The Successful Contractor Podcast

Bob Houchin

Booking Overview

This is a trade-business interview show focused on residential HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing contractors, typically featuring working technicians, sales professionals, and owner-operators with concrete business-growth stories. Agencies could credibly pitch residential service-company owners, trade sales leaders, and technicians with measurable revenue results, sales-process expertise, or compelling operational turnarounds; booking difficulty is medium because guests need strong, relevant performance evidence rather than broad celebrity recognition.
