Rich Jordan - Buying a Small Plumbing Business - Ep. 36

Published: Nov. 3, 2020, 8 a.m.

My guest is Rich Jordan. Rich bought a home service plumbing business only a few short weeks ago in Pennsylvania. If you\u2019re on Twitter, you might already be familiar with Rich as he has been tweeting about his time running the business and has been so much fun to follow. If you\u2019re not already following him you\u2019re missing out. During the episode we talk about Rich\u2019s first few days in the business getting his hands dirty, fighting off competing offers for his plumbers from competitors, and a few moves he\u2019s done to grow revenue 60% in only 8 weeks of ownership.\xa0\n\nIf you liked the Collin Hathaway episode from a few weeks ago you\u2019re going to love this one as Rich reminds me of an early-days version of Collin. He is just getting started but has made tremendous progress already and I hope you enjoy getting to hear about his short journey so far.\xa0\n\nFor the full episode transcript and more information, visit alexbridgeman.com/podcast.\nI\u2019m also the founder of The Operator\u2019s Handbook, a print publication where small company operators share their insights and ideas for building more effective and profitable companies.
