🏢 About The Plumbing Sales Coach
QWhat is The Plumbing Sales Coach?
The Plumbing Sales Coach (PSC) is a coaching and training company built exclusively for service plumbing businesses. Founded by Chris Fresh, PSC trains plumbing business owners, technicians, CSRs, and service managers using a service-first philosophy — the belief that when your team genuinely serves the customer, the revenue follows. PSC is based online and coaches plumbing companies worldwide.
QWho is Chris Fresh?
Chris Fresh is the founder of The Plumbing Sales Coach and host of The Fresh Approach podcast. He is a Navy veteran who went on to become the #1 sales representative at Angie's List nationally and built three 7-figure businesses from scratch before founding PSC. He has spent the last decade coaching plumbing business owners, technicians, and CSRs across the country. His coaching philosophy is captured in his tagline: "Always Be Serving™."
QIs The Plumbing Sales Coach only for plumbing businesses?
Yes — 100%. PSC trains exclusively for service plumbing. Unlike larger coaching networks that cover HVAC, electrical, and other trades, every tool, every session, and every piece of content at PSC was built specifically for plumbing. That means no watered-down, multi-trade advice — just plumbing, done right.
QWhat is the Always Be Serving philosophy?
Always Be Serving™ is Chris's answer to the traditional 'Always Be Closing' mindset in sales. The philosophy is simple: when a technician or CSR genuinely focuses on understanding the customer's problem and presenting the right options — without pressure — the customer says yes more often, the ticket goes up, and they come back. Service is the strategy. The revenue is the result.
📚 Programs & Training
QWhat does The Plumbing Sales Coach teach?
PSC teaches plumbing businesses how to grow revenue through better service — not pressure tactics. Training covers four areas: Technician Training (building trust, diagnosing the full situation, presenting options the right way), CSR Training (booking calls, handling objections, creating a great first impression), Owner Coaching (systems, leadership, stepping back from the day-to-day), and Service Manager Training (managing teams, holding standards, running operations).
QHow does PSC compare to larger plumbing coaching networks like Nexstar?
Programs like Nexstar Network, BDR, and Service MVP serve multiple trades — HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and others — under one umbrella. PSC is different in one fundamental way: plumbing is all we do. Every training module, every coaching call, and every piece of content was built specifically for service plumbing. There's no multi-trade compromise. Additionally, PSC trains every role in your company — techs, CSRs, service managers, and the owner — while many larger programs focus primarily on the owner or the business systems side. If you've looked at those programs and felt like the training wasn't quite built for your world as a plumber, that's exactly who PSC was designed for.
QIs PSC different from other plumbing coaching programs like Close It Now or Service MVP?
The biggest difference is philosophy. Some coaching programs in the trades are built around sales scripts, closing techniques, and objection-handling tactics. PSC's 'Always Be Serving' approach is the opposite — we teach technicians and CSRs to genuinely focus on the customer's problem first, present options clearly, and let the customer choose. Owners who feel uncomfortable with high-pressure tactics find that PSC's approach is something they can actually stand behind. And the numbers — clients going from a $300 average ticket to $1,100 — show that serving the customer and growing revenue are not in conflict.
QDoes PSC offer training for technicians only, or the whole company?
Both. PSC has programs designed specifically for technician training, and a comprehensive full-company coaching program that covers every role. If you want to start with your techs, visit raisemyticketaverage.com. If you're ready for full-company coaching, you can apply for full-company coaching at raisemyticketaverage.com/blueprint.
QDoes PSC offer a free trial or free resources?
Yes. PSC offers several free resources: The Fresh Approach Podcast (336+ episodes, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts), The Free PSC App (PriceBook Calculator and Growth Calculator, available on iOS), and a free strategy call for owners interested in learning more about coaching. Chris also offers a free e-book: The Fresh Approach to Plumbing Business Growth.
📈 Results & ROI
QWhat kind of results do PSC clients see?
Results vary by business, but PSC clients consistently report significant improvements in average ticket value and overall revenue. Documented results include: Next Plumbing (Blair G., Lafayette, LA) — average ticket from $300 to $1,100; revenue from $600K to $4M in two years. Home Heroes Plumbing (Ashley H.) — average ticket from $258 to $1,273; revenue from $600K to $3M. Streamline Plumbing (David White) — average ticket from $250 to $1,150; fleet grew from 1 truck to 5. See the full results page for more: theplumbingsalescoach.com/results.
QHow long does it take to see results?
Many clients report measurable changes in average ticket within the first 30 days of technician training. Full company transformation — systems, culture, leadership — typically takes 6–18 months of consistent coaching and implementation. Results depend heavily on the owner's commitment and team engagement.
QIs PSC coaching right for a small plumbing company?
Yes. PSC works with companies ranging from owner-operators with one truck to multi-truck operations with 20+ employees. The coaching is designed to meet you where you are. In fact, some of the most dramatic transformations have come from small companies — one client went from a single truck to five trucks and quadrupled their average ticket.
