About this listen

In pest control, we’re often paid for our time — so we start valuing ourselves by how long a job takes.

But customers don’t value pest control that way.


They value results, clarity, and confidence.


In this episode, I break down why measuring pest control by time hurts:

• Technicians

• Owners and managers

• And customers


We talk about:

• Why “that was quick” isn’t a compliment or an insult

• How poor communication destroys cooperation and profit

• Why avoiding hard conversations leads to callbacks, cancellations, and burnout

• How technicians accidentally turn themselves into replaceable tools instead of trusted resources


This episode is for:

• Pest control technicians

• Owner-operators

• Managers in the field

• Anyone tired of working harder while making less


If you want better results, better customers, and better paychecks, it starts with communication.


👊 Learn to explain the solution.

👊 Learn to explain the customer’s role.

👊 Learn to stand your ground professionally.
