FAQ

Achieve your business vision with our Top Advisors

What exactly is "The Advisors" program?

The Advisors is a business advisory service that works with successful home service industry owners. Our team of experts provides business appraisals to help you determine goals and create a 12 month roadmap for your business.

Who is on the advisory team?

Our advisory team consists of four industry experts:

- Geno Gruber: A trusted consultant working with 8-10 figure home service companies, formerly a general manager with 10 years of HVAC operational experience

- Tom Wanek: An industry-leading branding expert working with large HVAC, plumbing, roofing, and solar companies

- Angela Hunstman: An A Team/Leadership Development expert

- Clayton Stiver: A mergers and acquisitions specialist

What kind of businesses do you work with?

We specifically work with already-profitable, high-achieving business owners in the home service industry. We don't rescue struggling companies - we optimize successful ones.

What results can I expect?

We've helped companies sell for anywhere from 5-15x multiple on their profits. Our clients typically experience business optimization, increased profitability, improved work-life balance, and potentially preparation for a high-value sale.

How does the process work?

We start with a business appraisal where we work with you to understand your goals and aspirations. We then create a customized roadmap to help you achieve your 12-month, 3 to 5 year, or long term vision. This process helps identify the specific areas where our advisory team can add the most value.

Is this program a good fit for my business?

This program is designed for successful home service industry owners who want to refine and optimize their business systems. We don't work with everyone - we conduct discovery calls to ensure there's a mutual fit before proceeding.

How do I get started?

If you're interested, you can request additional video content about our program and book a discovery call through our calendar link. This call helps us determine if there's a good fit between your needs and our services.

How much time commitment is required?

The time commitment varies based on your specific goals and the roadmap we develop together. We understand that as a business owner, your time is valuable, and we structure our advisory services to be efficient and effective. We offer twice-a-week group calls to guide you through different aspects of your 12-month roadmap, with additional remote & in-person trainings available for accelerated growth. What you get out of the program directly correlates with what you put in.

How much does the program cost?

Our advisory program pricing varies based on the specific needs of your business and the level of service required. We customize our approach for each client to ensure you're getting the most value possible. During our discovery call, we'll discuss your goals and budget to find the right solution for your business.

Our advisory program cost less than a entry level McDonalds employee and can net you 10x on your business value.

What makes The Advisors different from other consulting services?

Unlike generic business consultants, we specialize exclusively in the home service industry. Our team has direct experience running and optimizing companies in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, solar and related fields. We provide a customized roadmap rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, and we focus on measurable results that increase your business value.

How long has The Advisors program been operating?

Our Advisors have over 90 combined years of operational and implementation experience, working with dozens of home service businesses across the country. Our proven methodology has been refined through real-world application with companies of various sizes and specialties. We're proud of our track record of helping business owners achieve their goals, whether that's scaling operations, improving profitability, or preparing for a lucrative exit.

Do you offer any guarantees or refunds?

For our ongoing advisory services, we work on a commitment basis as implementation takes time to show results. During our discovery call, we'll discuss the specifics of our guarantee policies and how they apply to your situation.

Is there an application process?

Yes, we have a simple application process to ensure we're working with businesses that can benefit most from our services. This involves a discovery call where we discuss your business, goals, and whether there's a mutual fit. We're selective about who we work with because our success depends on your success.

What is your approach to confidentiality?

We take confidentiality extremely seriously. All client information is protected under strict non-disclosure agreements. Our advisory team understands the sensitive nature of the information shared during our work together and maintains the highest standards of professional discretion.

What if I'm not sure if my business is ready for this program?

We understand that timing is crucial for business growth initiatives. If you're unsure whether your business is at the right stage for our program, we recommend scheduling a discovery call anyway. During this no-obligation conversation, we can assess your current situation and provide honest feedback about whether our services would benefit you now or if it might be better to wait. Many business owners find this initial conversation valuable regardless of whether they proceed with the full program.

How do you measure success with your clients?

We measure success based on your specific goals established during the initial appraisal process. For some clients, success means increasing annual revenue by 30%, while for others it might be reducing their active work hours while maintaining profitability. We track key performance indicators tailored to your business objectives and provide regular progress updates throughout our advisory relationship. Our ultimate metric is whether your business value increases significantly over our time working together.

What kind of ongoing support do you provide?

We provide comprehensive ongoing support through our advisory relationship. This includes twice-weekly group calls, direct access to our expert advisors for specific questions, and additional training opportunities as needed. Our team remains available to help you navigate challenges and capitalize on opportunities that arise during implementation of your roadmap. We're committed to being true partners in your business growth journey.

Can I see testimonials from your past clients?

Yes, we have numerous success stories from business owners we've helped. During our discovery call, we can share specific case studies relevant to your situation and connect you with references if appropriate. Our clients have experienced substantial growth in revenue, profitability, and business valuation after implementing our recommendations. Many of our new clients come directly from referrals, which speaks to the satisfaction level of our advisor partnerships.

What does the customized roadmap look like

We don't believe on cookie cutter road map. We give you a customized road map built from four industry experts. We help identify the right solutions to your problems, to allow you to do less work and get more results.
