With nearly two decades of experience in direct sales and renewable energy, J.D. shares insights every new or struggling rep and every manager leading a team can use to build resilience, diversify skills, and prepare for the changing landscape of home services. From his early days knocking doors in New York to building companies in security, solar, and roofing, J.D. has experienced the highs, the setbacks, and the pivots that come with this industry. He’s seen firsthand how market shifts, financing changes, and industry consolidations can make or break a business and he explains why adaptability is the key to long-term growth.
