   💸 Stop Wasting Money on Marketing That Doesn't Work | Nicole Bergen from Elevate

   Are you wasting money on marketing without realizing it? Patrick Somers sits down with Nicole Bergen of Elevate Market Research to explain why the four most expensive words in marketing might be: “I think I know.” Nicole breaks down how consumer research can reveal who actually knows your brand, what homeowners think about you, whether they would hire you, and where your marketing dollars are really making an impact. Nicole shares how home service companies can potentially squeeze 15–20% more value from their existing marketing spend by replacing assumptions with real customer data. From branded search and Google LSAs to demographic opportunities, creative messaging, AI-driven search, and the importance of having operations ready before generating more leads, this episode gives HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other trades businesses a smarter framework for building their 2027 marketing strategy.

   🛠️ Raising the Next Generation of Tradespeople

   Can a teenager entering the trades really become a business owner? Patrick Somers and Francisco Rodriguez share how they went from entry-level jobs to becoming co-owners of an HVAC, plumbing, and electrical company—and what it actually took to get there. They break down the lessons that shaped their careers, from finding great mentors and mastering the technical side of the trade to taking responsibility, developing leadership skills, and understanding the financial risks behind business ownership. Now they're helping raise the next generation of tradespeople, including their own sons. Patrick and Francisco discuss college vs. the trades, getting paid to learn, saving and investing early, building customer trust, and why mentorship matters if you want to move beyond being a technician. The skilled trades can create incredible opportunities, but success requires discipline, education, sacrifice, and a willingness to keep learning.

   💰 How to Turn Seasonal HVAC Work Into Year-Round Revenue

   What if your HVAC business could stop chasing seasonal demand and start planning for it? In this episode of The Tradepreneur Show, Patrick Somers breaks down how contractors can prepare their customers, technicians, inventory, marketing, and office teams before the next busy season arrives. From retraining technicians and adjusting truck stock to preparing CSRs and planning seasonal marketing, the goal is simple: stop reacting and start getting ahead. Patrick also explains how HVAC service calls can become long-term customer relationships instead of one-time transactions. By educating homeowners, documenting system needs, offering maintenance agreements, and using slower seasons to stay connected, contractors can create more predictable revenue while delivering more value. His challenge: look 90 days ahead and ask what you can do today to make your next season easier and more profitable.
