The Glazing business needs to change..
The feeling of running a million miles an hour without getting anywhere starts to wear thin after a while..
After all… we got into the business for the love of the trade, no?
Not the love of paperwork and admin 🤮
To be a one man band and try to do it all yourself is more harmful than a mosquito in a sleeping bag…
…Not only are you burning yourself out, you are probably also letting other people down!
And if you have a team to manage the admin.
You are probably still lying in bed at night thinking about the business.
You can’t switch off!
And then don’t get me started on the endless staffing issues 🤬
Finding reliable staff can be like trying to hear a whisper at a rock concert.
Almost impossible!
And we haven’t even spoken about Lead generation, Lead conversion and Job management etc… 🤯
Now, if you can’t relate to any of the above…
You my friend are a Jedi master! ( 👊 Virtual Fist Bump)
For the rest of us, there has to be a point in which you have to make a change?
How did Einstein classify insanity?
…Do the same thing over and over again expecting a different result (Or something like that)?
Well let’s not go crazy just yet!
Because I’ve spent the last 5 years essentially going through every part of my glazing business to try and get off the hamster wheel whilst still maintaining a profitable (predictable) business…
And, I have done pretty well so far.
Today I have built a glazing business..
👉 That generates new quote requests every day like clock work.
👉 That converts over 90% of quote requests into jobs
👉 That schedules quote acceptances into jobs, enabling staff to simply 'turn up and go.
👉 That automates and streamlines the hiring, onboarding, and training of new staff.
👉 That runs without me! (I live in a different country)
And most importantly is profitable!
And no, I promise you I haven't got aliens running my business
This is possible!
If you have read this far you are probably thinking.
"Who is this bloke?"
I'm Gene Graham 👋
Originally from New Zealand I started my apprenticeship straight out of school.
After getting my ticket I then called London home for a few years working as a glazier and trying to fit in as much travel as possible on my days off (as you do).
Once the OE was done I decided to follow some mates to the bright lights of Melbourne where I managed to squirrel away a enough pennies to buy an established Glazing business called Economy Glass.
I'm an experienced worldly glazier...This will be EASY! (He says)
I will be the master of my own destiny...
Control my own time...(🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣)
How wrong was I!?
Here I was thinking I was going to be entrepreneur.com
but instead ended up whatthef***haveigotmyselfinto.com
Lead Generation...
Lead Conversion...
Job Management...
Hiring...
Payroll...
Staff training...
I may as well have been learning Chinese!
it was a shit show!
I knew things had to change.
This is when I went down the rabbit hole of building systems, processes and automating my business
Fast forward a few years, a new dog, a wedding and a couple of kids later.
We packed up our lives and moved back home to Queenstown New Zealand
What about the businesses you ask?
They run themselves...
Well kind of..
I have built an entire system that enables me to runs the businesses from anywhere and enables my team to turn up to work each day and know exactly what they are doing.
If this sounds like a magic trick... As hard as it may be to believe now, I can assure you it's possible!
And believe me, If I can do it. Anyone can.
This brings me to Glass Hub.
Glass Hub is my entire business system that I use to run my business from anywhere in the world!
The reason I put it all together into a system was because I was always being asked by my mates in the industry to do the same for their businesses.
Now, not everyone has a desire to automate their glass business (I get it).
But for those who do, and if you have been nodding yes like a bobble head figurine in the back of a Toyota Camry.
Glass hub is for you!
Right now, we're in the thick of finalising Glass Hub and it's shaping up to be something pretty special.
But here's the thing…..
we're committed to making sure it's done right.
That means we’re opening it up to just 20 glaziers to start with.
Why?
Because we want to work closely with each one, making sure you get the kind of results that'll make a real difference.
We're not about just signing up as many people as we can.
We're about partnering up, getting down to the nitty-gritty of your business, and giving you personalised support that'll actually help you grow.
So for now,
we're inviting applications to join our waitlist.
It's for those who are ready to dive in, roll up their sleeves, and really get to work on transforming their business.
If that sounds like you, then we'd love for you to apply.
Joining the waitlist means you'll be right there at the front of the line when we're ready to launch.
We're looking for glaziers who are as excited about this as we are and are keen to be part of a game-changing group.
Are you in?
