Family First - Streb Electric is Targeting $1.2M while Allowing Bill Streb the Time to Spend with the People He Loves Most
Today’s show features Bill Streb of Streb Electric in suburban Cleveland, Ohio. Bill has been in his business for a long time—and has been an SGI member for a long time—and now, Streb Electric is hitting its stride and having its very best years. Last year, Streb Electric did over $900K in sales at a solid profit margin, and 2021 looks to be the year the company surpasses the million-dollar-mark, as Bill believes they can hit $1.2 million, at a double-digit profit margin.
Here’s what’s great about Bill’s story: He’s a great guy. You won’t meet a nicer person in the industry than Bill Streb. He always has a smile on his face; he’s always positive, and he’s always a joy to talk to. More than that, Bill has always known what he’s wanted out of Streb Electric. He’s wanted it to provide him with a good living that—most importantly—allowed him to spend time with his wife, Ro, his two cherished children, and his soon-to-be first grandbaby. And that’s the type of life he’s been fortunate to live thanks to Streb Electric’s success. Bill’s story is not one without struggle—including when two of his four techs left him days before knee replacement surgery. But he—and Bill will credit his team—has bounced back, made incredible changes and additions, and is enjoying its very best years. So, please, enjoy!
