The Successful Contractor Podcast

Kristian Youngblood of Mackin & Sons in Wadsworth, OH, which is just outside of Akron, is now a manager/plumbing salesperson for the company.  But in 2022, he was a full-time plumber in the field selling and installing over $1.48 MM—eye popping numbers for a small, Midwestern market.  

 

In this interview, Kristian shares his entire service call process. He shares in-depth how he:

·        Conducts his safety inspections—and what he says during them.

·        Converts flapper calls into complete toilet replacements.

·        Flips corroded fixture calls turn into water treatment sales.

·        Sells PREMIUM water heaters to people who already bought a big box water heater.

·        Grabs control of service calls from D Personality (Type A) homeowners.

·        Turns slow drains into main sewer line replacements.

·        Builds options sitting NEXT to the customer at the kitchen table.

·        Handles every type of objection possible.

·        And so much more!
