Podcast appearances and mentions of al levi

  This week's guest on The Unbeatable Mind is a true, living, breathing example of how success can only come through hard work. Coming from truly humble beginnings, Tommy Mello talks to Mark Divine this week about how he's turned the seemingly innocuous garage door industry into a powerhouse currently set to surpass $100 million EBIDTA.    Tommy shares how he built and scaled his business from the ground up. From mowing lawns as a teenager in Michigan, to hiring top talent and building a world-class team, Tommy reveals the strategies that got him to the position he finds himself in today. He and Mark discuss leveraging equity incentive programs, fostering a culture in which staff can thrive, and Tommy's “build to sell” philosophy.    They also get personal, discussing the ups and downs that come with rapid financial success, learning the art of delegation, and the toll of “the grind.” Tommy gives his candid take on money, legacy, and health routines, and dives into the future of blue-collar work in an AI driven world. All in all, Tommy's insights are valuable for leaders, business owners, or anyone with the drive to build something big.      Key Takeaways:  Building To Sell: Tommy shares his philosophy on structuring business to make them sellable and scalable. His approach to acquisitions, greenfields, and organic growth aim to maximise value for future exits.  The Art of Recruiting: Discover how hiring is about far more than just what's on the resume. Tommy shares why he cares far more about passion and drive than technical skills, and how he can spot “unicorn” talent by paying attention to the little details.  The Power of Delegation: Listen as Tommy dishes on his personal journey of learning to let go. Grinding one hundred percent of the time is unsustainable, so he's learned to build checklists, hire smarter people, and invest in his own growth through coaches and consultants.  Marketing & Growth: Recognize how marketing for both customers and recruiting is the most valuable skill for company leadership.   As an entrepreneur, Tommy Mello has navigated the trenches, initially donning multiple hats – from sales and marketing to accounting and recruitment. However, he realized that sustainable success doesn't demand sacrificing family and friendships with relentless 14-hour shifts; it requires strategic intelligence and building invaluable connections.   So, he embarked on a journey of working smarter, not harder, focusing on cultivating the right networks. In a bid to pay it forward and support fellow home service industry entrepreneurs, he established a vibrant Facebook group. Here, he freely shares his insights and experiences while fostering a community where luminaries like Ken Goodrich, Joe Crisara, Al Levi, and other industry experts contribute their invaluable wisdom spanning branding, social media, and finance.     Tommy's Links:  Website: https://homeserviceexpert.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tommymello/   Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/officialtommymello/?hl=en   Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHZz8wAvo7GEvDw04C9DDWQ  X: https://x.com/realtommymello?lang=en    Sponsors and Promotions:   Momentous: If you're interested in making a true investment in your health, why not join the best in human performance and be part of the change in raising the bar on supplements.

Il "delitto del bitter" sconvolse l'Italia nel 1962. Tranquillo Allevi, commerciante di formaggi, ricevette un pacco anonimo contenente una bottiglia di bitter avvelenata con stricnina. Dopo averne bevuto un sorso, morì tra atroci dolori. Le indagini portarono a Renzo Ferrari, veterinario di Barengo e amante della moglie di Allevi. Prove schiaccianti, tra cui una macchina da scrivere e l'acquisto del veleno, lo incastrarono. Condannato all'ergastolo, scontò 24 anni di carcere prima di ottenere la grazia negli anni ottanta, continuando a proclamarsi innocente.

