Kelson Carter built an $11M plumbing company — without ever offering HVAC or taking on debt. And he’s done it while only 35 years old. 

 

As a third-generation plumber and owner of Carter’s My Plumber in Indianapolis, Kelson has taken bold, focused action to grow fast and profitably. In this episode, he shares how he: 

  • Grew a plumbing-only company to $11M, completely debt-free 
  • Branded his business around water heaters and a $500 guarantee 
  • Closes 60% of water heater sales over the phone 
  • Trains every week and manages his team daily with KPIs 
  • Promotes future leaders, not just top-performing techs 
  • Uses specific systems to scale with structure and confidence 

 

If you're a plumbing contractor ready to grow without chaos — this one's for you. 

 

What You’ll Learn in This Episode: 

  • The water heater sales strategy that changed Kelson’s business 
  • Why “guys with bills” are his best hires 
  • How to create team-wide accountability through leadership 
  • The value of weekly training and daily coaching 
  • Why CertainPath has been key to staying consistent while scaling fast
