@pestctrlguy Revenue is an important number, but by itself it doesn't tell the whole story. A company can double its revenue and actually make less money if it's aggressively investing in future growth.

[Eric Beckstrand @EricBeckstrand]

@pestctrlguy As you know, growth costs a lot of money. In many cases, the more growth I am experiencing, the less profitable it is in the short term because so much is being reinvested into recruiting, training, commissions, infrastructure, expansion, marketing, and support.

@paultoala65 Bro! Im showing the crew this. Inspiring!

@pestctrlguy aptive has sued many many reps too. Their hands are very dirty. I personally know people they made go bankrupt for leaving. They have stretched their non solicitation in a shady way. I also have been in depositions with them. Zero respect for them.

[Eric Beckstrand @EricBeckstrand]

@pestctrlguy 2015 is misleading. Selling a Moxie franchise, Eco Sure, Eco 1st, alterra, and now sold aptive.

They have sold 5 times.

@Joshua_the_car Future POTUS???

[Eric Beckstrand @EricBeckstrand]

@Joshua_the_car This is the way.
If you live the next 10+ years of your life like others won't... you will live the rest of your life like others can't.

@pestctrlguy Not flexing just proving a point that D2D rocks. 1 office 1 week quarter of a million.

It was rainy all week too.

@FiredUpCoug Injury lawyer. Dog bite cases are cut and dry. Your daughter deserves in the insurance $. The dog owner also needs to learn a lesson.

@PhilTeichert @pestctrlguy *have to charge*

[Eric Beckstrand @EricBeckstrand]

@PhilTeichert @pestctrlguy Hard truth, but it’s reality. Bigger businesses are built on delivering strong value and charging accordingly.

@Joshua_the_car @imfat People arent willing to sacrifice like you did with comfort etc. They all need their own room with the nicest, newest stuff imaginable.

[Eric Beckstrand @EricBeckstrand]

@jasonqsmith @pestctrlguy Fair question and you’re right, it goes both ways. Wrong hires, and a couple guys who weren’t as committed as they initially presented. It’s on me for not filtering better.
Point is, stuff happens in business. You adjust, fix it, and move forward, and that’s exactly what we did.

[Eric Beckstrand @EricBeckstrand]

@pestctrlguy Moral of the story...you’ve got this! Employees can be frustrating, even when you do everything right.

@pestctrlguy I own 6 offices. 30+ mil/year. Opened market 5 and hired 5 techs beginning of April and all 5 quit overnight mid May. Flew out, ran 30+ jobs/day for 10 days, pulled help from other markets, then rebuilt the team. Ended up way stronger...but in the moment it was frustrating.
