Join our host as she sits down with Joanne Scioli, founder of JBS Inspection Services, who built a thriving specialized business using scent detection canines to uncover bed bug infestations. Joanne shares how she turned an unexpected layoff into an opportunity, navigated the challenges of building a service-based business from scratch, and leveraged her network—and a lot of trial by fire—to grow her reputation.
She opens up about the power of referrals, setting boundaries around free work, and why empathy and non-judgment are crucial when working in clients’ homes. Whether you're just starting or looking to scale your service business, Joanne's hard-won lessons on marketing, resilience, and customer relationships will inspire you to take the next step.
