Ingredients that Make a Company Successful

Andy Aranda; Entrepreneur, and “The Modern Day Tradesman Show” Host.

Today’s Episode Summary:

Today’s guest, Andy Aranda, is an entrepreneur who has a mission to eradicate the stereotypes of tradesmen and bring respect back to the trades. Behind Andy’s mission, there is a story of his childhood that motivated him to pursue this mission.

Andy came from a family of plumbing tradesmen. When he was a kid, his father –who was a plumber- used to take him on jobs with himself. During that time, Andy realized that plumbers have a bad reputation in the society and people feel ashamed to be a plumber. To change this mindset, Andy started his career as a plumber in 2013 and changed the standard for the entire industry. Today Andy is sharing with us his valuable thoughts on his mission “bringing the respect back to trades” and varieties of other topics that can help you grow your business.

Andy says that, like tradesmen, salespeople also have a bad reputation and to bring respect back to these professions you have to win the trust of your clients, you have to guarantee your clients that you are not here to make sales only, in fact, you are here to genuinely help them and to solve their problem. Moreover, you have to provide your clients what they actually need and you have to explain to them the results of the product/service that you are selling them. If you will do that, you and your clients both will get the desired results.

Andy is also sharing with us his 3 steps formula that guarantees to give you and your clients the desired results. The first step is to have a plan, the second step is to communicate that plan to your clients, and the third step is to execute that plan. To learn this formula in detail, I will highly encourage you to listen to the podcast.

Andy also says that as an entrepreneur, you should identify your strengths and weaknesses. Once you have identified them, work on your strengths and hire other people to help you in your weak areas. Remember 1 thing: don’t try to improve your weak areas on your own because by doing so you will only waste your time. So hire other people to do this for you. Secondly, hire people based on your core values. And after hiring the right fit, communicate your core values to your employees frequently and teach them how these core values will make them better customer-service-representative. Lastly, make your employees comfortable so that they could make your clients comfortable in return.

Andy is also motivating you to be energetic at work, at home, and wherever they go. He says that whether you are going to work or you are going to meet somebody, bring your energy with you because it makes you more attractive and brings more opportunities into your life.

Today’s podcast has a lot more than you just read, so tune in and enjoy the conversation.
