Home Painters Toronto Strategic Assessment
THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN SELECTED BY A TEAM AND IS NOT AVAILABLE ANYMORE. Brian Young is the CEO and Founder of Home Painters Toronto , a leading painting contractor in the Greater Toronto Area since 1991. Brian’s business career started as a Student Painter back in 1987 while attending York University. For the next decade, Brian made a career out of actively cold calling clients at their homes and using various ‘old school’ marketing tactics, which kept his business thriving. But with the gradual change to internet marketing, by 1997 his sales started to plummet, and his once thriving business, began to really struggle. In Sept of 2011, Brian finally hit rock bottom after receiving the ultimate wakeup call – being literally, punched in the face by an irate prospective client for cold calling his house. At this point, change was inevitable paving the way for a new chapter for Brian and his struggling painting business. In January 2012, Brian hired a business coach, created a website, assembled a SEO team, bought Infusionsoft, and very quickly his business began to soar. In the next 7 years, his revenues skyrocketed by over 800%, all while cutting his workweek down by 40%. Brian is now in hot demand for his views on entrepreneurship and business. He’s been recently featured in many publications including Entrepreneur.com, allBusiness.com, Small Biz Trends, CRM Magazine, Business.com, The Globe and Mail, and various video and podcast interviews. In addition, he has established worldwide acclaim by winning numerous prestigious awards including: · HomeStars Best in Class 4 years in a row for 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 ·Canadian Business Magazine’s Growth 500 award in 2017, 2018, 2019 for fastest growing businesses in Canada; including the 8th fastest growing construction company in Canada · Best of Houzz 2014, 2019, 2020 · A nominee for Ernst and Young’s Entrepreneur of the year in 2017 · Three Best Rated Painter in Toronto in 2016, 2019 · Infusionsoft’s Small Business ICON in 2015 Quick Facts: Owner/Founder: Brian Young Business: Home Painters Toronto Email: Owner@HomePaintersToronto.com Phone#: 416-580-4344 Years in Business: 30 years Number of Employees: 45+ 2019 Revenues: $3.4 million 2020 Projected Revenues: $3.4 million Website: homepainterstoronto.com Company's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/home-painters-toronto Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/homepainterstoronto Instagram: https://instagram.com/homepainterstoronto Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/homepaintersto YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeItSfnsi3DSYvaD5CrQLKw?view_as=subscriber Publications: Talk with Tom Reber https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nup1LliFOkI Entrepreneur.com http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/246432 Podcast on The Eventual Millionaire https://eventualmillionaire.com/brianyoung/ Business.com article http://www.business.com/online-marketing/how-a-punch-in-the-face-opened-the-eyes-of-this-small-business-owner/ Infusionsoft ICON Presentation! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-8stXBGUVA After working in the painting industry for three decades, Brian admits that there is a lot of hard work and dedication necessary to be successful. Home Painters has been recognized as the best painting contractor in the Greater Toronto Area and Southern Ontario for years. Homeowners' satisfaction is Home Painters #1 priority, and the company takes pride in each and every one of their painting projects! As Home Painters continues to grow, Brian has encountered different challenges that come in each stage of this fast-paced expansion. 2019 was to be one of Homa Painters most successful years when COVID hit, although Brian and his team were able to turn the situation around with hard work, the end of the year appears to be uncertain. As this global situation evolves and the company keeps adapting and evolving, Brian needs to make sure they will be ready to reach the targets for the next 5 to 10 years.
