daily, which offers course learning on topics such as sales and marketing, human resources, and finance, and he’s co-founder of FRAXN, which helps turn information into insights.
