Chris Behan has been in digital marketing since before Google was a thing. He was generating leads online while most people were still figuring out what the internet was. He's generated tens of millions of leads for home improvement companies, built and exited a business focused entirely on this industry, and now he's the president of Truvolv.

He also has a very specific point of view on why your leads are getting more expensive and your results aren't keeping up - and spoiler alert, it has nothing to do with how much you're spending.

In this episode of The TruCoach Podcast, Chris joins industry legend Brian Gottlieb in breaking down why website speed is the most overlooked conversion lever in home improvement marketing, why the agencies telling you to spend more are selling you old technology.

There's also a conversation about something most home improvement companies never think about: the difference between brand story and direct response, and why leaning too hard on one without the other turns your marketing into a barking dog your customers eventually stop hearing.

Brian Gottlieb built a home improvement company from $3,000 on a plastic folding table to a $150 million exit. Eric Bohner has spent 27 years inside this industry, across hundreds of businesses, watching owners get stuck at the same walls over and over.

In this first episode of The TruCoach Podcast from Truvolv, Brian and Eric lay out the founding vision behind TruCoach and the problems it and Truvolv exist to solve.
