Just wanted to throw this out there, I happened to stumble across this video late one night last year. It has taken me on a journey I never saw coming. I enrolled in a training program, purchased the equipment, and quite my full-time job in an industry I had been in for 28 years! I now own and operate my own coating business with my son. We are having an absolute blast and making good money! Thank you for posting this video and inspiring me to take that leap of faith, it was absolutely scary to step away from the security of a weekly paycheck, but it has been WELL worth it!
@@traewalters1645 the biggest thing for me thus far has honestly been word of mouth. We have gotten a few leads from Facebook ads, and we have gotten a few leads from having our job trailer all lettered, but our biggest thing has been referrals and word of mouth!!
Could you help, what do you do on your downtime during November and December do you offer other services ? Or are you consistent with the service all year round
I have been experiencing a similar trajectory as an entrepeneur: you start with one service and then quickly begin seeing many other great opportunities. Please keep this content coming, you are making people's lives better
We love to hear this Alexander Watson. 😀😀 We're so glad that our videos have been so helpful to so many people and we're just getting started. We have some great content coming up we can't wait for you to see. Thank you for the wonderful comment. Many entrepreneurs start in one direction and lots of time end up doing something completely different. Why do you feel this is?
@@UpFlip cause you can't run into other opportunities sitting around. Once you're out there talking to people your going to hear I don't need X but I'd love Y and over time you see opportunities that you never would have without starting the journey.
3 College guys here ages (19, 19, 20) based in Auburn. We just financed our first grinder (small 13 inch) and vac. This video really motivates us to work even harder. Crazy the scalability we were unsure if it was possible to this degree.
Another great video. I like what he said: when you stop focusing on your competition and start focusing on your costumers, that’s when things take off. Very simple, but wise words.
Corey great work! Thanks you allowing us to be apart of your journey to kick start this business. Looking forward to seeing you scale this business even farther.

The 2 day discovery class is a great option to know if the floor coatings business it right for them.

There's a reason there's not much competition in this space. I called 5 concrete grinding companies in my area before finding one that would grind the concrete in my business. 4 of 5 said they no longer offered the service, and two of the people told me directly that they got cancer from grinding concrete. Be careful out there, everyone. It's REALLY dangerous. The company that did come came in a hazmat suit with a large grinder like the one in the video that had two 5-foot-tall vacuums attached to the back of it. "You got weak lungs, Paul."
Exactly. To bad most people only think about capitalism and bit consequences to people's health. "you have weak lungs paul", "you don't wanna do the work yourself and kill yourself, that's why you need employees". I can't believe this guys mentality. Wonder what his environmental standards are as well

I am always amazed about the prices and margines for goods and services in the USA which are mentioned in such videos. In Germany it would be extremly difficult to find costumers for such products, especially for such a price. Doing business in the USA is a paradise. The people are apperently much more willing to spend money and much less price sensitive.
Yep, same here🤣i dont see opportunity for this business in indonesia. Even me thinking "nahh i wont spend that much. ill leave my concrete like this. I dont need the looks, the basic function s the same" But i keep watching to learn how this man run businesses
Remember JD you are not your ideal customer!!! I remind myself of that daily, just because you sell something you wouldn’t or could afford doesn’t mean others won’t! Have faith and be confident in what you do even if you yourself wouldn’t buy it! It’s valuable to someone!
Having an entrepreneurial spirit and work ethic can definitely be e rewarding in the US. If you come here with idea and it catches on, customers will come to you. There are many many examples of this. Literally, the land of of opportunity. But, there are others things that be come with it, so it's not for everyone.
Thank you for the comment John. 😀 Having a strategic sales plan can make a huge difference in a business's success. Please let us know if we can improve our content in any way!?
Thank you sir!!! Gotta automate as much as possible!! I try to take out as much human error as possible and also automate menial tasks to free the team up for more high level tasks
To the excellent team, first of all I would like to express my appreciation for your channel and your amazing work, you learn from every video and see that the basis is similar in every business, your questions are precise and sharp, simply a pleasure to watch. I am from Israel and I have an insurance business, I would be happy if you would bring up business owners who provide services such as insurance agents, lawyers, accountants and the like. Thanks
Organic vapor cartridges need to be changed daily. Otherwise you breathe in most of what you filtered the day before when you start the next morning in the first few minutes. Assuming that is the cartridge they are using.
