Most contractors who can't scale their home service business aren't failing — they're solving the wrong problems at the wrong time.
John Wilson sits down with FieldPulse Chief Growth Officer Daniel Eigner to break down the operational chaos that kills growth between $1M and $10M. From contractor CRM setup and price books to job costing, KPIs, and AI tools — they cover what actually moves the needle and why fundamentals beat complexity every time.
After working with hundreds of growing contractors, the pattern is clear: most businesses are "loosely functioning disasters" running on hustle instead of systems. This episode is the blueprint for fixing that.
What you'll learn:
→ Why most contractors focus on the wrong metrics
→ The foundational systems every growing business needs
→ How CRM, booking rate, and price books drive scalability
→ Why overbuilt systems slow growth — not speed it up
→ How job costing and financial visibility change your margins
→ How AI will reshape operations, reporting, and accounting
→ What breaks when your business suddenly gets "100 more" of something
