The Plumbing Sales Coach announced that it has expanded its offerings in response to the ongoing skilled labor shortage with the launch of Blueprint, a new program designed to provide structured coaching and training for plumbing businesses.

“Blueprint brings everything together in one place so owners can implement it across their business,” said Chris Fresh, founder and CEO of The Plumbing Sales Coach. “Without the right training and systems, it’s hard to scale or stay consistent. A clear framework that keeps everyone on the same page helps home service businesses sustain real and lasting growth.”

The expansion comes at a critical time for the industry. The United States continues to face a significant shortage of skilled tradespeople, including plumbers, driven largely by an aging workforce and fewer new entrants into the field. The country could be short by as many as 550,000 plumbers by 2027 and up to 1.4 million positions could be left unfilled by 2030.

The new training program marks a shift for The Plumbing Sales Coach, which previously offered limited-capacity coaching for business owners. By combining on-demand training with live coaching and proven processes using a standardized approach, Blueprint aims to help teams operate more efficiently while "elevating service performance and the overall customer experience," according to the company.

The expanded offerings include three training options:

• Blueprint: A full-program option that includes training for multiple roles, a one-time tech bootcamp and bi-weekly coaching sessions for owners and technicians. 
• Tech Training: A program focused on technician development through training and coaching sessions. 
• Tech Bootcamp: An entry-level training program for technicians.

“The ongoing labor shortage and increasing demand for high-quality service, plumbing company leaders underscores the demand for training, workforce development and operational efficiency,” Fresh said. “We want to equip contractors with the tools and processes they need to deliver the consistent, high-quality service that will allow them to improve performance, retention and long-term revenue growth.”