Your videos give a lot of ideas and tips for business. Previously, a video with the elder construction contractor really inspired me when the guy talk about how he invested on GoogleAds. I gave up with Google Ads many years ago, the interview inspire me to start doing the ads again. Thank you so much.
Get back in and learn!!!! You gotta have it! I personally don't take on Google Ads because of the massive negative keywords lists you have to build over time, my advice to you is get with a google ads guy that specialized solely in your industry and you will get amazing results.
My biggest question is how do we gain access to the training manual? Whatever you might charge would certainly be worth it. I would very much like to enter my third year in coatings with a better way to train.
These are literally shot by iPhone but put together in a strategic manner along with safety, installer, office, sales manuals for the office. I will probably eventually start to sell them, I need to get in and highlight all the things you may need to change to adapt to your company. It would probably be in the $5-$10k range along with a few months of coaching you through everything
💖💖💖💖We really appreciate the support Voodoo Vic. You Rock! 😀😀👍👍Thank you so much for the comment. Please let us know what type of business you'd like to see featured next?
So glad you enjoyed Best Bros Painting. It's always interesting to see the different processes it takes to do different jobs. 😀What type of painting does your company specialize in?
This guy same thing. They went out and got the clients and sold contracts and then they worried about material and tools. Lots of smart business owners ceos will do this and the deposits they collect cover the upfront costs. It’s almost like kickstarter but you do it yourself. This is how everyone should start . Get the job first then worry about how to get it done. The battle is getting clients . Business is getting clients nothing else. The job needs to turn out nice yes but the only battle is customer acquisition that’s pretty much what business is.
$1800 - $2000 is just the cost to finance the truck trailer grinders and equipment per month. Technically that’s overhead. Gross profit is in the 40-50% range. Then with that money you pay the bills and overhead and admin staff and try to squeeze out some profit
At one point when he’s talking about the One Day Floor guy he did he’s training with. Does he say he was making $7k or $70k a month? He said the guy is operating with six trucks. I can’t imagine he said $7k but I can’t tell. Technically one crew (one truck) should be able to gross around $600k in installs per year. 6 crews (six trucks) would be insane.
I don’t think this guys realizes how lucky he is, he owns two multi million dollar business in a very small region with little competition, you could never achieve this in Southern California. 1. Our moisture has altered to a more dry climate 2. There is an abundance of people with out credentials competing for work. 3. Californias pay so much that when you propose fixing there garage floor for $5,600 there like I’ll have jo smo do it for $1800. It’s tough in California man
I agree!! Competition is everywhere in everything!!! This isn't something I plan to do the rest of my life!! There's no luck to it, just hard work and stratergery lol
Yes. Another reason to leave. The illegal labor force has made it very hard for businesses. The state isn’t friendly to businesses to begin with and the taxes are out of control. Get out now.
@@rochestertommy9995no luck plays a part. I started a moving company during a book when there were 4 other companies. Now there are 20 and the housing market is cooled off. Night and day buddy.
This is super weird…I literally just said last night that I was going to look on your page and see if you covered an epoxy guy and here it is the next day 🤯🤣
Min wage and cost of living is probably quite a bit higher here. $16hr min wage, which increases everything from food to products etc, along with a 10% sales tax on everything
Glad you love this video! Your appreciation means a lot to us and motivates us to continue producing content like this. Do you have a business topic you want to see next on the channel? 🤔
@@ryanreviews1741 I just would have thought it would be a hard sell at that price point? It's not a high priority in how people spend their money right? Most concrete cracks are non structural so a coating is usually for aesthetic reasons only was my understanding?
