ABOUT: Tim Reed is the Retail Sales Leader at Fireside Home Solutions in the Pacific Northwest where he helps his team members make it so stupidly easy to buy from them that there is no excuse not to. Starting as individual salesperson in an empty warehouse, he has grown Fireside’s Retail division by millions (after cutting his marketing budget by 90%). Tim has been invited all over the country to teach companies how to market effectively to their customers and sell more than ever before. His YouTube videos, sales blog, and “Fire Time Podcast” have become a resource for the industry and are actively helping thousands of people rethink their paradigms so that they can grow their businesses in the changing landscape. Tim learned “just enough to be dangerous” about sales, marketing, web development, and leadership from years of playing guitar in a failing punk band—which he swears has uniquely qualified him for his job today. Now considered one of the most innovative minds and compelling communicators in the industry, Tim uses his platform to serve others, helping them create clear messages that are wildly compelling to their audiences. Tim lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife, Jessica, two children, Olivia and Luke, and his 90 pound Golden Retriever, Walter. He still plays guitar in a failing punk band.

  • Season 16 Finale - Q&A Episode

    Season 16 Finale - Q&A Episode
    Jul 7 2026
    "You'd think eight out of ten people walk out with an estimate. Once you actually track it, it's under twenty percent every single time." In this episode, Tim closes out season 16 with the show's traditional Q&A—answering the sharpest questions listeners submitted while he was on the road teaching, including some real pushback on the systems he preaches. It's the practical, put-it-into-practice cap on everything the season covered. In this episode, Tim covers: - Why customers wander the showroom pointing at random fireplaces—and how nailing step two makes those distractions vanish - The case for never correcting a customer who asks for the "wrong" product—because being right isn't the same as making the sale - How to give a firm installation date on-site even when you're at the mercy of back orders and outside trades—and why "yellow zone, red zone" keeps your crew from ever going home early Don't miss Tim's raw take on why door swings are his favorite metric, why AI now makes tracking them effortless, and the Stephen Covey fish-tank lesson that explains how he juggles a full plate without letting the big rocks get buried—listen for the honest admission that his discipline exists precisely because he doesn't have it all figured out. —— Links from this episode: WhyFire Fireplace Al Visualizer: https://whyfire.com —— Watch this podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/s_4bXhz2wiw Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fire-time-podcast/id1433804268 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4vHdzg48bE5qFf0KjMeMej?si=7b6cae3923d348f2 Read The Fire Time Magazine: https://www.itsfiretime.com/magazine Subscribe to The Fire Time Magazine: https://itsfiretime.com/subscribe Support The Fire Time Podcast financially: https://www.itsfiretime.com/join

  • Dan Bonar - Win Business Through Relationships and Trust

    Dan Bonar - Win Business Through Relationships and Trust
    Jun 30 2026
    "We are the immovable number two. And it's okay being the immovable number two." In this episode, Tim sits down with Dan Bonner (Vice President of Residential Sales, ICC Chimney) to unpack how a privately owned chimney company turned restraint into its sharpest competitive edge. Dan's spent the last six years steering through a pandemic boom, a workforce that doubled, and tariffs that erased two weeks of work overnight. In this episode, Tim and Dan cover: - Why chimney *should* be a commodity—and how ICC deliberately makes theirs anything but by refusing to sell through hardware stores or big box. - The "boss versus leader" image Dan keeps in his head, and how he kept a frustrated team from walking out when every tariff solution got scrapped a day later. - Twenty-plus years of distributor relationships built entirely on handshakes—zero written contracts, anywhere in North America. Don't miss Dan's masterclass on the value wedge and the discipline of staying the "immovable number two"—a clear-eyed argument that constraints don't starve a business, they focus it, and that chasing every opportunity is how good companies die of indigestion. —— Links from this episode: Marketing Warfare: https://a.co/d/07Z9jdqN Fire Time Podcast Q&A Episode: http://itsfiretime.com/ask —— Watch this podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/y3-1wAHxxbA Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fire-time-podcast/id1433804268 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4vHdzg48bE5qFf0KjMeMej?si=7b6cae3923d348f2 Read The Fire Time Magazine: https://www.itsfiretime.com/magazine Subscribe to The Fire Time Magazine: https://itsfiretime.com/subscribe Support The Fire Time Podcast financially: https://www.itsfiretime.com/join
