Why The Next Software Won’t Fix Your Business | Jenny Benbrook
Most owners think growth is just more leads, more techs, or the next whiz-bang software. It usually isn’t. In this episode, Chad sits down with Jenny Benbrook, co-founder and CEO of Powerhouse Consulting Group and ServiceTitan’s first professional services partner, to break down what’s actually broke in your business and which lever to pull to fix it. Struggling to figure out your tech stack or where your money is leaking? Book a call with my team and let’s map it out: https://40kl04.share-na2.hsforms.com/2vjCdLu7JSXOC8xR8hcg_SQ They get into why the average contractor wastes 25% of their tech budget, the four levels of a tech stack you have to build in order, and why AI is only as good as the broken processes underneath it. Chad Peterman grew Peterman Brothers from a small family shop into a 100M-plus home service company with 500-plus team members across the Midwest. Can’t Stop the Growth is where he shares what actually works for owners and operators scaling in the trades.

How I’m Building a New $1M/Month Division From Scratch in 90 Days
Most home service owners think growth means squeezing a little more out of what they already sell. Chad Peterman is doing something different, in real time where everyone can watch: building a brand new division from scratch to a million dollars a month in just three months, and documenting all of it, the wins and the mistakes. Chad grew Peterman Brothers from roughly $5 million to over $100 million across 15 years with more than 500 employees and 350 trucks. This is him starting something new from zero, with a public number and a public deadline attached, so there’s nowhere to hide if it doesn’t work. Want to grow your home service business?

How to Build a Technician Training Program With Just a Whiteboard
If you can’t find good technicians, can’t keep the ones you have, or you’ve ever cut training first when things got tight, this video is for you. Most owners treat training like an expense. Chad Peterman makes the opposite case: the most profitable room in his entire company doesn’t have a single customer in it. It’s where they train. Peterman Brothers grew from roughly $5 million to over $100 million with more than 500 employees, and one of the biggest reasons is a training program that takes people who have never touched the trade and turns them into technicians customers trust. Want to grow your home service business? Book a call with my team here: https://40kl04.share-na2.hsforms.com/2vjCdLu7JSXOC8xR8hcg_SQ Training isn’t the cost you cut when things get tight. It’s the investment that keeps things from getting tight in the first place.

If you’re starting a home services business or you’re early in one and can’t tell what actually matters from what just feels like it matters, this is the video for you. Chad Peterman, CEO of Peterman Brothers, grew the company from roughly $5 million to over $100 million in 15 years. Here he breaks down exactly what he’d do differently if he started over today, the few things he’d obsess over from day one, and the things he’d stop wasting time on immediately.

The Mental Game Every Home Service Owner Is Ignoring | Collin Henderson
We've all talked enough about KPIs, dashboards, and process. But the part almost no one in home services trains is the one that decides whether your people can actually execute under pressure: their mindset. In this episode, Chad Peterman sits down with mental performance coach Collin Henderson, former college athlete, author of The Oz Method, and the mind behind UCLA women's basketball's "Mind Gym," to break down how to train the mental side of performance for owners, leaders, and technicians alike. Collin opens up about the on-field panic attack that changed his life, why psychology beats strategy every time, and the exact daily tools that took him (and the people he coaches) from stuck to elite.If your techs are running four or five calls a day, carrying a bad interaction into the next home, or if you as the owner can't shake a rough month, this is the conversation that gives you the tools to reset, refocus, and perform when it counts. Get Collin's book The Oz Method on Amazon, Audible, or Spotify, and follow his work at https://www.thecollinhenderson.com/ Connect with Chad and the team: https://40kl04.share-na2.hsforms.com/2vjCdLu7JSXOC8xR8hcg_SQ Free Coaching for Home Service Pros: https://cantstopthegrowth.com/ Connect with Chad: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chad-m-peterman/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chadmpeterman Learn more about: Chad Peterman - https://chadmpeterman.com/ Peterman Brothers - https://www.petermancareers.com/

Cash vs Profit: The Mistake That Kills Growing Trades Businesses
You had a record month. The trucks were busy, the jobs closed, the P&L looked great, and you still stared at payroll wondering how you'd cover it. That feeling isn't a sign your business is failing. It's often a sign it's growing, and that's exactly what makes it dangerous. In this episode, Chad Peterman, CEO of Peterman Brothers, breaks down the single thing that actually kills home service companies: not profit, not revenue, but cash. Drawing on the hard-learned lessons of scaling from $5 million to over $100 million, including the 2024 rebuild after aggressive post-COVID growth, Chad explains why profitable, busy companies go under while looking healthy from the outside, and how to build a cash position that lets you grow without the constant pressure of wondering if the account can keep up. If you run an HVAC, plumbing, or electrical business, this is the financial conversation that keeps strong companies from quietly going under with a full pipeline.

The Hidden Cost Draining Your Home Service Business (Callbacks)
You had a month where the trucks were running, the team was slammed, and the bank account still didn't look right at the end of it. There's a cost sitting inside your operation most owners never isolate, because it shows up as a job you did twice and got paid for once. I'm Chad Peterman, CEO of Peterman Brothers, and in this episode I break down why callbacks are one of the most expensive events in a home services business, and exactly how we cut ours down. Measure your actual callback rate this week. You'll probably be surprised.