I think it probably does fall into aesthetics for sure, I did construction and we frequently did bathroom remodels. People would take their perfectly good functional bathroom and wanted to completely change the look or update it, much like how the concrete here serves its purpose and the cracks aren’t structural people may just want an updated look and to have it look nicer. In terms of selling it I think people can be talked into buying just about anything if they’re even mildly interested and if they have enough money to do so especially if you provide some type of benefit, so just telling people that your floor is going to last another 20-30 years just from having it coated then breaking it down to you’re only paying $5800 or roughly $200 per year for 30 years of worry free use of the floor I see no problem in understanding how someone could be sold on something like this.

It is so hard getting jobs in Florida, everyone wants to be cheap, and everyone is charging cheap just to land a job that those who will really deliver quality work can’t get paid what they’re worth.
None of it is easy!! The barriers to start any business are ridiculous!! Crazy to have to pay the government a tax just to have employees!! Taxed to death!!
wheres he finding guys for $18/hr? Ive been in the epoxy coatings business for 30 years. An $18/hr guy barely has a heartbeat or relies on a ride to work. Its tough work most guys wont work for less than $40 in the trades.

Remember JD you are not your ideal customer!!! I remind myself of that daily, just because you sell something you wouldn’t or could afford doesn’t mean others won’t! Have faith and be confident in what you do even if you yourself wouldn’t buy it! It’s valuable to someone!
Having an entrepreneurial spirit and work ethic can definitely be e rewarding in the US. If you come here with idea and it catches on, customers will come to you. There are many many examples of this. Literally, the land of of opportunity. But, there are others things that be come with it, so it's not for everyone.
Key point.....he has a Salesforce that went out and sold the service. He didn't wait and hope people will call him.
Thank you for the comment John. 😀 Having a strategic sales plan can make a huge difference in a business's success. Please let us know if we can improve our content in any way!?
2:05 best part of the video!
Another home run video from UpFlip!!
Congratulations to this guy! Sounds like he's crushing it!
It’s got it’s ups and downs but in the end worth it!
Great content per usual. Especially learning about the pipeline of a good experience, is just brilliant!
Thank you sir!!! Gotta automate as much as possible!! I try to take out as much human error as possible and also automate menial tasks to free the team up for more high level tasks
I loved how he talked about customer experience. Focus on your customers not competitor
@user-UpFlip01 🖕
To the excellent team, first of all I would like to express my appreciation for your channel and your amazing work, you learn from every video and see that the basis is similar in every business, your questions are precise and sharp, simply a pleasure to watch. I am from Israel and I have an insurance business, I would be happy if you would bring up business owners who provide services such as insurance agents, lawyers, accountants and the like. Thanks
I love the marketing strategy. Cat videos with an Epoxy floor in the background.
This guy is a smaaaart solid businessman !!!
Yes he is Ali. 😀Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment. Would you ever start a business in this industry?
Organic vapor cartridges need to be changed daily. Otherwise you breathe in most of what you filtered the day before when you start the next morning in the first few minutes. Assuming that is the cartridge they are using.
Corey don’t give a fuck
Please share where you got this information from, thats news to me
Bro your channel is brilliant! I hope everyone watching from foreign countries realises the globalisation possibility of what's being shown here.
Glad you like the channel, Jason! What has been your favorite video so far?
I used to do this. Even with wearing a respirator the silica dust still gets everywhere. Destroyed my lungs.
"you have weak lungs paul"
It's not risky to buy assets for your business. It's risky to spend all the business budget at mcdonalds on milkshakes.
this is awesome stuff! Great episode UpFlip!
Thanks so much Chad. 😀Glad you enjoyed the episode. What do you feel was the biggest take away from the video?
That floor cleaning material did the job a very noticeable improvement 👌 👍😊.
That's for sure! We're you intrigued about this industry? Perhaps want to venture on this biz?
Your videos give a lot of ideas and tips for business. Previously, a video with the elder construction contractor really inspired me when the guy talk about how he invested on GoogleAds.
I gave up with Google Ads many years ago, the interview inspire me to start doing the ads again. Thank you so much.
Get back in and learn!!!! You gotta have it! I personally don't take on Google Ads because of the massive negative keywords lists you have to build over time, my advice to you is get with a google ads guy that specialized solely in your industry and you will get amazing results.
@@pnwprowash1 Respect!
My biggest question is how do we gain access to the training manual? Whatever you might charge would certainly be worth it. I would very much like to enter my third year in coatings with a better way to train.
