Etch does a great job on our yearly weed applications. They transformed our yard from a weedy nightmare to lush grass in about a year and it looks amazing. Keep up the great work!
I can appreciate the managerial mantras he rattled off, but there has to be a balance. Giving the guys energy drinks for $1 makes sense, but in the same breath he pointed at a $40,000 truck he admitted they don’t even use. I’m just saying it goes both ways. He is obviously a smart guy, so kudos to him. Just don’t optimize so much that you lose touch with the business. Your employees and equipment are more than just a number on a spreadsheet. Cheers, brother.
Thanks Sam for that awesome video and knowledge. Thank you Brian for continuing to do you - which is bringing us this type of content. Brian you spend your time and energy bringing us this content and you are much appreciated.
My greatest issues with these videos isn't the success of the people , but the shift in thinking that success is just getting behind a computer screen , answering the phone and becoming administration for a 3-4 or 5 million a year Agro business . If that's what the end game is , then I am happy with where i am and my $217 a year . Great videos though and great shops .
Man look into jade enterprises here in Berea Kentucky, they have to be running a million dollar business and the guy that owns it has basically transferred all authority down to his 22 year old son, it’s really neat to see! I see their trucks and crews everywhere.
Congratulations on your business! Very smart man! To manage all the employees and equipment! Very difficult to do, appears you are doing very efficiently
Depending on the place doing lot sweeping and stripping is a great thing. Having a reputable company do it would sell me rather than a guy doing it in a beat up truck. Especially when your trucks look great.
Thanks Brian and Sam. Sam's emphasis on how important his people are to him is likely to be a major factor in his rapid success. Does Etch pressure wash commercial sidewalks?
We do this for the guys then turns around and says yea we charge them then your not doing it for them your doing it for them not to stop so a 8:30 9 day won’t be your will be cutting down thier time in the end
For your fertilizer crew id want to care as many bags ad i can out down in one day to be most efficient. 20 bags doesn’t enough for a day. I put dow 70 bags in 14 hrs.
@@SAM-RANKIN Totally agree. Im a school teacher and ill do a long day like that fertilizing 3 or 4 times a year. My guys work 9 hr days for mowing and mulching
Dude makes 5-10% and provides his team water at cost, pay attention. How much water do you give away to your team and how’s your $3m business going? If you don’t have one, then shut it.

Thanks for the tour Sam!
If you guys want to leave an encouraging word for Sam and his team, I’m sure they would appreciate it!

Love the no trailer idea for mowing and fertilizing
Thanks for the tour Sam we appreciate it , & thanks for bringing us along for the tour Brian.

Not sure which truck we don’t use, but looking at the shop this morning there’s one truck left in here. Everything goes out everyday!
It's not about how much you make but how much you keep....most big maintenance companies just pay bills....worked for all the big boys
You can say that again. If you don’t know your numbers, you can easily spin your wheels in this business.
Sam's the man
Thanks Sam for that awesome video and knowledge. Thank you Brian for continuing to do you - which is bringing us this type of content. Brian you spend your time and energy bringing us this content and you are much appreciated.

I have to keep looking at Sam because, I hear and somewhat see Ed Bolian.

Man I’ve been binge watching your videos. You are great man, incredible content. Thanks so much.

Hey Sam, keep on and continue crushing it!

Great video cool shop tour
How is he able to keep up with the snow with runny Isuzus
Thanks Brian and Sam.

Does Etch pressure wash commercial sidewalks?
Amen!
And not sure on the pressure washing!
We do in the spring as part of our full suite of commercial services. We will sweep, wash, and repaint the stripes in the spring!
Lots of expensive equipment for not a lot of revenue
🙏🙏🙏

We work to live not live to work!
I don’t want our team working 14 hours, that’s not balance!

👍
quite a man
Wow how tall is Sam?! Looks like he almost hit his head going through the door
I’m 6’7” 😂 I don’t think this place is built to code. The upstairs is 7’ ceilings with pipes hanging down 😂
Bro charges his workers for waters ?!? Makes 3 million dollars and charges for a bottle of water
