Ep. 15 Unlocking Success in the Blue Collar Industry: Insights from Chris Crew
In this episode,Heidi interviews Chris Crew, the President of the Blue Collar Success Group, a company that helps home service contractors scale their businesses. Chris shares his journey from being an electrician to becoming a successful entrepreneur and coach. He discusses the biggest challenges contractors face when scaling their businesses and how the Blue Collar Success Group helps them overcome these obstacles. Chris also emphasizes the importance of mindset shifts, processes, and culture in building a successful business. Tune in to learn how Chris and his team are revolutionizing the blue-collar industry and empowering contractors to achieve their goals.
Chris joined The Blue Collar Success Group in early 2018 as a success coach, and has since offered extensive knowledge about every facet of the in-home services – pricing, planning, budgeting marketing, recruiting, training, and showing clients how they can transform their businesses into revenue generators. His journey through the industry began at age 16 as an apprentice electrician and, after just eight months, was promoted to lead technician. It was the tipping point for what would be his vast resume as a successful owner, supervisor and business coach.
Chris in 2005 joined a residential electrical company in Atlanta, and was quickly promoted to a supervisor responsible for 18 trucks and producing more than $4 million in revenue. He moved to Sarasota, Fla. in 2008 and served as a business coach for a large electrical company helping franchisees achieve success, like the “Million Dollar Award” he won in Georgia for producing $1.4 million in revenue. Chris, from 2010 to 2012, coached various plumbing, electrical and HVAC businesses for the franchisor and eventually oversaw the coaching team for more than 90 locations nationwide.
He then shifted to owning an electrical business, growing the company in a four-year span from 10 trucks to 60, five locations and generating $18 million. Chris ultimately sold his shares of the company to join The Blue Collar Success Group.
