How Communication Drives Profit in the Trades with Jacob Reese | EP 397
Most businesses get trapped competing on price because they never learn how to create value. In this episode of The Next Level Podcast, Jeremy Miner sits down with Jacob Reese, Vice President of Standard Plumbing Supply, one of the largest family-owned wholesale distributors in the Western United States. Built over three generations. Jeremy and Jacob talk about why communication, not pricing, determines who wins, how contractors get stuck in price-based thinking, and what shifts when you move to results-based selling. They explore how influence applies to sales, leadership, operations, and decision-making, why the best ideas often lose to the best-communicated ones, and how systems like Vendor Managed Inventory help customers buy back time and increase profit. Whether you sell, lead, or run a business, this conversation shows how creating value, not competing harder, is what actually drives growth.
Chapters:
(00:00) Introduction
(03:03) Why Everyone Needs to Learn Sales and Persuasion
(05:45) Stewardship, Legacy, and Long-Term Thinking
(08:30) The Customer Is the Boss Philosophy
(11:45) Vendor Managed Inventory and Buying Back Time
(17:10) Creation vs Competition in Business
(22:15) Price vs Results Based Thinking
(29:05) Communication, Influence, and Objection Prevention
