60% Growth in 2021 & 60% Expected Growth in 2022: How Trent Urban Has Built WireNut Home Services into a $14M, Highly Profitable Company by Prioritizing Culture, Finding & Developing Great People, & Implementing an EOS System.
Today’s show is a great discussion with Trent Urban of WireNut Home Services in Colorado Springs, CO. WireNut Home Services has seen some remarkable results recently. In 2021, the company generated $14 million in revenue, a 60% growth. And in 2022, Trent expects another 60% growth, which would push WireNut well past $20 million in sales—all at a great net profit. In this interview, Trent shares how he and his team have achieved these great results. In particular, Trent talks about how he cultivated WireNut’s culture by making a relational business, rather than a transactional one. Trent talks a lot about people. He shares how his recruiter has helped fuel the company’s growth; he talks about finding and growing leaders; and he talks about the early stages of The WireNut School that’s in the making. Trent also shares lots of management nuggets—in particular, how implementing an EOS helped relieve stress and helped him fall back in love with being a business owner. This is a long interview, but one that is filled with great information!
