To learn more about Breakthrough Academy, click here: https://trybta.com/pca-ce We spend a lot of time on this show on systems, best practices, and tactics. But Today’s conversation is a human one. Our very own BTA Member, Brady Williams of Ox Glass, went through one of the most terrifying and harrowing experiences you will ever hear about. On June 8th, 2023, while Brady was at a business retreat thousands of miles away, his son James (back home in Utah) fell backward off a third-story balcony straight onto his head. Shattering his skull, puncturing his lung, and damaging a number of other vital organs. He was given minimal chances of survival. Even if that did happen, James's normal life was completely off the table. If you want systems or tactics, come back next week. Today’s conversation is about James' miraculous battle for survival, Brady’s experience as a father, and how the OX Glass Team rallied around to support a family in their time of need. 00:00 - Intro 04:43 - The Night Of The Accident 05:32 - James' story 31:41 - Brady’s Life Lessons 42:26 - How Did Ox-Glass Survive? 01:06:15 - Advice for Entrepreneurs going through hell Subscribe to Breakthrough Academy to never miss a video! � http://bit.ly/youtubebta Interested in working with us?

Join us on the Beyond a Million Dollar Podcast as we engage in a compelling conversation with industry experts Mike Katounas and Rick Holtz about the transformative power of training and development in the paint contracting world. As we navigate the challenges posed by a shrinking workforce, Rick introduces us to the on-the-job training strategy at H.J. Holtz & Son, Inc., where a veteran employee mentors others with the support of an operations manager. We dissect the importance of bespoke systems and consistency in business growth, and Mike weighs in on the complexities of managing subcontractors at Home Works Painting, emphasizing the necessity for clear expectations and protocols to uphold standards.

Discover how effective communication and avoiding menial tasks for new recruits can transform their experience. We delve into successful integration strategies, such as creating training rooms and standardized operating procedures, alongside the merits of exposing new hires to different crew leaders for diverse experiences and feedback. Our discussion underscores the investment in systematic training and onboarding as a cornerstone for nurturing a skilled and dedicated workforce. We also share insights into the inner workings of a healthy organizational strategy, revealing how structured crew leader and operations meetings bolster team cohesion and communication. You'll get a glimpse into the use of scorecards for tracking performance, the utilization of technology to keep teams aligned, and the pivot towards collaborative meeting structures that empower team members and enhance accountability. Through real-world experiences, Rick and Mike affirm the impact of frequent, but, more importantly, focused meetings in creating a united company culture and driving business success. Tune in for a treasure trove of practical advice on refining your company's training, onboarding, and communication practices for lasting growth. It's a great episode with Scott, Rick, and Mike!

Carl's story is both fascinating and inspiring; from a thriving musician to a starving salesman, and eventually becoming a successful sales trainer with a specialty in the painting industry. He shares his invaluable lessons from his early days of selling insurance door-to-door and his unique approach to reframing objections. Carl also provides valuable advice for commercial painters looking to develop new accounts. We don't just stop at Carl's journey. Together, we explore the philosophy of sales and emphasize the importance of sales training in the residential and commercial trades. You'll learn why a structured sales system is vital in today's competitive market, how to build rapport and trust with customers, and why focusing on doing more things right rather than dwelling on mistakes is the way forward. You'll also get a peek into the traditional sales system used by many contractors - referred to as "show up, throw up, screw up, and follow up" - and understand why it's not as effective anymore. Listen in as we go deeper into the sales strategies and techniques specifically designed for painting contractors. Carl reveals the best-selling system for painting contractors and the key elements that make it work, such as setting am agenda, taking control of the sale, and presenting the offer persuasively. We also discuss the concept of pre-engineered agreements and getting something in return for providing a free estimate. This episode is packed with insights and actionable advice, whether you're a painting contractor who sells, employs estimators or sales employees, or simply looking to improve your sales strategy. Don't miss out!
