In this week's "Emergency Pod" session Matt talks about the challenges and strategies involved in pricing, marketing, and running a mosquito control franchise, all while dealing with multiple disasters in the span of one morning.

His reflections on three months of business ownership include:

The importance of raising prices to reflect the value and target higher-end customers
Focusing on perceived value is key, as wealthy customers are willing to pay more for the best quality.
Identifying talent as a marketing issue (Thank you, Ryan Englin )and aiming to hire and train high-value talent to deliver exceptional service.

Despite the challenges, Matt is determined to push through the growing pains and achieve success.

Key Points:
