Cincinnati, OH · “The human who answers the phone.”

Tyler Spurlock is the Account Manager at Consent Resolve and the person on the team who actually talks to contractors every day.

He hears what's working directly from customers and walks it back to engineering before any marketing copy gets written.

Background
  • Owned financial reporting on a $92M division (Hotel del Coronado)
  • Daily consultative conversations with contractors
  • Consultative sales & account management
Writes about

The contractor's-eye view — what real shops actually say, ask, and need.
