Elevate Your Sales: Gene Slade’s Final Blackbelt Training of 2025

This August, one of the most impactful events in the home service industry returns to Tennessee. From August 24 to 26, Gene Slade and the Lead Ninja System team will host their final Blackbelt Sales Training of the year – a three-day retreat designed to help sales professionals sharpen their skills, expand their networks, and gain systems that lead to real, trackable growth.

Set in the scenic Great Elkmont Lodge Mansion in Gatlinburg, this immersive event offers attendees more than traditional training. It’s a focused, distraction-free environment where HVAC, plumbing, and electrical professionals learn how to sell more effectively, communicate with confidence, and lead their teams with clarity.

As always, Lead Ninja Founder and CEO Gene Slade is at the heart of it all. His mission is to give service professionals the tools, coaching, and strategies they need to grow without sacrificing their time, energy, or personal lives.

A Focused 3-Day Experience for Service Professionals

The August retreat marks Lead Ninja’s return to the Great Elkmont Lodge Mansion, a 21-bedroom estate that can accommodate up to 67 guests. With a full theater, spacious breakout areas, and plenty of room for small-group coaching.

Over the course of three days, attendees will be guided through Gene’s signature EGSPA Sales Process – a five-step method designed to help sales teams improve close rates, handle objections, and sell multiple services during a single visit. From indoor air quality to water treatment solutions, the training covers practical techniques that can immediately boost revenue and customer satisfaction.

Attendees will also learn how to develop processes and team structures that reduce bottlenecks and increase efficiency. Whether you’re a technician looking to boost your ticket size or a business owner aiming to lead a more effective team, this retreat is designed to meet you where you are and equip you to go further.

The focus isn’t just on performance in the field – it’s also about creating more time, more confidence, and a better quality of life outside of work.

An Affordable Way to Access Elite-Level Training

This year’s event isn’t just packed with value – it’s more accessible than ever. Lead Ninja is offering a king suite for three attendees at a total price of $12,500. That price includes lodging, meals, and full access to all three days of training.

What makes this even more appealing is the flexible payment plan. Attendees can pay as little as $1,250 per month, and every applicant is guaranteed credit approval, regardless of their financial background. This model removes financial obstacles, allowing more service professionals to take advantage of the same training that has helped hundreds grow their revenue, improve customer relationships, and lead more balanced lives.

The timing couldn’t be better. With demand for trained, high-performing sales teams rising across the home service sector, companies are looking for strategic ways to stand out. According to market research, the global home care industry is projected to surpass $419 billion by 2032. Businesses that prioritize strong sales systems now will be best positioned to thrive in the decade ahead.

Gene believes access should never be the reason someone misses out on growth. That’s why Lead Ninja continues to offer payment flexibility, making sure opportunity is always within reach for the professionals who want it most.

A Community That Keeps Growing Long After the Event Ends

While the training is powerful, the community might be its most lasting benefit. For many attendees, the retreat offers a chance to build relationships with like-minded professionals from around the country – people who share the same goals, challenges, and hunger for more.

“Networking and being inspired by other people who have the same dreams and goals as you is one of the biggest benefits.”

The retreat also serves as a gateway to the Lead Ninja Mastermind program, an ongoing coaching experience that includes twice-weekly virtual sessions. Attendees who join the Mastermind after the event continue working with Gene and his team, staying sharp through practice sessions, live Q&As, and script-building exercises designed to keep their growth going strong.

Every part of this program is designed with a single goal: to help professionals get home on time for dinner with the confidence and income they’ve worked for.

The August retreat is the final chance this year to experience Lead Ninja training in person. With limited spots and high demand, it’s an opportunity that won’t last long and one that has already changed the trajectory of countless careers.

If you’re ready to level up your sales game, connect with a supportive community, and walk away with proven tools to grow your income and team, now is the time to secure your seat.
