Why Tersh Blissett
Stands Out

Tersh Blissett is the co-founder and CEO of Trade Automation Pros and has spent 24 years in the HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades. He still actively owns and operates service companies in the Savannah and Pooler, Georgia market, giving his work in AI and automation a practical foundation most consultants cannot claim. Through Trade Automation Pros, Tersh helps contractors use his Optimize, Automate, Delegate framework to simplify operations, reduce busywork, and build systems that scale. He is also the co-founder of PhoneTAP, an AI call-analysis platform built for home service businesses, and the co-host of Service Business Mastery, one of the largest podcasts in the home services industry. His authority comes from a rare combination of field experience, business ownership, media reach, and hands-on automation strategy.
