Many home services professionals are incredibly busy running their business, serving customers in the field and purchasing supplies. We know you’re practically living in your truck, constantly on the go, so, when are you supposed to do any research? Learn new skills? Grow your business? Take it to the road!
These days, so much information can be gained from podcasts and they’re incredibly accessible. Anyone can listen and learn from a podcast while also doing something else, like when you're driving between calls. There aren't any articles to read, videos to watch or pictures to look at. But with hundreds of thousands of podcasts to choose from, what are the best shows for Plumbing & Mechanical readers to listen to?
Here are my three top podcast recommendations to help you get started on your podcast journey:
The Sharpest Tool
The Sharpest Tool, produced by internet marketing company Scorpion, is specifically for home services contractors who want more customers, more jobs and more success in their careers. Hosted by Josh Smith, vice president of internet marketing for the home services division at Scorpion, the show was created to educate professionals like you with valuable information from industry experts who explain best business practices, provide insights and share experiences. Listeners will learn how to brand their home services business, become more trusted in the community, deliver great customer service, generate repeat business and more.
