#198 Running A Plumbing Business Is Hard Until You Understand THIS
On this episode of the Jered Williams Show, Jered sits down with Kristen Deese, a virtual CFO for the trades who spent 20 years owning plumbing, HVAC, and other home service businesses with her husband before selling to private equity. They dig into how to read a P&L and tie it back to operations, with Kristen arguing that owners should fix inefficiencies before raising prices and that gross profit dollars, not just margin percentage, are what cover overhead. She says revenue is an ego-driven number that owners keep growing while net profit quietly shrinks, and she recommends budgeting with four targets (a revenue goal, a gross profit margin goal, an overhead cap, and a net profit goal) instead of a line-by-line budget. They also compare payroll structures, with Kristen insisting a technician should be able to explain his pay to his spouse, and discuss how AI can speed up administrative work like journal entries, call classification, and permit tracking.

#197 One Year Into Our New Plumbing Business, Here's What We've Learned
On this episode of the Jered Williams Show, Jered sits down with Eddie to reflect on one year of building Wahoo Plumbing in Pensacola after selling their $6.2 million Alaska business. The biggest lesson was that the right people matter more than anything. After hiring around 16 people with none of the originals left, they found that the wrong hires resisted their process and didn't believe in their pricing. Once the right technicians were in place, one month produced $170K from 90 jobs compared to $130K from 130 jobs with the wrong team, and marketing spend dropped from as high as 40% of revenue to around 16%. They also cover the hire-fast, fire-fast approach and why they'd start their next business by finding two "million dollar technicians" before growing.

She shares insights into their multi-stage hiring process, the strategic differences between new construction and service divisions, and the practicalities of maintaining a successful business partnership with a spouse. The discussion highlights the importance of building scalable systems that allow for long-term growth and eventual leadership transition while emphasizing the value of community reinvestment.

On this episode of the Jered William's Show, Jered sits down with Travis Curtis of High Tide Plumbing to discuss his journey from struggling with new construction to building a service-based business on track for $3 million in revenue this year. Travis details his "poke a hole" philosophy for drain cleaning, which uses transparency and video inspections to sell long-term sewer solutions, and explains his unique sales model that pairs technicians with field supervisors to maximize conversion rates. The conversation explores the mindset shifts necessary for scaling, including the importance of raising prices, ignoring skeptical "outside noise" from friends and family, and the tactical plan to reach $5 million next year by implementing automated follow-ups and optimizing existing customer memberships.
