    This is the show where we sit down with top home-service professionals to learn how they lead, scale, and sell—so you can grow the impact of your own business.

    What if you never had to “sell” again… and still grew a 7-figure business?

Tyler is a business coach, bestselling author, and the founder of one of Oklahoma’s most trusted exterior cleaning companies. He’s helped over 250 entrepreneurs scale past $1 million in annual profit, and what’s wild is—he doesn’t even use the word sales. Instead, he leans on brand authority, reputation, and systems that let his company do the talking. We cover how he built a recurring revenue machine through a VIP program, his Starbucks-inspired approach to pricing, and how marketing made selling almost unnecessary. If you're tired of sales scripts and chasing leads, this episode will completely change the way you think about growth. #KnockKnock #FiveDoorMedia
