Description

In this episode of the Franchise Marketer Podcast, I chat with David List, founder of Trade Magnet and a former tradie turned automation specialist. David shares how he went from being a sparky to building advanced automation systems for trades and home service businesses.

We cover:

  • Why most businesses waste money on broken automation setups

  • The software stack that works best for tradies and franchisees

  • How Go High Level and ServiceM8 can streamline lead capture, quoting, and job management

  • Real examples of automations saving time and reducing admin load

  • The right (and wrong) way to use AI in customer service and business processes

  • Why mapping your processes comes before adding automation

If you’re a franchisor, franchisee, or service business owner who wants to cut through the noise and see what’s really possible with automation, this episode is packed with practical insights.
