Note, it’s not terribly hard to own and operate a profitable gutter business. However, we know that most business owners aren’t satisfied with simply being profitable. Instead, they want to create a business that will employ more than their immediate family.
To us, a “successful” business is one that continues to grow and create opportunities both in the business and the community. A successful business provides for more than the owner — it becomes a legacy and a brand that can last for generations, having a lasting impact that far exceeds the value of products and services sold and installed.
With that in mind, here are the traits of a successful gutter installation business owner:
- Interested in building a business, not just having a job.
- Willing to work hard, but also to hire skilled employees and let them fully use their skills.
- Willing to invest (time or money) in ongoing training and development, and learn from others who have experienced success.
- Interested in using the best possible processes for lead generation, the sales process and installation procedures.
- An understanding of key business metrics like cost of customer acquisition, closing percentage, material and labor costs, profit margin, etc.
- The desire to own a business that caters to homeowners.
- The desire to own a business that increases value for customers.
