From Survival Mode to 90% Close Rates: How a Regional Pest Control Company Captured Lost Revenue

Before a regional pest control company partnered with Slingshot, they were in survival mode. Calls were going unanswered, and less than half of their customers were on autopay—leaving money on the table. After a few months with Slingshot, they were:

  • Closing sales 80-90% of the time from several marketing channels
  • Went from 30-40% of customers on autopay to 60-70% of customers on autopay
  • Never missing a single sales call or chat inquiry without hiring new employees
