Jun 1, 202653 min
What does it take to hit over 700 fiber sales in a single year and escape the mid-day slump? Hunter finds out as he sits with the 2025 golden door winner Blake Pilcher. From breaking his arm snowboarding and fumbling through his first pest control pitch to completely dominating the fiber optic space, Blake reveals exactly what it takes to reach the top. Struggling with the salesman rollercoaster or wondering how to consistently hit high numbers? Blake shares the exact frameworks he used to hit 700 accounts in a single summer. He dives into the psychology of decision fatigue, why 8:50 AM is the undisputed best time to knock, and the extreme meal prep routines that keep top producers locked in and fully intentional. Blake flew straight from Florida to share his raw, unfiltered 10-year journey through the door-to-door industry. He holds nothing back about his early failures in the alarm industry, sitting on park benches contemplating quitting, and how adopting radical honesty and extreme accountability completely transformed his trajectory.

525: The Roofing Acquisition Wave Is Here and Most Owners Will Miss It
May 25, 202646 min
Private equity already ate HVAC and plumbing. Roofing is next, and most owners have no idea what's coming. Watch the first ever CEO Roundtable episode and subscribe for the full series. This is episode 1 of the Forge Podcast, where the people actually doing the deals talk about what it really takes to scale and exit a home service business. The conversation gets into how PE values your company, where most owners leave millions on the table, and the EBITDA math that makes 1 plus 1 equal three. At the table with Sam: Cody Klein runs CommercialRoofer.com and has helped roughly 260 roofing companies clean up sales, ops, and finance after selling his own company in the early COVID-era consolidation wave. Josh Langford is the Chief Strategist Officer, the accountant-slash-marketer who sits with founders every week and forces them to actually look at the scoreboard. Ryan Nichols, the COO, spent 20 years building Eco Roof and Solar to around $100 million, then spent three years inside a private equity fund. What you'll learn in this episode: The EBITDA multiple math that lets 1 plus 1 equal 3 (and sometimes more) Why 90 percent of PE deals collapse in due diligence and what kills them Why half of CEOs get fired after they sell, and how to not be one of them The four-number weekly scorecard almost no roofer is actually keeping Key man risk: the silent number that quietly destroys your valuation CEO confessions from the table about the mistakes none of them want to admit out loud Thank you for listening!

524: Why You'll Never Hire a "Killer" Salesperson (Until You Become One First) — Ryan Fenn, CHIIRP
May 21, 202646 min
Ryan Fenn dropped out of high school at 16, washed windshields at a Chevron in Utah to feed his newborn son, and turned a $0.10-cent gumball-hustler mindset into CHIIRP — a software company now doing seven figures a month in the home services space. In this episode, Sam Taggart and new co-host James Edwards sit down with Ryan to break down exactly how he did it: the two-word pitch tweak that 9X'd his close rate at the gas station, the "bridge" framework he uses to convert cold Facebook leads into booked appointments, why he closed 35 out of 35 partnerships in 2 years (including Tommy Mello buying 25% of his business), and the brutal truth about hiring "killers" vs. architects in your sales org. If you're a roofer, home services pro, or door-to-door rep trying to scale beyond just knocking — this one's a blueprint. Thank you for listening! Don't miss out on future episodes!

523: How to Build a Sales Culture That Actually Sticks | Stephen Childs
May 21, 202643 min
Most leaders think culture is the words on the wall. It's not. Culture is what you do and don't tolerate — and if you're tolerating the wrong behaviors, you don't have a culture. You have a poster. On this episode of The D2D Podcast, Sam Taggart sits down with Stephen Childs, Chief Human Resources Officer of Panasonic Automotive Systems Company of America and author of Just Be Undeniable: The Science, Habits, and Tools of an Unstoppable You. With 25+ years of senior leadership experience leading culture transformations inside one of the largest corporations in the world, Stephen unpacks how to build an undeniable culture — one that attracts elite talent, drives elite performance, and refuses to tolerate behavior that drags the team down.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
