How AI and Digital Tools Are Changing the Way Home Services Sell

Your customers are changing how they buy. If your business isn’t adapting, you’re already behind.

In this episode of Catalyst for the Trades, Jennifer Bagley talks with Josh Koplin from Eden about how AI and digital tools are reshaping the home services industry. They explain what today’s customers expect, and how companies can meet those expectations with fewer steps, more control, and instant results.

This isn’t a trend. It’s a shift. And it’s happening fast.