These are literally shot by iPhone but put together in a strategic manner along with safety, installer, office, sales manuals for the office. I will probably eventually start to sell them, I need to get in and highlight all the things you may need to change to adapt to your company. It would probably be in the $5-$10k range along with a few months of coaching you through everything
@@pnwprowash That would be awesome!
I live specifically for this channel
💖💖💖💖We really appreciate the support Voodoo Vic. You Rock! 😀😀👍👍Thank you so much for the comment. Please let us know what type of business you'd like to see featured next?
@@UpFlip Leatherwork businesses!
Bro mix the dust w the resin BLACK N LIGHT GREY DONT MATCH
1 cup dust makes it the same as ur floor trust been at it 18 yr
Way to go Corey!
preciate that stevo!!!!
Great Work, Love the process from start to finish.
So glad you enjoyed Best Bros Painting. It's always interesting to see the different processes it takes to do different jobs. 😀What type of painting does your company specialize in?
This guy same thing. They went out and got the clients and sold contracts and then they worried about material and tools. Lots of smart business owners ceos will do this and the deposits they collect cover the upfront costs. It’s almost like kickstarter but you do it yourself. This is how everyone should start . Get the job first then worry about how to get it done. The battle is getting clients . Business is getting clients nothing else. The job needs to turn out nice yes but the only battle is customer acquisition that’s pretty much what business is.
Wow 1,800 cost vs 60,000 in revenue. The Gross Profit is insane
$1800 - $2000 is just the cost to finance the truck trailer grinders and equipment per month. Technically that’s overhead. Gross profit is in the 40-50% range. Then with that money you pay the bills and overhead and admin staff and try to squeeze out some profit
A Body shop would be a fire video 🔥🔥
We are on it!
thankyou for the free game!
At one point when he’s talking about the One Day Floor guy he did he’s training with. Does he say he was making $7k or $70k a month? He said the guy is operating with six trucks. I can’t imagine he said $7k but I can’t tell. Technically one crew (one truck) should be able to gross around $600k in installs per year. 6 crews (six trucks) would be insane.
I think I stuttered there a little bit. But yes you are correct! Lee runs 5-7 trucks daily
@@pnwprowash1 sorry to interrupt, he runs that many trucks and makes 60k a month?
I don’t think this guys realizes how lucky he is, he owns two multi million dollar business in a very small region with little competition, you could never achieve this in Southern California. 1. Our moisture has altered to a more dry climate 2. There is an abundance of people with out credentials competing for work. 3. Californias pay so much that when you propose fixing there garage floor for $5,600 there like I’ll have jo smo do it for $1800. It’s tough in California man
I agree!! Competition is everywhere in everything!!! This isn't something I plan to do the rest of my life!! There's no luck to it, just hard work and stratergery lol
Yes. Another reason to leave. The illegal labor force has made it very hard for businesses. The state isn’t friendly to businesses to begin with and the taxes are out of control.
Get out now.
The Mexicans lol
Nothing to do with luck.
@@rochestertommy9995no luck plays a part. I started a moving company during a book when there were 4 other companies. Now there are 20 and the housing market is cooled off. Night and day buddy.
Wow he’s charging close to $10 per sq ft. That’s pretty high. Good for him
he dropped good knowledge good episode bro
wow ! these princepals could work in any start up .
You gotta do a UA-camr or even yourself to help show people how much you can grow and make by being consistent 🙏🏼👨🏻🍼
This is super weird…I literally just said last night that I was going to look on your page and see if you covered an epoxy guy and here it is the next day 🤯🤣
annd booom!!!! :)
What sales pipeline system are you using
That’s more than twice the cost for comparable service here locally in Colorado.
Min wage and cost of living is probably quite a bit higher here. $16hr min wage, which increases everything from food to products etc, along with a 10% sales tax on everything
This guy knows how to run a company!!!
Absolutely, he is! Thanks for watching!
He definitely does! ☺️
it shut down
Wow, this guy is amazing.
He's absolutely incredible!
Can you make an epoxy floor blog?
