  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.

Additional Resources: Brigham on LinkedIn Power Selling Pros Website Join The ARENA - a CSTG Community! Chad on LinkedIn Chad Peterman | CEO | Author Peterman Brothers Website Follow PeopleForward Network on LinkedIn Learn more about PeopleForward Network Key Takeaways: Your call center has untapped profit potential. When properly trained, CSRs can dramatically boost booking rates and drive top-line revenue. Hitting 90% booking rate on bookable calls should be the standard. Every percentage point below that is costing real dollars. Your CSR team can be a leadership pipeline. With the right culture and coaching, the call center becomes a place where future leaders emerge. Flat compensation beats percentage-based incentives. A clear, daily dollar amount per membership or upsell keeps CSRs motivated and focused. AI has value, but it can't replace human connection. Use it for support, but don't let it take over the customer experience unless you want to risk sameness.

Paul Giannamore is back in The Boardroom this week joining Patrick Baldwin to cover the surprisingly bustling pest control M&A market. You'd expect transactions to slow down due to summer vacations, but it's actually quite the opposite. Paul shared that Potomac has “closed more transactions than we have in a two-month period, except in Q4 of 2020." Private equity firms are at the forefront, driving many of the recent transactions. Unlike strategic buyers, these firms often operate under the radar, leading to many deals happening without public fanfare. With big names like Rentokil, Rollins, and Anticimex staying relatively quiet, is this the new norm for the pest control industry? Rentokil is undergoing notable transitions, with John Myers in the process of retiring and speculations of the company potentially going private. The massive Rentokil/Terminix deal was a significant milestone, but with pressure from institutional investors and the potential impact of the upcoming election on the market, the future of Rentokil is still undecided. The pest control industry is evolving, with a greater focus on service and customer experience over purely financial considerations. Across the service industry, popular software systems like ServiceTitan for HVAC services and ServiceTrade for fire and life safety services are becoming essential tools. How will these internal changes and technological advancements shape the future of the industry? Building relationships and leveraging industry expertise emerged as significant themes in this episode. Paul Giannamore emphasized the importance of networks like the Young Presidents' Organization (YPO), which provide invaluable insights and learning opportunities. Paul and Patrick highlight how industry leaders are increasingly turning to consulting and mentorship, with notable examples like Tommy Mello investing heavily in expert advice to drive business success. Will this trend toward greater reliance on external expertise and mentorship continue to shape the industry's future strategies and growth? Audio mixing and editing by www.verbell.ltd.
