Leads, Data, and the Power of the Pivot with Marcus Piazzisi

In this episode of The TradeMarke Podcast, Sarah Ghirardo and Eric Thomas sit down with Marcus Piazzisi, founder and CEO of Viirl, to dig into the real-world strategies that drive results in home service marketing. From bootstrapping his agency with maxed-out credit cards to building a multi-million-dollar business, Marcus shares how Viirl became a major player by focusing on performance, not fluff.

The conversation covers everything from local lead generation and agency selection to tech stacks, reporting transparency, and how AI is reshaping operations across the trades. Plus, they talk about the importance of nurturing existing customers, planning for the slow season while you're in the busy one, and why “proximity is success” when it comes to in-home service opportunities.

If you’re a contractor, marketer, or agency pro in the trades, this episode will challenge how you think about marketing ROI, tech integration, and business strategy in today’s fast-moving climate.
