## Resource

On this episode of the Jared Williams Show, sales trainer Doug Wyatt of Synergy Learning Systems joins host Jared Williams to dismantle the sales stigma in trades like plumbing and HVAC, advocating ethical influence over high-pressure tactics through his 7 Foundations of Effective Communication—emphasizing mindset shifts, wordsmithing (e.g., "investment" vs. "fee"), RARE listening, and passionate EKG delivery to boost average tickets from $500 to $3,000+ without discounts. Drawing from his journey scaling companies from $1M to $7M amid recessions via communication mastery, Doug outlines three success pillars (technical, ops/marketing, influence), shares strategies for handling objections (bids, brands, stalls, price) to hit 60-90% close rates, managing "cancer" employees with 30-day plans, and scaling via direct mail frequency over blankets. Jared reveals implementing a fraction of Synergy's training added $1.2M revenue (net +$850K) with one fewer tech at his Alaska firm, concluding that focusing on value-driven communication transforms trades businesses and families ethically, with a free RARE Listening module offered at synergylearningsystems.net/rare.
