From Zero to Hero: Scaling Up in the Windshield Business
Two first-time owners. Day-one chaos. Hockey-stick growth. In this episode, Mike and Matt break down exactly what happened after taking over a 30-year business: the awkward start as younger owners, the 60-day clean-up, the months of “flat” growth, and the breakthrough that took them from ~$100K/month to nearly $500K/month - FAST. We talk real tactics: digging into CRM data, testing multiple growth plays (including failures), finding the winning revenue vein, and building a team with in-person hires + VAs, SOPs, and rapid training. You’ll also hear how weekly accountability calls with a fractional CFO changed the game—moving from “do more sales” to celebrating results. What you’ll learn - The first 60–90 days after buying a business: what to fix before you try to scale - How to mine your CRM for patterns, pricing power, and hidden revenue - Why persistence beats “perfect strategy” (and how to know when to pivot) - Building a lean hiring + training machine (from 6 to 22+ employees) - The power of a sales scoreboard and weekly financial transparency - Structuring win-win equity so everyone is hungry for growth Who this is for - Operators buying their first business (or considering it) - Owners stuck at a plateau and ready to push for real scale - Leaders who want systems, accountability, and team capacity—fast 👉 Want more strategies on building wealth in the trades?
