In this episode, we’re talking with Dave Harrison, professor, consultant, and speaker. And, by the way, unknowingly (until recently) he played a major role in the early success of gFour Marketing.

As a serial entrepreneur, Dave started a number of companies, but he eventually landed in the corporate world. And quite by accident, he began transforming large companies that were technically bankrupt into successful entities. He then took that talent and joined GAF Materials Corporation, where he became a Chief Marketing Officer.

Dave knows that the key to success is delegating the major parts of your business and building a strong team around you. You’ll understand the importance of this when you’ve heard what he has to say. Pay close attention because there is an abundance of important success clues in this episode.

According to recent industry research, many contractors have reported record sales in 2019 but did NOT report record profits! So what gives? 

So why is it that it is quite common for home improvement companies to knock it out of the park with sales and often NOT maintain and grow profits?

That's what we'll explore in this important joint webinar with Tim Musch from MarketSharp.

You'll learn about the 4 important strategies for not only making more money in 2020 but keeping more of your hard-earned money in 2020 and beyond.

On this week’s podcast, I’m doing something a little different. Instead of talking with a home improvement contractor, I’m talking with Marc Levesque, co-founder of Webrunner Media. His company does just one thing – it helps contractors generate leads.

Marc began selling a technology that helped agencies manage media buys across multiple platforms such as Facebook, Google and LinkedIn. He eventually started his own company and was able to build a niche in the home improvement industry.

Lead generation is such an important part of your business and Marc has become an expert in creating leads for contractors online. I like what he’s doing - he’s doing it right and I think you’ll agree when you listen to this podcast.

On today’s podcast, we’re talking with Deren Scott Monday from Kitchen & Bath CRATE in Modesto, California. Deren’s business is a bit different from the other guests we’ve talked with.

Deren and his wife were in one of those members-only big box stores and began joking about the fact that the store sold nearly everything except kitchen remodels. 

Deren’s story is unique in that he has done an amazing job of systemizing a business that's difficult to systemize. He became intentional in his actions and took a “profit first” approach to boost his business. Success leaves clues, so listen to this podcast two and three times so you don’t miss any of the valuable nuggets Deren shares.

This week’s guest is Frank Farmer, President and CEO of American Metal Roofs in Flint, MI. 

Frank grew up in an extremely impoverished family with the unlikely dream of becoming a physician. Right before he graduated Michigan State University, he realized that being a physician wasn’t practical for him.

He knew someone who was successful working within a window business and took a position in that industry. Working his way up, he helped grow that company to over $20 million before leaving to start his own company, American Metal Roofs.

From his system-building methods to the interesting process he used to develop the morals within his business, there’s a lot to take away from this conversation, so you’ll probably want to listen to it more than once.

Megan got her start in marketing when she was just 17 years old as a telemarketer for vacation memberships. Now an expert at outbound home improvement marketing, she’s been a key factor in growing Weather Seal from a $1.7 million business to a $10 million, well-oiled machine. 

I urge you to go back and listen to this podcast a couple of times because when you hear Megan talk about how this business works, you’ll realize that it’s not rocket science. Everything that comes out of Megan's mouth is pure gold, so listen closely for nuggets.

On today’s episode, we’re talking with partners Bryan Miller and John Gwaltney of Outback Deck, Inc. located in Woodstock, GA. 

Bryan has been in the construction industry for over 25 years, and 10 years ago he came out of a franchise business to join forces with John (who was a competitor) to launch Outback Deck. Together these business partners created systems and processes that built one of the largest outdoor living brands in the southeast.

If you’re in a partnership or thinking about entering into one, be sure to listen extra carefully. For those of you not in a partnership, there’s a lot of useful information for you as well.

On this week’s podcast, we’re talking with another return guest, Bob Quillen, of award-winning Quillen Brothers Windows in Ohio.

Bob’s story is an interesting one, from his humble beginnings growing up in a family on welfare, to a stint in the Marine Corps, to the overwhelming success he enjoys today. He describes his very successful business as “a self-improvement company that happens to sell home improvements.” 

I personally learned a lot on this call and in fact, he inspires me every time we speak. Listen closely and I’m sure he’ll do the same for you.

On today's episode, we're talking with the founder of Bathroom Buddy Remodeling, John Huxtable.

After spending years in sales and marketing producing TV commercials, John became interested in the home improvement industry. He joined forces with his younger brother to open a home remodeling business that would take on just about any job their customers wanted. A few years later - while attending our Accelerate Live event - a lightbulb went off in his head and together with his brother, they made a decision that would change the entire course of their business within just 3 months.
