This one stings a bit, doesn’t it?
Most of us go from call to call, putting out fires but never think about how to turn that one job into a long-term client.

Sean Samson talks about fixing that exact problem.
If you had a system to upsell service agreements after every call, you’d stop chasing leads and start stacking predictable profit.

This week Matt Jones had an awesome chat with Sean Samson from Sean Samson Training, who’s been helping contractors worldwide turn one-off jobs into predictable recurring revenue.

Sean started his career selling multi-year service agreements for electrical contractors and now he trains tradies to do the same through simple systems that actually work.

We talked about:

>Why most service businesses stay transactional instead of profitable
>The missing piece after every job...the upsell and follow-up
>How to turn every technician into a recurring revenue machine

If you’re tired of chasing leads every week, this episode will show you how to build long-term clients that pay you for consistency,,, not chaos.

If the numbers don’t stack up, walk away. The fastest path to profit is knowing when to say no.
