Hello! I'm Gene McNaughton. I founded Geobear USA, where I built the business from the ground up and led its growth from 2020 through 2024.

During that time, I personally sold more than $4 million in residential and commercial foundation repair projects using geopolymer solutions, gaining firsthand experience in how these projects are found, evaluated, and won.

I also documented the entire sales system—from lead generation and site evaluations to presenting solutions and closing deals—turning the process behind those $4 million in personal sales into a repeatable framework contractors can use to grow their own businesses.

A Deeper Look

Complex products don’t require complex selling.
They require disciplined training.

When I was building Geobear, we sold geotechnical solutions.
Foundation stabilization.
Soil remediation.
Structural lifting.

Not exactly impulse buys.
Big-dollar decisions for homeowners, and none of it covered by insurance.  Cash money.

And here’s what I realized early:
It wasn’t the technical detail of the product that made selling difficult.
It was learning to explain it in language the buyers could understand.

90% of the people I worked with knew absolutely nothing about soil, settlement, clay soil issues, etc.

They knew that their house was settling/dropping, and the more it move the bigger the cracks on their walls and floor got.

Before I trained anyone, I mastered the sales process myself.

I refined:
How we screened leads.
How we converted opportunities into meetings.
How we ran discovery.
How we presented findings.
How we asked for the business.
How we increased average sales price.

Once my own conversions were strong, I documented every step.

Then I taught my team one principle:
“Just move the deal to the next step.”

Not:
“How much can we sell this for?”

But:
Do they have a real problem?
Can we solve it?
Is there urgency?
What’s the next step?

That mindset changed everything.

Here’s how I trained them:
First, they shadowed me.
They watched what “good” looked like.
Then we debriefed.
I let them critique me.
Then they ran the meeting.
I observed.
I coached immediately.

They repeated it until they mastered it.

No one moved to presentations until they could run a flawless first meeting.

No one presented pricing until they could present findings to me first.

No one closed until they practised closing multiple times internally.

Step by step.
Rep after rep.
Process before product.

Most companies throw new hires into the field and say,
“Go get ’em.”

That’s not training.
That’s hope.

Complex products don’t require smarter people.

They require:
A documented process.
Clear stage definitions.
Repetition.
Immediate coaching.

Mastery before advancement.
Selling isn't knowing everything about the product.

It’s knowing exactly what to do next.
