In this follow-up to our Premier Home Pros deep dive, John Wilson sits back down with AJ and Noah to unpack how they turned six greenfield locations into a nationwide engine doing $170 M+ run-rate—without outside debt. They break down the playbook for market launches, recruiting, and leadership restructuring that turned chaos into scale.
Hear how they rebuilt their org for hypergrowth—cutting the VP layer, adding regional pods, promoting from within, and launching Zoom-based sales training that doubled new-rep output. You’ll also hear the real numbers behind marketing mix, payback windows, and bonus-driven sales comp that pushed them to record volume.
If you’re trying to scale a home-service brand fast—but profitably—this is your blueprint for people, process, and playbook.
