In this episode, we’re diving straight into what really matters in 2025—your brand. If your branding isn’t sharp and your marketing isn’t hitting hard, you’re already behind. John and Jack talk about why it’s non-negotiable to nail your brand this year and how it ties directly to dominating your market.

We walk you through how to set smart revenue goals and hit your targets. We also break down the benchmarks every HVAC, electric, and plumbing business needs to aim for, and why quarterly reviews are your key to staying on track.

We’ll also get into the real stuff: beating your competition, owning your zip codes, and why GMB and LSAs are still the power plays you need to leverage in 2025.

Key Highlights:

• Budgeting and revenue goals for 2025
• Benchmarking for HVAC, electric and plumbing
• Dominating zip codes
• Branding and marketing in 2025
