Success with the Endless Customers System™ isn’t limited to one niche or sector. In fact, businesses across a surprising range of industries have transformed their growth trajectories by embracing this approach. 

From family-owned home service companies to high-tech software firms, the common denominator is a commitment to educating customers and building trust.

In this article, we’ll explore several real client stories to illustrate which industries are best suited to succeed with Endless Customers, and why. By the end, you may recognize traits of your own industry and see how you could follow in these footsteps.

The Power of Trust and Education (Across Any Industry)

At its core, the Endless Customers methodology (originally known as They Ask, You Answer) is built on a simple but radical principle: buyers want to be educated, not sold to. When a company becomes the teacher in its space by answering real questions with honesty and clarity, it stops chasing customers and starts attracting them.

This principle cuts across every industry because trust has become the new currency of business.

Whether you’re buying a new roof, choosing an insurance policy, or investing in software, the first thing every modern buyer does is research. They crave information. They want to feel confident in their decision. And they reward the companies that help them get there.

That’s why the Endless Customers framework works so well. It gives organizations the courage and process to do what buyers already want: open up, educate, and be transparent.

When a company stops hiding its pricing, starts addressing tough questions, and becomes a consistent source of insight, the results speak for themselves.

When trust becomes the foundation, growth becomes inevitable.

Don’t see your industry called out below? That’s actually an amazing opportunity!

Endless Customers isn’t limited to the examples we’ve shared; it simply means that in your space, very few (or none) have been bold enough to lead with radical transparency yet.

If you choose to teach first, you can earn first‑mover advantage: faster trust, faster word‑of‑mouth, and a durable position as the most helpful voice in your market.

Home Services & Construction

Few industries have seen a bigger transformation with Endless Customers than home services and construction. 

These are high-trust, high-stakes purchases. Customers are often skeptical, confused by pricing, and wary of being misled. That’s what makes transparency such a game-changer.

Bill Ragan Roofing (Nashville, TN) committed to radical transparency and consistency and saw revenue first double, then triple. After attending an IMPACT event, GM/Owner Taffy Ragan realized this couldn’t be a side project and hired a full‑time Content Manager (Matt). With coaching, they wove content into sales with Assignment Selling so homeowners arrived educated on scope, budget, and trade‑offs. 

The outcome: a 4,000% increase in contacts generated, a reputation for honesty in a skeptical market, and a durable “long‑game” engine that fuels steady inbound demand.

RoePaint.com, a Boise-based painting company, leaned into education to fuel local demand. With coaching, they hired a content manager, rebuilt their website around buyer questions, and published clear explainers on pricing, scope, and timelines. They also equipped sales with these resources for assignment selling, so prospects arrived to conversations already aligned on budget and expectations. 

The result: more inbound opportunities and faster-moving deals. Proof that even in a “commodity” trade, the company that teaches first becomes the trusted choice.

Professional & Financial Services

Few industries require more trust than financial services. Customers are dealing with confusing information, complex regulations, and decisions that impact their lives for years. 

That’s why Endless Customers has been a perfect fit for companies that want to stand out by being radically transparent.

Berry Insurance, a family-owned agency in Massachusetts, decided to flip the script on how insurance is sold. Instead of chasing leads with ads, they started answering questions. 

They answered everything from “How much does homeowners insurance cost?” to “What’s not covered under flood insurance?” Within months, their leads surged. Clients began showing up to calls already informed and confident, and they were able to triple their revenue.

Their president, Kaitlyn Pintarich, described the transformation perfectly: “We stopped being insurance salespeople and became educators.”

On the B2B side, Superior Trucking Payroll Service (a niche payroll provider serving trucking companies) shifted from DIY efforts to coaching and saw momentum fast. Within a year, leads nearly tripled. They formalized the role of a content manager, began publishing short-form video and podcasts, and implemented self-service tools on their website. 

The team now enjoys a steadier drumbeat of qualified conversations each week. Even specialized professional services can unlock growth by educating a focused niche and aligning sales around that content.

Manufacturing

Mazzella Companies is a B2B manufacturing company in the lifting and rigging space. Their CEO made it a company-wide mission to become “the best teachers in the world.” They published pricing guides, safety tutorials, and explainer videos that demystified their products. 

Within 18 months, their content contributed to nearly $20 million in new revenue. In an industry known for secrecy, Mazzella proved that the company willing to ‘show what others won’t’ wins the trust (and the business) of the market.

Strauss (precision converter of adhesives and flexible materials) used a simple sales‑enablement package to cut time‑to‑close roughly in half. Before first meetings, every prospect received a short “What to know before you buy” video, a plain‑English pricing overview, and a concise FAQ tailored to their use case. Reps tracked views and referenced the materials on the call. 

The effect: fewer no‑shows, faster qualification, and first conversations that started deeper because buyers arrived aligned on scope, budget, and trade‑offs. As marketing and sales aligned around this play, the team saw steadier pipelines and smoother handoffs. One single article was able to generate over $200,000 in sales.

Technology & SaaS

In industries filled with jargon, complexity, and skepticism, the companies that educate buyers first always win.

ThoroughCare, a healthcare software provider, used to rely on an outside agency for marketing. But with guidance from IMPACT’s coaches, they built their own internal marketing team focused on answering the real questions their prospects were asking. Four years later, they had doubled their revenue year after year. 

They stopped outsourcing marketing and started owning their message, and their growth.

AIS (Las Vegas–based managed IT and office technology provider) brought inbound in‑house and built a consistent publishing engine. Led by VP of Marketing Keven Ellison, the team began producing two blog articles and one video each week answering buyers’ questions about copiers, printers, leasing, and IT services. 

They attributed $100,000+ in initial sales within the first year (over $500K in LTV), and in 18 months, AIS saw a 350% increase in new leads. They’ve used AI‑assisted workflows to scale up content production while keeping the human voice intact and aligning sales and marketing on HubSpot’s CMS. It’s a model for tech firms that need both velocity and trust.

Common Traits of Winning Industries

While these stories come from different sectors, the businesses that succeed with Endless Customers share the same DNA:

  • They deal in considered purchases. Whether it’s a roof, software system, or insurance policy, buyers in these industries do their homework. They research deeply, and they reward the companies that help them learn.
  • They have a real sales cycle. Purchases move through stages (research, evaluation, approvals) and often involve multiple stakeholders. Educational content and Assignment Selling align expectations early, reduce friction, and shorten time‑to‑close.
  • They desperately need transparency. Consumers generally get frustrated by the lack of honest education and communication in these industries. The businesses that embrace it will win trust fast.

These traits matter more than industry. Success with Endless Customers is all about how you teach.

Who Endless Customers Is Not For

The Endless Customers approach isn’t for every type of business—and that’s completely okay. Some companies simply don’t have the kind of buying process or customer journey that requires deep education or trust-building. For those organizations, the system likely isn’t necessary.

Endless Customers is probably not a fit if:

  • Your buyers make quick, low-stakes decisions that don’t require much research (like choosing a restaurant or buying apparel online).
  • You primarily sell low-cost, transactional items where personal trust and education doesn’t drive the buying decision.
  • Your marketing strategy depends more on speed, trend cycles, or retail visibility than on long-term customer education.

There’s nothing wrong with that. Businesses like cafés, e-commerce stores, and retail shops succeed by delivering great experiences, not detailed buyer education.

Endless Customers is simply built for organizations that thrive on trust, transparency, and long-term relationships, and where customers are making bigger, more considered choices.

If that describes your world, Endless Customers gives you the roadmap to turn that trust into sustainable growth.
