Today we’d like to introduce you to Phil Risher.
Hi Phil, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Phil Risher is the founder of Phlash Consulting, a digital marketing firm focused on helping home service businesses like HVAC, plumbing, and electrical companies grow their sales and maintain full schedules. After paying off $30,000 in student loans and saving $60,000 by age 25, Phil transitioned from working at Enterprise Rent-A-Car to entrepreneurship. He used his skills in SEO, email marketing, and social media to help a local duct cleaning company triple its profits, leading to the creation of Phlash Consulting.
Today, Phlash Consulting is a seven-figure business, recently featured in INC 5000 Best Workplaces in the US, that has helped clients scale their revenue by millions and achieve successful exits at 5-10x multiples. Phil’s insights have been featured in Forbes, CNBC, Business Insider, and Yahoo Finance, and he has appeared on industry-leading podcasts like “Jobber’s Masters of Home Services” and “The Green Industry Podcast.” His team now serves businesses across North America and Canada, helping them grow through data-driven digital marketing strategies.
