Growing a Highly Profitable $13M Service Business in 10 Years with SGI’s Miki Stone
Today’s podcast feature’s SGI Success Coach Miki Stone. In Miki’s prior life, she worked for two residential service companies. And it’s her journey with her last company that we truly dig into. When Miki joined her last service company, it was just the electrician/owner and her. The business did very little residential service. Over the next 10 years, the owner and Miki would grow that business to $13 million in sales at an incredibly strong profit margin. Along the way, they acquired a large HVAC company and a smaller, but successful, plumbing company. Not long after, Miki supervised a complete rebranding of that large business. I’m not sure there’s anything in the contracting industry Miki Stone hasn’t seen. In this interview, Miki will talk about those acquisitions and that rebranding effort, but she’ll reveal the insights she learned from growing and operating this highly successful business. This is an hour’s worth of insightful content you want to listen to!
