Movified

We call ourselves moving companies. But are we thinking too small? The best operators in the industry are doing far more than moving household goods. They are handling commercial relocations, warehousing, FF&E, technology moves, installation, logistics, decommissioning, and complex projects across multiple markets. On this episode of Movified, host Mark Hirschi sits down with Jason Spaller, Vi...

If you own or operate a moving company and...

Your CRM sent the text. The automation fired. The customer got the message. So why aren’t the referrals coming in? Because your CRM isn’t enough. Most moving companies already have the technology to send follow-ups, ask for reviews, and stay in front of past customers. The problem is what happens after that first automated message. Landon Taylor has built Snoball around a simple idea: technology c...

That is chaos with clipboards. Mark Hirschi and Steven Reed break down the window in full: the three Cs of dispatch launch, the sign-in sheet system, why helpers never choose their own teams, how to staff...

On this Movified Mondays ,...

There is a position in your morning launch that nobody has taught you about. It is not a driver. It is not a dispatcher. It is not a manager. It is the Pusher Man .

Mark Hirschi and Steven Reed break down the Pusher Man in full: who fills the role, what...

The trucks are not the problem. Your dispatch is. It sounds harmless. The job is done. The crew is heading back. But when a truck returns to the shop without clear direction, your company is giving up time, fuel, payroll, second job revenue, rescue capacity, and actual control of the afternoon. All of it. On every job. Every single day. This is Push Culture Episode 1. Mark Hirschi and Steven Reed...

The cheapest CRM on the market is often the most expensive decision a moving company owner can make. If it slows your speed to lead, if your crew cannot dispatch correctly from it, if it goes down on a busy Friday, if it does not help you sell valuations, you are giving up more money staying on the wrong platform than you would ever save on the monthly subscription. Bill Bowles , CEO of Smart Movi...

You have to build it like a totally different business.

What if instead of sending two movers to every job, you sent ten? Jaron Denn had that thought one day while staring at his logo. He had four to six guys and more work than they could handle.
