Already have a home service business but just scraping by? Don’t know how to grow because you can’t possibly work any more hours than you already are? This book aims to change all that, in a big way. Home Service is a $400 billion dollar industry with mammoth players such as Amazon, Google, and Bing. You know if the big boys are there, there is money to be made. And I am going to tell you how you too can do very well as a local provider.The cool thing about home service is the need for it is never going away. Every home at some point requires maintenance. Roofs need repairing, walls need painting, and drains need clearing. Your goal is to become the go-to company in your area for whatever home service it is you provide.If I can turn my local garage door service business around from being over 50 thousand dollars in debt and grow it into the millions, so can you—if you are willing to change how you think about achieving this goal. If so, the information in this book may just change your life—just like it did mine. My experience running one of the top home service businesses in the country has inspired me to help others succeed just like I did. Are you next?

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The answer is Tommy. He is unique in that he isn't some guy who found success and then got out while he was ahead. He's still right there in the trenches every day, adapting and changing alongside the industry itself, and the information he offers in this book is indispensable if you're looking to grow profitably today's challenging business climate."

-- Ara Mahdessian, CEO, ServiceTitan

"The information in this book has not only been proven in Tommy's own business; he has also shared these tactics and strategies with others who have gone on to build their own home service empires. You don't have to do everything in this book to be successful, all you need is an open mind and the willingness to implement these strategies at the most basic level--because your competition never will."

-- Jody Underhill, Founder, Upside Down Iceberg

"The book is filled with incredible marketing tips, performance metrics to measure. An instrumental A to Z on how to launch a home service business. We think it's a must-have."

-- Mike Davis, CEO and President, Valpak

I’ve been in the home service industry for some time now. I’m fed up working for someone else. The start up is exhausting… taxes, insurance, other paperwork makes you wanna tear your hair out. This book helps and has links to resources.
I HATE reading and burned thru this book in a few days.
Great read.

I've read the critique's of this book and I think they're just haters. There is ALOT of very good gold nuggets in this book that a home service business owner can get. Tommy's promotion of service titan is just because service titan is one of the, if not the, most advanced CRM available to business owners. I have tried a lot of them. I do not use service titan but I do know it has a ton of features that my current crm doesnt have. Tommy's point is this; you have to know your numbers (kpi's) or you do not know your business.... Service titan provides KPI'S like no other crm does that i know of............... it's not a sales pitch. It's the reality that Service Titan is the top 5 crms out there if not the best for a business owner to regulate, view, and understand there own business. Tommy really harps on KPI's (average sales ticket, closing ratios, ytd sales, etc) and that's not a bad thing.

We decided to start a little side hustle. My husband is super handy and really enjoys fixing things so it seemed like the natural choice. I wanted some insight so we could bypass learning some things "the hard way". While some of the contents were common sense for someone who has owned or managed a business (we have).... the industry specific insights were great! I loved some of the do's and don'ts and well as the marketing perspectives.

What started as a side hustle has turned into a lucrative business. While I can't give all the credit to the author of this book (again, we have business experience).... I will say he saved us time, effort, and likely a few mistakes which was more than worth the cost of the book.

I highly recommend!!

The book is well written, and the content is reasonably close to what you'd expect. Overall, the book was a quick read. While I didn't get the ground breaking secrets to an easy million dollar business, I did get a few tidbits of information or different views. I might have gotten more if I had gone to the different websites listed at the end of every chapter. There are author endorsed (& probably owned) sites & programs being pushed on you. I never went to any of them & still got something out of the book. I am not disappointed that I bought & read the book. But, would not likely recommend it to others as a "must read".

Such a good book that I decided to write my first Amazon review about it. As a home service business owner myself, I am all about learning how to make my business better. This book isn’t just fluff, but there’s legitment scripts and actionable items in the book. I even found the book interesting enough that I finished the whole thing in a day. At first I was dissappointed that there wasn’t an audible format available, but I’m now glad there wasn’t because I ended up taking notes inside the book itself.

The media could not be loaded.
 I read this over the weekend and was blown away by the marketing information in this book. For someone that doesn't know marketing, it opened my eyes to a whole new way of thinking about reaching and keeping customers. I found the step by step systematized approach very valuable as well. My entire team needs to read and understand these concepts.

I recommend it for any home service business owner who is looking to grow.

An excellent read. I was looking more for a book on business on a smaller scale. A tradesman working on his own. This is more for someone looking to make a big business out of it. Sound ideas. Enjoyed reading it.