Wow thanks for this video I have been all over the internet And this was informative and not boring to watch. Exactly what I was looking for
Glad you love this video! Your appreciation means a lot to us and motivates us to continue producing content like this. Do you have a business topic you want to see next on the channel? 🤔
@@UpFlip do a gym business!
$5,600 USD for a floor coating?! That's insane.
I’d imagine it’s cheaper and takes far less time than demolishing and replacing the concrete itself.
@@ryanreviews1741 I just would have thought it would be a hard sell at that price point? It's not a high priority in how people spend their money right? Most concrete cracks are non structural so a coating is usually for aesthetic reasons only was my understanding?
I think it probably does fall into aesthetics for sure, I did construction and we frequently did bathroom remodels. People would take their perfectly good functional bathroom and wanted to completely change the look or update it, much like how the concrete here serves its purpose and the cracks aren’t structural people may just want an updated look and to have it look nicer. In terms of selling it I think people can be talked into buying just about anything if they’re even mildly interested and if they have enough money to do so especially if you provide some type of benefit, so just telling people that your floor is going to last another 20-30 years just from having it coated then breaking it down to you’re only paying $5800 or roughly $200 per year for 30 years of worry free use of the floor I see no problem in understanding how someone could be sold on something like this.
@@ryanreviews1741 100%!!! Our target customer has disposable income!
Thank you so much for all the information and knowledge that you have shared here on your channel.
I’ve really been thinking about doing some kind of side hustle and this is one of the markets that I’ve been very interested in.
Thank you and God Bless,Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊❗️
He must have went to Jon Don's - Strategies For Success! Many things he touches on, they taught us... Especially the $20 bonus for reviews.
I never went, I'll have to check it out!!!
A better roller frame would be a Wooster big ben and damn these guys work messy other than that wow amazing video
you guys could pass for brothers, you look alike.
Corey is a rockstar
Thank you for watching Elena. 😀💖He is really great and you are too. Please let us know what you feel was the most valuable information in the video!?
Nooooo YOU ARE!!!!!
You guys MUST do a show on Elena next. She’s the biggest baddest person you guys will interview to date :)
Oh wow I came here to learn and did not know this company is based out of my hometown!.
I see the house with the moisture problems is up on South Hill by WWU.
Thank you for taking the time to watch! ☺️
The common denominator in success here is Cory, it’s not the type of business he went into.
Thank you so much for the kind words!! The cool thing is the knowledge I’ve learned, it’s transferable to any business!!
Great information in this episode. Thank you.
Thank you Jahkeem. We really appreciate that. 😀 Are you or would you ever get into this industry?
@@UpFlip I have a service based business. The marketing tips, systems, budgeting, leveraging your cash, how much he pays his sales associates, and the background office work will help me in my industry.
I feel like I can feel the tension between you two through the video lol
lololololol, I like Paul but if he calls me Cody oneeeeee more time lol
@@pnwprowash1 ya'll should just box & call it a day. I think it was the "were you raised in a barn" comment that started it 😂
he charges customers 5k per job and pay employees 200$ a day
$5k job equates to $450 per employee in one day. Nice try
‼️‼️Talk more about finances! We need to learn more about how to finance equipment, trucks, trailers, loans, insurance,Money management, Payroll, Taxes, anyone can do the labor, My dog can grind floors and prep for epoxy. we need to learn how to actually run and grow a business‼️‼️ we are NOT workers anymore we are business owners or Atleast trying to be, totally different skill set
It’s a lottttt of learning to do!! Build your org chart, budget your labor and expenses, build the marketing system, and work your way out of that org chart!
The way you finance equipment, trucks, trailers etc is by selling!
Damn. 50% deposits to fund the business?!
In most states, like Tennesse for example, if you collect more than 1/3 before doing the job, you’ve committed a crime lmao 😅
Exactly! I just had to comment, i had a brother n law startup a risky business like that. He’s divorced and in prison
we do 50 percent deposit as well. we are in idaho
This is true!! Definitely have to check your local laws!!
I own a hardwood business. I don’t put a customer in my schedule w/o a 50% deposit. People want our services. Never had an issue with deposits. My reviews and recommendations makes people giving deposits a non issue.
