The busy season doesn't create problems, it exposes them.

Every year, I see pest control companies hit the ground running... only to discover that the systems they relied on last season aren't enough for the growth they're aiming for this year.

The good news? You don't have to wait until you're overwhelmed to make meaningful improvements.

The slower months give you a unique opportunity to strengthen the foundation of your business before the phones start ringing nonstop.

In this PMP Magazine article, I share six strategic projects that can help position your pest control business for a stronger year—from building better systems to creating a team that's ready to grow with you.

The businesses that experience the least chaos during the busy season are usually the ones that prepared for it long before it arrived.

💬 If you could improve just one area of your business before the busy season, what would it be?

I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

🎙️ The very first episode of It’s Not About the Bugs is LIVE!

In Episode 1, meet Sheri Spencer Bachman and Laura Corbin, the mother-daughter team behind Pest Control Business Coach and the voices behind the podcast.

They’re kicking things off by sharing how they each found their way into the pest control industry, the roles they’ve held, the lessons they learned while growing and leading a pest control company, and how coaching became such an important part of their work.

They also dig into:

• The difference between mentoring and coaching
• Building the right team
• Understanding how people naturally work
• Learning to delegate
• Setting bigger goals
• Creating a business that doesn’t depend on the owner for everything

And most importantly, they share exactly why It’s Not About the Bugs exists.

Because there are plenty of resources that teach you how to kill bugs.

This podcast is about everything else it takes to build a successful pest control business.

Thank you for trusting the process, Michael!

The hardest question every business owner has to answer isn't about revenue... it's about responsibility.

When something goes wrong in your business, what's your first instinct?

- Blame the employee?

- Blame the market?

- Blame the customer?

Or do you stop and ask, "What could I have done differently as the leader?"

Great businesses aren't built by perfect leaders. They're built by leaders who are willing to look in the mirror.

Our free "Am I the Problem?" Business Health Quiz is designed to help you identify leadership blind spots, uncover opportunities for growth, and become the kind of leader your business needs.

It only takes a few minutes, and the insights could change the way you lead.

What if your biggest sales problem isn't your people... it's your process?

Too often, business owners expect sales success without giving their team a clear system to follow.

We wouldn't hand a new technician the keys to a truck and tell them to "figure it out." Yet that's exactly how many companies approach sales.

Sales isn't a personality trait, it's a skill. And like any skill, it requires structure, practice, coaching, and repetition.

In my latest PMP Magazine article, I share the five essential steps to building a sales system that helps your team sell with confidence, consistency, and integrity.

If you've ever wondered why some salespeople thrive while others struggle, this article is for you.

💬 I'd love to hear from you: What's the biggest sales challenge your business is facing right now?
