We’re the Growth Partner You Wish You Hired 5 Years Ago
Chad Howald
Chad’s Story: Our co-founder Chad has walked in your boots. He’s successfully owned and operated his own landscaping business since 2004, living the contractor reality every day: missed calls when you’re on a job, scheduling headaches, and trying to grow while staying focused on the work that pays the bills.
Neil Gass
Neil’s Story: Neil brings 30+ years of business development experience, having built a multi-million dollar franchise business from the ground up. With a BS in Psychology and MBA in Business Management, he’s coached and consulted with hundreds of small businesses to install systems that drive real growth.
Our Mission: Together, they led Grow Smart Marketing to Inc 5000 recognition (#751), but they saw how contractors were losing opportunities simply because they couldn’t answer every call fast enough. That’s why they created ContractorBot – not as a tech experiment, but as a practical solution based on real business experience from both sides of the contractor world.
We didn’t just build ContractorBot as a tool to make money — we’ve spent years coaching business owners on how to find simple, scalable growth. Our systems are currently answering calls and booking appointments for contractors across the country.
The Difference: When you work with ContractorBot, you’re not getting another tech vendor. You’re getting experienced business coaches who know what works, walk you through the process, and won’t stop until your calendar’s full. We built this by understanding what contractors actually need to grow their businesses, not in a lab.
