10 | Joel Puthoff | How I Built a $2.8 Million Painting Business Leaders Across America With Steve Acorn

    • Entrepreneurship

In today’s show of Leaders Across America, Steve interviews Joel Puthoff, sales performance coach, and trainer, Fortune 5 Consulting.
As a teenager, Joel admits he lacked focus and drive. Joel admits that he went to college just to play basketball and have fun. In one semester, Joel did particularly badly and ended up with a GPA of 2.0. This served as a wake-up call for him. And at this opportune time, Joel came across YEAA.
At YEAA, Joel shares how he managed to work in a completely hands-off manner – and yet scale up his operations.  In this segment of the show, you will learn how Joel managed to delegate all essential business functions – from cold calling to painting.
After graduation, Joel was interviewing with different firms. But his paths crossed yet again with Steve and he ended up moving to Charlotte to manage the student painting operations in the Carolinas. In this segment of the show, Joel regales listeners will some interesting stories about how he managed to set up operations and overcome some of his biggest challenges. After a tumultuous first year, it was relatively smooth sailing for Joel as he managed to scale up the painting business to $2.8 million in annual revenues.
In the last segment of the show, Joel talks a bit about this current role as a sales performance coach and trainer at Fortune Five Consulting. In his position, Joel helps SAAS based organizations grow and scale their operations. Here, Joel talks about he initially struggled to grasp the finer technical nuances of the technology word.
Joel also shares some interesting details about his soon-to-be-launched book which focuses on human optimization or developing high-performance habits.
We hope you enjoy this show!
