Alright trade pros, buckle up for a no-fluff episode packed with gold. Today on Born For The Trades, your host Mandeep sits down with one of the most respected voices in garage door marketing, Robb Leishman. Robb is the Founder and Co-Owner of Legit5 Garage Door Marketing, the brains behind some of the most recognizable garage door brands out there. He’s a sales expert with a deep understanding of what actually converts in the real world. If you’ve ever wondered why some leads close fast and others fizzle out, this is the conversation you need to hear.
Robb brings his years of experience and hard-earned insights to the mic as we dive into a topic that’s become a battleground for many in the trades — Google leads versus social media leads. These two sources are not created equal, and Robb makes it clear why understanding the mindset behind each one is critical if you want to scale your business. You’ll learn how intent plays a massive role in the customer journey, and why chasing likes won’t always turn into dollars.
Mandeep asks the tough questions. What’s the real difference between these two lead types? How should your team respond differently to a Google searcher versus someone who clicked a Facebook ad? Robb breaks it down with examples, calling out the biggest mistakes home service companies make when they treat all leads the same. From messaging and follow-up timing to which platform deserves your focus first, this episode gives you the tools to finally stop wasting money and start closing more jobs.
You’ll also get a peek into Robb’s bestselling book Garage Door Gameplan and hear one tactic that applies directly to navigating the two very different lead mindsets. Whether you’re a new business owner or a seasoned pro trying to fine-tune your marketing strategy, Robb lays out a clear path forward that balances quick wins with long-term growth.
This isn’t just another marketing episode. It’s a wake-up call for anyone in the trades who’s tired of chasing leads that don’t convert. Robb’s insights apply beyond garage doors and can help any home service entrepreneur get smarter about where they spend their money and how they handle their prospects.
Press play and get ready to look at your leads in a whole new way.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