Al Levi is an author, speaker, consultant, and entrepreneur. After working for over 25 years in every facet of his family's plumbing, heating, cooling, (and now electrical) business, Al sold his share of the company to his brothers and retired from the contracting business. Al was so successful in training and implementing business systems that the business could run efficiently without him by the time he was ready to retire.  Al authored The 7-Power Contractor: Run Your Contracting Business With Less Stress and More Success to help contractors implement successful systems and regain power over their businesses. Al also created The 7-Power Contractor Signature Operating Manuals System, a program that provides 90% done-for-you templates and video tutorials that teach contractors everything they need to know about rolling out the manuals properly. In this episode… Do you need more good ideas, or do you need one good idea implemented in your business? Chances are, you already have plenty of ideas on how to grow your business — you just need guidance on how to get it done. Al Levi is here to help. He's led many service contractors in creating operations manuals and implementing procedures, and now he's created a book and program to make his insight accessible. Al's goal is to help everyone — no matter the industry — bring their great ideas to the top of the funnel. That's why his book is written in plain English and can be read in two to four hours, allowing anyone to take that insight and implement it into their business on the same day! In this episode of the Multiply You Podcast, Austin Clark talks with Al Levi, Author of The 7-Power Contractor, about the steps to bring less stress and more success to your business.

Al Levi is an author, business consultant, and president of The 7-Power Contractor®. In this episode, Al shares his best tips for retaining technicians and creating a career opportunity for your employees.  Building From Scratch Everyone oversells themselves in interviews. It is what we are taught to do from the moment we start applying for jobs. So when you are recruiting, it is essential that you are aware of this. Al says the best way to ensure that your new hires can do everything they alluded to, is to put them through hands-on tests. Some won't pass these tests or will be unsure of where to begin but you will have a clear idea of who is ready and willing to learn. >“With manuals and with training, I can fix the holes in the existing staff because I make it safe for them… [When training new hires] Whatever you don't know, is now my problem. We're going to go through it together and you're going to demonstrate that you can do it. Once you demonstrate it, then you're now responsible.” You will never find someone who knows everything on the first day, but it's up to you to understand their blindspots and teach them what they do need to know. Create a Safe Space Help your hires build a career not a job. Employees aren't overly concerned with the goals of the business unless it in some way helps them reach their goals. Show them that you are there to help them on their journey, and lay out an obvious talent pathway for them to follow. Your employees should not have to reach management positions to feel valued. Don't think about only the top of the pyramid when the bottom blocks are what holds the pyramid up. Al emphasizes that your entire team should have clear answers to these questions: 1. Where am I today?2. Where can I go with the business tomorrow?3. Who truly is my boss and can I rely on them?4. If I need help, who can I go to? If they're feeling uncertain about anything listed above then it is up to you, as the leader, to secure their confidence again. Help them see the potential and become excited about the journey. Continue to support their development by providing team building exercises and opportunities for growth. While hiring the right employees can help you delegate and work less in the field, it's important to maintain a certain level of presence to spot any areas that are lacking. Al is a strong proponent of doing consistent ride alongs so you can spot problems immediately. He also recommends setting up mystery shoppers. This holds everyone accountable to good business ethics. >"You have to help people stay right. We're not looking to try and find you doing something wrong. We're looking to capture you doing something right and make a big deal about it. Because if you do something wrong and it ends up in one of these sting operations, we all go down." Pay Raises, Salaries and Bonuses Giving your hardworking employees a bonus or raise can decrease turnover and boost staff morale. Al recommends implementing these monetary rewards because they incentivize your employees to go above and beyond, which ultimately benefits your business.