@@Bigmike55626 I own 2 very successful construction companies, I started at the bottom. Every person that works for me has healthcare, retirement plans, and i give lots of incentives to do good work, and make more money. My guys are very good and loyal. I still get my hands dirty to help my guys out, don’t need to, but I enjoy helping others. I have always performed work before payment, even if I’m building a new home, I’ll get in about 30k worth of work before I draw. I have earned very good clients, that are like family. I think my family has been so blessed, because we want to help other’s be successful, like the big genuinely helps us.
awesome video! thanks!
I wonder what business he'll try next. I think spray foam is an interesting one
Im already on to the next thing, I'm building a Marketing Company! Revenue Goal is $2M in the next 365 Days
Great content as always!
Thank you so much!!
Really I will also be starting this business soon by taking his strategy and doing marketing I can also achieve that success🏆💪
super learnt alot
Who built your pipeline funnels and sales targeting system?
I did!
@@pnwprowash1why did you shut down?😊
Do you know if they sell the training videos that he made? I would be interestedz
I’m wandering what software are they using to keep leads organised
There are several software options available to help you keep your leads organized. Could you specify your niche or industry so that we can provide you with more tailored recommendations?
Please do an interview with a powder coating company!
Who is your coach can you please tell me? And how can I find ones in my area?
This was great! TY!
Your more than welcome shazzzam79. 😀💖Thank you for supporting the channel. What type of business do you think we should feature next?
Dissapointed that our epoxy floor specialist did this entire interview from his giant shop with completely uncoated floors
Definitely something we'll take note for the next time! 😅
Great video.
excellent business
Who is a good supplier for the epoxy and flakes?
we did polyespartic resin its 10 times better andwe made 100k a yr w 2 people 1 truck trick is to use better material and only have rich customers
14 yrs ago we charged 4200 for a 2 car garage
Basically he made most leads on Facebook ads.
Thank you for the comment ATX1. Yes, social media can be a great resource if used correctly. 😀 Are you or would you get into this type of business?
Yes about 70% FB/Insta, 20% Google, 5% Street Signs. We will improve follow up sequences and add in some strategic mailers for next year
I tried to start an epoxy business in Florida and couldn’t find any customers
Its extremely hard but gotta push through!! Don't give up
I'm having my garage floors done next week
I had three estimates and he's getting $7,000 for a floor I think that's extremely high because I had three estimates done and the highest was 2700 the lowest was 1800 and in the middle was 2100 I live in Central Florida
@@movingman07 what is the square footage of your garage? He said $7k for a 1,000 square foot job. $7/sqft. Florida has a lot more competition because you can do these floors nearly year round
@@movingman07 if I were u I wouldn’t let anyone touch my floors for $1800 or $2700 at 1000sf that is just way too cheap. What will it cost you down the road. I’ve seen the ugly and horrific jobs ppl do and get for being too cheap.
It is so hard getting jobs in Florida, everyone wants to be cheap, and everyone is charging cheap just to land a job that those who will really deliver quality work can’t get paid what they’re worth.
Yeah had a brother n law try to start a business risky like that. He’s divorced and in prison.
Yikessssss, luckily im a person of integrity!!!
@@pnwprowash1 yeah he got busted because he misunderstood labor laws. Trying to call employees subs, all good till someone gets hurt.
None of it is easy!! The barriers to start any business are ridiculous!! Crazy to have to pay the government a tax just to have employees!! Taxed to death!!
On average a epoxy floor company makes 36k? Hard to believe
I’m assuming they were talking about an installer.
wheres he finding guys for $18/hr? Ive been in the epoxy coatings business for 30 years. An $18/hr guy barely has a heartbeat or relies on a ride to work. Its tough work most guys wont work for less than $40 in the trades.
No where in this video does it say we hire at $18hr
How did you do your manuals for tests. What platform and how did you do it?
I use Google Forms. Film the video, loan on UA-cam, embed in the form, create test questions! Boom!
@@pnwprowash Thank you so much Sir. I wld like to follow that method. As a part of my Onboarding process with new hires.
Would love to know what software he uses for all of his workflows
