Join “PMP Industry Insiders” podcast hosts Donnie Shelton (Coalmarch, Triangle Pest Control) and Pest Management Professional Financial Columnist Dan Gordon, CPA (PCO Bookkeepers, PCO M&A Specialists), as they pull back the curtain on what growing pest control companies need to know to stay ahead of the competition.

Inspired by the positive industry reception the duo received from their series of webinars this year, Shelton and Gordon plan to use the weekly podcast to bringing pest management professionals “insights and best-kept secrets from leaders who are driving the future of the industry when it comes to operations, finance, marketing, sales, customer experience, and team-building.”
