For more than 25 years, I've worked behind the strategy, marketing, and advertising for some of the world's largest brands — the kind with massive budgets, sophisticated funnels, and conversion infrastructure most small businesses never get to see, let alone use.
I've done every kind of marketing along the way. Grassroots. Brand campaigns. Direct response. Search. Social. Email. SMS. Automated funnel creation. Sales enablement. The full conversion stack — from the first time a customer hears about a brand, through the funnel, all the way to the moment they pull out their wallet.
Here's what I learned along the way: most local service businesses are running almost none of it.
Not because the owners aren't smart or talented. Quite the opposite — they're some of the most skilled, hardest-working people I've ever met. But they're stretched thin between running crews, scheduling jobs, handling emergencies, and trying to "do marketing" in whatever time is left of the day. The systems that turn a missed call into a booked job, an estimate into a closed customer, or a one-time visit into recurring revenue — those systems exist. Big brands run them every day. Local service businesses almost never see them.
That gap is why I built CallSpring.
CallSpring takes the playbooks I've spent decades refining at the enterprise level and rebuilds them at a scale that actually fits a plumbing, HVAC, or electrical business. Same logic. Same conversion principles. Same speed-to-lead, follow-up automation, and reactivation strategy that powers the big brands — just stripped of the corporate overhead and built to deploy in a week, not a year.
Background highlights
- Strategy & positioning for Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies
- Multi-channel campaigns across paid search, social, email, SMS, and traditional media
- Funnel architecture and automated lead-nurture systems
- Conversion rate optimization on properties processing millions of visitors
- Brand development and product launches in highly competitive markets
- AI-powered customer communication and response systems
My goal
I want every local service business owner to have access to the same lead-recovery and conversion infrastructure the big brands take for granted. Not because they need to compete with Coca-Cola — but because they shouldn't have to lose another $50,000 in missed calls just to find out the tools that could have caught them ever existed.
