Built by Operators. Trusted by Contractors.
Blue Collar Growth Partners exists to give contractors and service businesses the same modern growth infrastructure that high-growth companies use, built around how the trades actually run.
“Contractors don’t need another marketing agency. They need an operator who’s scaled a blue-collar P&L and can install the systems that actually move revenue.”
Richard GaubertGrowth Architect
I've spent over 20 years inside the blue-collar world, selling, building teams, running operations, and exiting companies. I know what it takes to keep crews busy, close jobs, and protect margin when costs swing.
Most contractors don't have a sales problem or a marketing problem. They have an infrastructure problem. The systems that worked at $1M break at $5M. The team you built for $5M can't carry you to $20M.
Blue Collar Growth Partners was built to solve that. We deploy modern sales systems, AI automation, lead generation, and operational structure as one integrated growth engine, designed for how your business actually operates today.

Principles That Drive Every Engagement
Operator-Led Strategy
Only 23% of contractors have a documented growth plan, most rely on referrals and gut feel. Every system we deploy is built from 20+ years inside the trades: selling jobs, running crews, managing P&L. No frameworks borrowed from SaaS or agencies that have never swung a hammer.
Built Around Your Team
The trades face a 501,000-worker labor gap (ABC, 2024). Tech that your office manager and field techs won't actually use is wasted money. We design infrastructure around how your team already operates, dispatch, sales, follow-up, then layer AI on top so adoption is automatic, not forced.
Measured by Revenue
Top-quartile home-service companies close 50%+ of qualified estimates; the industry median sits near 30% (ServiceTitan benchmarks). We don't bill for hours, decks, or impressions, we move close rate, average ticket, and booked revenue. Every engagement reports against numbers your CFO can verify.
Long-Term Partnership
Contractors who keep an outside growth partner engaged 12+ months grow 2.3× faster than peers who project-hop (BuildBook, 2023). We integrate as a fractional growth seat on your leadership team, quarterly targets, weekly cadence, full ownership of the outcome. You scale; we stay in the boat.
