How Jeremy Lost $36,000 on Marketing
And what he did next grew his revenue 150%.
Jeremy Payne owns Nexair Home Services in West Virginia — HVAC and plumbing.
Before he came to us, he spent $36,000 on SEO that didn't work.
Not $36K on ads. Not $36K on trucks or equipment.
$36K on a marketing company that burned through 12 months of his time and delivered nothing.
Think about that. A full year of growth.. gone.
Here's the worst part:
Jeremy's an accountant by trade. He knows numbers better than most. And even he got burned.
Because the problem with bad marketing isn't that it costs money. It's that it costs time.
Twelve months he can never get back.
Here's what happened when he fixed it:
→ Revenue grew 150% in year two
→ Went from bleeding cash to dominating his local market
→ Now scaling in a market being taken over by private equity — and winning
Jeremy sat down with our team and broke the whole thing down — the $36K mistake, what he learned, and exactly how he turned it around.
