Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rethinking Pool Business Growth with California Pool Partners
Q: What do you wish software companies, like Skimmer, better understood about the needs of larger, more complex pool services businesses?
Eric Johnston says software providers should address compounding complexity with system-level solutions, offer configurability without forcing owners to build custom tools, and maintain a clear product vision. He also emphasizes that reliable data and processes are essential for AI and software to work well.
Rethinking Pool Business Growth with California Pool Partners
Q: What is true at 200 pools that becomes completely wrong at 1,000 pools?
At around 200 pools, an owner may be able to keep customer and equipment details in their head and run the business directly. At 1,000 pools, with many technicians and office staff, that approach creates bottlenecks, so processes and responsibilities must be made repeatable.
Building a Pool Business from Scratch with Grant Baldwin of Best Day Pools
Q: What's your approach to finding and talking to pool owners who might sell?
He describes a long-term, relationship-first outreach strategy: identifying local pool operators, meeting for meals, and using a CRM-like system to track conversations and follow-ups, aiming for a sale that benefits both parties over time.
Building a Pool Business from Scratch with Grant Baldwin of Best Day Pools
Q: What inspired you to move from a speaking and training business into pool services?
Grant explains he sold his previous training company and, after exploring options, landed on pools as a meaningful new venture, focusing on acquiring local routes and building a business he could scale.
Building Better Businesses Through Community with Justine Rae of Skimmer
Q: What makes this year's summit different from previous ones?
