CTO For The Trades

Most home service companies do not have a real technology budget. They have a few software subscriptions, a rough overhead number, and a lot of guesswork. In this episode, Ronnie Kendrick and Peter Leckenby break down how trades owners should actually think about budgeting for IT, what hidden costs to plan for, and why technology should be treated like an investment with expected ROI, not just another expense. Peter Leckemby: https://homeservicecoachingpros.com/Instagram: @homeservicecoachingpros

 A pretty website does not mean a profitable website. Ronnie and Jessica unpack the website traps that catch trades businesses all the time: slow load speeds, weak CTAs, bad navigation, poor mobile design, no CRM integrations, and platforms that box owners in when they finally start growing. This episode is about building a site that actually helps you win jobs, not just sit online and look nice. 

 As your business grows, so do your tech problems — slow computers, lost data, and that one employee who’s “the IT guy” even though it’s not their job. Orion Stewart, co-founder of MSP Shift, joins us to talk how outsourcing your IT to a Managed Service Provider can save you money, tighten security, and keep your team productive. You’ll walk away knowing when it’s time to bring in an MSP, what to look for, and how it pays for itself in efficiency and peace of mind.
