After Jackson, Mississippi, we traveled due north for three hours to visit Memphis, TN and Redeemers Group, owned by Clint Cooper. The company started out years ago with Clint's father-in-law doing roof cleaning. He called it Roof Redeemers. The don't do roofs anymore, but love CleanSpace since they started it 5 years ago. They have grown each year and did $1.1 million last year on 450 leads, 230 of which came from the TreeHouse. Their goal for this year is $1.6! I believe they will do it. We met Clint, two salespeople, Michael Lurie, and Wyatt Burford. They are eager and keen to make it happen.
They have one of the smallest, or perhaps the smallest building in the network: 1,200 sq ft with sales, call center, production -- the whole works. It was bought and paid for years ago. Low overhead!
Clint has something that's driving his young company forward: energy, optimism, and momentum. Talk to him and it rubs off on you. A great leadership quality!
We went out to dinner a few blocks from Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley. We ate Memphis barbecue ribs -- and let me tell you they were the best smoked ribs I've ever eaten. The place was famous for them and had been on tv a lot.
Mmmmmm....
