From Window Cleaning to Game-Changing Software | Built Local Podcast
What happens when a professional mountain biker-in-training and business school grad launches a window cleaning company — and then turns it into one of the most professional operations in the world?
In this episode of the Built Local Podcast, I sit down with Kurt Kempton, founder of ResponsiBid, the sales automation platform built for home service businesses.
Kurt shares how his experience running a 5-star window care company led him to develop instant quoting, “Good-Better-Best” pricing packages, and smart follow-up tools that help home service companies close more jobs at higher prices with less effort.
If you’re a home service pro looking to level up your quoting, sales, and follow-up game, you won’t want to miss this one.
