LEHI, UTAH, November 24, 2020 — Slingshot, the leading 24/7 customer engagement and sales service platform for home services providers, named to Deloitte’s 2020 Technology Fast 500™ list. Slingshot is the 7th-ranked Utah-based company on the list, ranking 294 in North America.

Slingshot drives growth by helping pest, lawn, snow, HVAC, and other home services businesses exceed customer expectations in the on-demand economy where quick response times and customer satisfaction are imperative to success.

Jon Soldan, Slingshot COO, highlights the importance of focusing solely on the home services industry, while still expanding the services they offer. “Our agents know how to close when it comes to home services. We’ve taken that knowledge and applied it to other areas where our clients are looking for support: customer success, emergency response, accounts receivable (AR), and more.”  Soldan credits the company’s ability to maintain their speedy response times, quality, and performance to their hiring strategy and focus on technology.

  • $25 million closed for Slingshot clients (averaging $1 million per week in peak season)
  • $3 million collected in a single month by the AR team 
  • 1 million customer interactions for the year reached in October
  • 2x annual growth in last two years
  • Over 200 new agents hired
  • 4.9 average out of 5 scored on agent friendliness scale
  • 70k outbound AR calls made

Taylor Olson, Slingshot CEO, feels that being named to the Deloitte list confirms that what Slingshot is doing as a tech-enabled service company is changing the way home services providers are engaging with customers and growing their businesses. “Home services companies understand more than ever that limited or lack of technology creates a substandard customer experience that will lose out to competitors time and time again. Consumers can jump ship on a service or company with a couple swipes on their phone, so creating a customer experience that not only impresses new customers but gives them a reason to stay is critical and can’t be done without technology in 2020.”
