On this episode, Josh talks with Alex Lathery, owner of Blue Collar Builds, about adding technology to small businesses after an acquisition and/or to improve business efficiency and profitability.
Alex started on this path because he had a friend who acquired a landscaping business from an older owner who was retiring, after running a lifestyle business. His friend had gone in, as a lot of people do when they acquire a business, to something that was really just pen and paper, no website, very minimal digital presence that was doing more harm than it was good due to some bad reviews. He decided to help his buddy build up his digital presence, and that's how his business was born.
From there, he expanded into providing services for different businesses like junk removal, house cleaning, pressure washing, window cleaning, real estate and more. The typical playbook is to convert this pen and paper model to digital marketing, to automated systems and it's important to choose the right software to use, without breaking the bank. That's where Alex's team comes in.
