The [More] Hands We’ll Need Tomorrow

The future favors those who are ready to build it.

AI is moving fast.

It’s sweeping across offices — handling paperwork, schedules, emails, service reminders.

But it’s not coming for the people who fix, build, and repair.
It’s not replacing the hands that turn wrenches or climb ladders.

It’s clearing the desk... and clearing the way.

We see it coming:
A resurgence in the trades.
A fresh wave of opportunity for the people willing to learn a craft and show up in the real world.

The trades are about to become the foundation of a world that's more automated — not less.

If you run a home service business, this is good news.
Demand is growing.
Wages are rising.
Respect for skilled work is returning.

The horizon looks strong.
And the companies preparing today will be the ones leading tomorrow.

A few expert steps to get ready:

• Recruit early. Start building relationships with schools, trade programs, and apprentices now. Talent pipelines don't appear overnight.

• Invest in training. AI is streamlining admin work. Use the margin to double down on developing your people.

• Optimize your lead flow. When your fleet is ready, you’ll need steady, quality opportunities to keep them climbing.

At VitalStorm, we help you make sure that when the trucks are ready... the calls are too.

The future is bright.
Get ready to build it.

P.S. I shared a deeper look at this shift for home service companies in this week's post.

Thanks for being here.
