Audio Transcription

Hey all you potential thrivers out there this is Jamie Fagel I’m with Jameson Fine Cabinetry in Raleigh North Carolina. I started with the Tri15 back in April of 2019. I came across Clay’s podcast when I was just kind of messing around one day when I was driving I usually try to like listen to educational things. So I found his podcast and started laughing. It was just full of real down to earth, everyday business stuff that happens. Whereas a lot of the other things I come across is just the same old stuff that they just

keep repeating.

It doesn’t really go anywhere. So I listen to his podcast probably every day for about a week, week and a half. Then I call them to check in on what it’s all about and the coaching program that they have. Clay called me I think within three days of me talking to the first person who went through and did the you know the follow-up and then walk through. So after talking to Clay we decided to move forward with the program. I said I’ve been doing it since 2019 of April. Couldn’t

be happier. When we first came aboard with Drive 15 we were not known on the internet. Nobody can find us. And now I’m on basically page one for all the important searches. There’s one more that we’re waiting to get to, and hopefully within another month we’ll be on

page one of that. And with that, we’ve already seen an increase in business just from the website. That’s not including when I have a sale, before I go out to that sale and meet with a customer, I tell them to look on our website and check out our reviews and our testimonials.

By the time I get to the customer’s house, that job is already sold. Some of the other things that I’ve learned, I went to the seminar or the conference that they have up there. I went to one of them in December and it was just great because you meet all the people who are struggling and going through the same things that you are going through. And then you have these real conversations.

Conversations you don’t have with everyday people who are not running a business and don’t run into all the same things that you are trying to manage through while growing a business, protecting your money and keeping your customers all happy. So a lot of the things that I have learned and one of the other big ones would be the group interviews. I would always do the same old thing when I needed somebody, I would post an ad and

meet with one person at a time. Once I got tired of that I picked the guy who was the best suited out of those three or four because I only had time to interview two or three people. Doing a group interview you get to see everybody in the same setting basically right in front of you and you can tell a lot more by how they handle themselves, how they come to their interview, are they dressed to impress, do they have their pad, do they show up on time, all those things and it makes a huge

difference. I’ve hired now four people from the group interviews and all of them are rock stars,

except for one.

One guy didn’t quite work out but that was probably more my fault than his. But the group interview is a solid thing, you’ve got to follow it, you’ve got to do it. Some of the other things that we’ve done is the systems and processes. As much as you know that you need to do systems and processes, when you’re caught up in the day-to-day minutiae of getting your business running, it’s really hard to focus on writing a process.

But if you’re not doing those, your company is just not going to have that solid foundation

that you need.

And, you know, I’ve gone through a lot of corporate jobs in my time, and I know all about the processes and the checklists and all that, but never got to do them. Once I started with 515, it was kind of part of our homework to get these things done. And as I see these checklists go into action and people are starting to use them now, and all of my employees are referring back to them,

it’s a hell of a way to start training people. It just makes training a whole lot easier. You’re not trying to do that, you know, you got to tell them 15 times before they get a thing. You can hand them a book and say, here’s what your job entails, here’s all the things you need to do, and here’s how you do it. The checklists are a great thing to get done. So right now, I mean, I said, it’s moving along great. I highly recommend these guys. It’s one of the best things in my week.

You know it’s hard when you’re constantly pushing, pushing, pushing to take that time to work on your business. If you don’t take that time to work on your business, your business will not get any farther than where it is now. And if it does, it’s by chance, not by skill, and it won’t last. You really need to get a foundation.

You need to have these guys in your corner so you can talk about the current situation you are dealing with. It’s not just a marketing company. These guys help you with marketing, they help you with business decisions, they help you with advertising, they talk about financials, everything that you need to have a good solid discussion with about your business.

These guys are not part of your business, they are not part of your family, they’re not your friends, they’re not anybody that you come in so associate with, they’re just there to help you grow your business. It’s a mastermind group, works great. Really at this point we’re looking at doubling our sales, actually we’re on course to grow our business 150% this year, even amidst the COVID-19 disaster that’s going on, and our state’s is one of those things that can’t seem to figure out what the best thing to do.

So they don’t do anything. Lock it down and shut it down and all that. So even with the COVID-19, we’re on pace to grow 150%.

And that’s phenomenal.

And I attribute a lot of that to, or most of that to, my weekly conversations with Andrew and Clay. So well done, guys. I really appreciate it. And I hope you potential thrivers out there jump into it. It’s a great thing. Can’t beat it.

Thanks.

My name is Adam. I’m the owner of the Owasso Tip Top K-9 location. Being top on Google is huge. People only look so far for results. If you’re one of the first things that pops up, you’re going to be the one that they call. It didn’t take us very long to get there. It might have taken us a few months at the most. a few months at the most. a few months at the most.

Just get the reviews, follow the system, works like a charm.
