Guest: Alex Duta CEO/Founder at Albi (restoration management software) https://albiware.com/
Thinking about selling to PE? Alex explains why many contractors should hold and tech-enable instead then shows how to do it: AI for ops, revenue per-employee targets, CRM→Ads feedback loops, valuation math (service vs. software), and the QSBS play to keep more at exit. Real tactics for restoration/roofing/plumbing/HVAC leaders who want margin, scale, and optionality.
You’ll learn
- What “tech-enabled” actually means for a contractor (and how to measure it)
- A prioritization toolkit (RICE) to pick high-leverage automations first
- CRM→Google Ads conversion feedback to drop CPL & boost job size
- How tech enablement changes valuation multiples
- A primer on QSBS and why waiting can be worth millions
