Profitable 49% Growth Last Year: Sirius Plumbing & A/C Shift from Warranty to Retail Work with the Help of Great People & New Processes
Brent and Jeni Garrett of Sirius Plumbing & Air Conditioning in Dallas, Texas, are up to some incredible things. Over the last two years, the company has jumped from around $2 million to $4 million, at a great profitability, while also changing its focus from warranty work to retail contracting. Though, it wasn’t an easy process…
Brent and Jeni are savvy operators, having owned, managed, and even sold other businesses. Their acumen helped them during this 20-plus-month transition, but they quickly deflected any credit. Brent and Jeni pointed to their people as the biggest reason for this explosive growth.
However, Brent and Jeni most definitely deserve some credit. If you’re an owner/manager reading this, I urge you to listen to the emphasis and intentionality Brent and Jeni place on culture, communication, and core values—all leadership pillars that support all strong, growing organizations. Brent and Jeni know who they are and what’s important to them in their family business. It too has been a big reason for their success. This was a fun conversation filled with tons of nuggets. Enjoy!
