Revolutionizing Moving Companies with AI: Nick DiMoro on CRM, ChatGPT & Smarter Marketing
Introduction Artificial Intelligence is no longer a concept reserved for tech
If you think running a moving company is just about lifting boxes—you’re missing the bigger picture.
On the premiere episode of the Movified Podcast, I, Mr. Mark Hirschi, welcomed four respected moving company owners to the mic to tell their origin stories, marketing strategies, and most unforgettable moving moments.
From Craigslist to cold calls, frozen goldfish to glass sex toys, these guests didn’t just build moving companies—they built cultures, legacies, and scalable operations across North America.
If you’re an aspiring moving company owner, logistics manager, or franchise hopeful, this is the blueprint—and the reality check—you’ve been waiting for.
Every guest started small:
You don’t need capital or perfection—just commitment and hustle. Your first truck could be from Craigslist, but your vision has to be crystal clear.
Let’s just say movers see it all:
Always expect the unexpected. Train your team to remain professional, composed, and neutral in any situation.
Before paid social ads, these movers leaned on:
Even today, Craigslist and Indeed still drive applicants and jobs.
Don’t wait for SEO to kick in—hustle locally. Old-school tactics are still gold, especially in saturated markets.
Shirts went missing. Jackets were “lost.” Crews showed up in basketball jerseys or cut-off tanks. So these movers responded:
Uniforms are branding. If your crew doesn’t respect them, clients won’t either. Consistency builds credibility.
Your worst moment might become your best growth. Push through early chaos with lean strategies, compliance, and courage.
Instead of just getting mad, they built systems—checklists, policies, training.
Safety isn’t just a policy. It’s a system. Make it idiot-proof, fast to verify, and consequence-driven.
This crew has moved:
Ask questions during quotes. “Is there anything fragile, oversized, or alive?” Save your team the surprise.
Each guest delivered their version of a 30–45 second elevator pitch to a hypothetical room of Realtors:
Know your unique value. Memorize your pitch. Make it confident, not cliché.

Starting and growing a moving company isn’t glamorous—but it is possible, profitable, and powerful.
Whether you’re navigating licensing, losing ramps on highways, or explaining a box full of vibrating toys to your crew—every misstep can lead to growth when approached with humility and vision.
“Make good friends, stay supported, and build something that matters.”
