Meet the founder
Eric Johnson

Hey, I'm Eric.

I grew up around tradespeople. Then spent more than 20 years in sales, learning the playbook Fortune 500s use to answer every call and never lose a lead. Now I run the same playbook for local shops here in Central Texas.

The path here

From a fence crew in Mt. Shasta, CA to Fortune 500 tech, and back to the shops that raised me.

01 · ROOTS
Raised around tradespeople.
My first job was at a small shop in Mt. Shasta, CA that did fencing, landscaping, and painting. My family worked with their hands. I grew up watching owners who could build anything, and still lost jobs to a phone they couldn't pick up.
02 · 20+ YEARS
Two decades selling to the enterprise.
I spent two decades selling for companies like AT&T, Glassdoor, and Udemy, including five years at Gong, the AI the world's biggest sales teams put on their phone calls to make sure nothing slips through the cracks. That's where I learned what a missed or mishandled call actually costs, and how the big guys win: not from talent or budget, but from operational rigor and the right tech in the right places. How they catch every call. How they follow up on every lead in minutes. How they scale without dropping customers along the way.
03 · THE PIVOT
Why I'm building this for local shops.
The HVAC owner missing calls in a 100-degree crawl space. The plumber who watched a $4,000 job go to voicemail. The electrician booking three weeks out who can't keep up with new leads. They deserve the same tech the Fortune 500 takes for granted. That's why I started Blackland Systems.
How I work

Faith. Family. A handshake still means something.

I'm not a VC-backed startup chasing a valuation. I'm a family-run Texas shop building something my kids will be proud of.
✓
Hands-on, not hands-off.
Your system is built and tuned by me personally. No junior account reps, no offshore support tickets. You get my cell.
✓
No annual contracts.
A short minimum up front, then month-to-month. If it's not working for you, you walk. I only keep clients who see real results.
✓
Local first.
Pflugerville, Round Rock, Austin, Georgetown, Hutto, and Central Texas. And now the North Dallas metroplex and Collin County. We're a short drive away, not a support line in another time zone.

Senior Account Executive · North Dallas Metroplex

20+ years in advertising sales, and the last 8 at a 5-star roofing GC in North Dallas. I feel the missed-call pain first hand. I know what it's like to lose a $30K job because I missed the call and they called the next roofer on their list. As competitive as North Dallas is, I see the value in having no calls fall through the cracks.