Al Levi is an author, business consultant, and president of The 7-Power Contractor®. He shares how to find, hire and train the best technicians available for your company.  Hire Willing People Instead of hiring people for their experience, Al's philosophy on hiring is to find willing people and provide them with the right skills. That way, you are helping people build a career instead of just offering a job.  This strategy helps you identify hires that truly want to join your team and are excited about their future with your company. >“The power of getting willing people to work for you and helping them build a career is life changing not just for your customers, not just for your company, not just for your staff but it's actually life changing for you. I've experienced that myself, so I know that it's true.” Train your employees to fit your company's needs and they will be better at filling that open position than any “magical hire” or experienced veteran. Always Be Training Employee training is critical to long-term success. To implement an effective training program, you want to make sure it equips employees with the proper communication skills (with both customers and team members), as well as the technical skills they need to progress. Keep the training clear and objective. This will allow you to see where your new apprentices are thriving and what makes them tick. Creating an excellent employee training program is the first step, the next is setting yourself apart from the competition.  Al highlights two things you need to do to own your market and be the best choice out of local contractors: Make more techs.Make more calls. >“You've got to make more techs that can be in more trucks that are great at communication which leads to more sales. Neat and clean operationally. Their trucks are neat and clean, they're neat and clean, their jobs are neat and clean. They can do the right job and make it work with a minimal amount of callbacks running back to it.” Your training can be the greatest in the world but if you're not a good teacher, your training is worthless. If you take your training and teaching seriously, you can create a career not a job and you will have people lining up for a spot in your company. Make the Investment Al is also passionate about creating a space for your apprentices to practice. Creating a training center where your apprentices can practice the trade instead of practicing on your paying customers is a valuable way to build experience without jeopardizing business.  If you don't have the finances to support the building of a training center, reach out to family, friends and local organizations that may have something to offer your team in terms of material or equipment. >“[Creating a training centre] is an investment. It's time, energy and money. Money is not the biggest problem, and even time you can find people to leverage. Most of the training centers I have worked at were built by volunteer labor… The trick is committing the energy to it.” Putting the right training in place will be a win for your team, for your customers and for your company.

In today's show, we are putting Al Levi in your passenger seat to discuss the 7 Power Contractor System. Al grew up in the trades as so many have and was working in the industry long before he was able to drive. Through years of experience, he was on the front line to the many frustrations of operating and working in a business. After “walking a mile” in someone else's shoes and gaining some perspective, the wheels began turning on what would eventually become the processes and plans of the 7 Power Contractor System. We dig into his story and experience and how he turned those frustrations into a formula.

Al Levi  is an author, business consultant, and president of The 7-Power Contractor®. Today, he shares how to implement clear systems and train the right people so that your home services business can run with less stress and more success.  Learn From Your Mistakes No one is immune to making mistakes – we are all human, after all! But if we simply acknowledge the problem and carry on as before, we're in danger of repeating the same errors.  Al says it is essential to learn from your mistakes and consciously think about how to do better in the future. >“I'm not brilliant. I fell in every single hole as a business person, climbed out of the hole, dusted myself off. And the only one thing I will give myself credit for is, I said ‘That really hurt, let's not fall back in that same hole.' But you know, having been a consultant now for 19 years, I've watched others do what I did for so long, which is just continually fall back in the same hole... To solve today's problem with no thought about tomorrow. And that's what really robs your progress and kills your growth.” Learning from your mistakes is one thing. Putting what you've learned into practice is another. Look ahead and change your ways. Or else, you may never reach your goals. Run Your Business Systematically Al learned the hard way how lacking formal systems and documented processes can lead to a lack of progress. He shares how important it is to have everyone in your business on the same page, following clear, established processes.  He lays out seven simple business powers that hundreds of owners have applied to run their businesses successfully: PlanningOperatingStaffingSalesSales CoachingMarketingFinancial >“Until you have systems, you can't leverage. Until you bring people in that are trained right, you can't leverage.” Staffing Power When it comes to staffing, Al encourages business owners to flip the script.  Instead of finding skilled people and retraining them, find willing people and teach them skills. When you train service techs the way you want them to be trained, you have less rewiring to do later. >“Let's start building techs from scratch, from young, willing apprentices, and move them up the ladder. And let's build them our way, instead of trying to rewire these guys, trying to steal them.” By putting time and work into finding the right people, you will improve your chances of hiring the best performers and avoid costly, painful mistakes. To increase employee satisfaction and strengthen your staffing system, Al recommends implementing these five staffing actions:  Always be recruiting.Always be hiring.Always be orienting.Always be training.Always be retaining.  When you build a company of willing people equipped with strong training and clear systems, you will achieve success.
