Ron Holt, CEO & Founder of TWO MAIDS & A MOP™ went from managing chemical engineers and scientists to cleaning toilets … literally. His company has been ranked by Inc Magazine as one of the fastest growing cleaning companies in the country, now boasting 31 franchises. His number one pivotal strategy for success is having grit … and not just the grit you clean up. He lives and dies by this philosophy: “When you hit those moments when failure seems imminent, you’ve gotta have grit to fight through it. Money is less important than grit. From the highest level executive in the ivory tower to the lowest level employee, to success in business, you’ve gotta have some grit.” He was attracted to this “unsexy” industry and his reasons and strategy are fascinating.

Topics Include:

  • The strategy to scaling a business in an “unsexy” industry
  • Engaging and motivating a “blue collar” staff
  • Staying focused on company vision in good and bad times
  • Getting employees to care as much about the business as the leaders do
  • Leveraging an employee compensation plan as a selling tool for acquiring new business
  • What grit’s got to do with it

Shawn Karol Sandy is a sales leader who hears “try another angle” when someone tells her “no”. She started wearing suits in the third grade because she liked the feeling of power it gave her while she ran “meetings” on the playground. For the record, she doesn’t recall what those meetings were about.  In this podcast episode Shawn defines company culture as “the overwhelming ubiquitous mindset of the people who work there and the result of the actions they take as a result of that mindset” and recommends mastering the use of a machete to forge new paths. Her “thunderstruck” moments will inspire you.

Topics Include:

  • How to lead and influence people to grow and scale through sales and selling
  • Where culture comes from
  • Building an “open ended” business model to pivot quickly
  • The core value of rejecting the status quo
  • What it means to be “learning harder”
  • What it means to be a “wolf” in business
