Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 58: Sam Pizzo on What Separates Great Pool Builders
Q: Do you charge for design, and why?
We do not charge for design because the design process is viewed as an opportunity to educate homeowners, win their trust, and create the rendering that can lead to the project, even if we don't win every job.
Episode 58: Sam Pizzo on What Separates Great Pool Builders
Q: What is the market like currently in the Houston area?
The Houston market has been evolving with higher contract values and more clients asking for add-ons; it remains strong with growth driven by new construction and ongoing demand for outdoor living spaces, though it requires adapting to changing codes and regulations.
Episode 51: Amanda Annis on the Rise of Wellness in the Hot Tub Industry
Q: How does your work with IHTA/PHTA impact retailers, and what should retailers know about joining?
Membership provides access to education, benchmarking data, discounts, and advocacy resources that protect the industry and help retailers grow. The association focuses on retailer value and education, which strengthens everyone in the supply chain.
Episode 51: Amanda Annis on the Rise of Wellness in the Hot Tub Industry
Q: What made you decide to pivot from in-ground pools to focusing on portable hot tubs and wellness-oriented products?
The shift in seasonality and the ability to scale a more predictable, year-round business with retail, service, and wellness offerings. This allowed sustainable growth beyond traditional pool construction.
Episode 51: Amanda Annis on the Rise of Wellness in the Hot Tub Industry
Q: Tell us how you view the role of wellness in modern pool and spa marketing.
Wellness is central; customers are actively seeking health benefits, and products like hot tubs, swim spas, and cold plunges offer physical therapy, relaxation, and family bonding. Marketing should highlight health outcomes, accessibility, and the home as a wellness hub.
