Description

“Good help sure is hard to find” is a familiar rallying cry for contractors these days. Now, consider this…

What if you had plenty of eager young talent waiting right outside your door but were legally bound not to hire them?

Believe it or not, it’s a battle that Matt LaMartina, President and GM of Tony LaMartina Plumbing Company, and his fellow contractors in St. Louis are fighting today.

Hear how Matt has been leveraging partnerships, including the competition, to continue scaling his business as they fight for the right to employ more local apprentices.

Join us as we discuss:


- (7:45) Trying not to “grow broke” while meeting customer needs

- (18:18) Why you need to offer customers more than a phone number

- (24:23) How a partnership with a local school evolved into a fight for labor

Check out these resources we mentioned during the podcast:


- Nexstar 

- Ranken Technical Institute

You can find this interview and many more by subscribing to Toolbox of the Trades on Apple Podcasts, on Spotify, or here.
