Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#65 Bill Spohn on EOS, Succession, and Almost Selling His Business
Q: What has electrification meant for your home and for TruTech's business outlook?
Electrification emerged as a practical, long-term strategy for energy efficiency and performance. The home project served as a live-case study for customers, while EOS-supported processes helped TruTech align offerings around energy-efficient tools, installation practices, and scalable systems for contractors.
#65 Bill Spohn on EOS, Succession, and Almost Selling His Business
Q: Can you walk us through the near-sale experience and what you learned from it?
The process involved engaging an investment bank, running a teaser to 1,500 buyers, and a thorough due diligence phase with a strategic buyer. Mid-way, the buyer's attention to detail and fit caused discomfort, the deal stalled, and ultimately prompted a pivot toward keeping the company family-owned and focusing on internal systems and succession planning.
