Today’s show features Brian Leech of Service Legends in Des Moines, Iowa, a residential service and replacement HVAC and now plumbing company. Brian joined the SGI family in 2004, and he quickly became a rising superstar within the organization and the home services industry. His company jumped quickly from $1M in sales to more than $5M. He built a state-of-the-art building. Everything seemed perfect—until the business unraveled around 2010. Brian LOST roughly $750,000. Over the next 10-plus years, Service Legends and Brian changed and grew a great deal. In this interview, Brian details how the business slipped, as well as how he’s resurrected the company to its best form yet: Service Legends is on target to hit $13.3M at double-digit profits in 2021. Over this more than 70-minute conversation, Brian bared everything, and in the process, he offered more than a dozen critical thoughts and concepts that would benefit any owner/operator of a mid- to large residential contracting company. Enjoy this power-packed show!
