Elevate Book Reveals…
The Method To Attract And Develop A Winning Team
That Helped Me Build A $200M Business In 19 States
In 2020, Brad had never fixed a Garage Door in his life when he joined my company, A1 Garage.
Two years later he was traveling with me to Cabo to celebrate his new sales record: $1.2M.
But we weren't alone.
Other 15 technicians who surpassed the $1M mark also joined the party.
Me and 3 others celebrating our arrival at Cabo!
And this year, I bet this number will either double or triple.
Wanna know why?
Because I've built a machine that creates A-players at will.
In fact, this month I've hired 50 new people. And that's just the beginning.
The onboarding training of our latest hires.
Now listen, I'm not sharing this to brag.
There was a time in my business when people were stealing toilet paper from my office.
I couldn't trust my own team.
If I needed something to get done, I always had to get involved.
Employees didn't want to work hard. They didn't care as much. And sometimes they were just not cut for the job.
That made me hate my business. I had to work 14-hour days to keep it afloat and had no vacation. No weekend. No family time.
Every day felt like an uphill battle and I was constantly stressed out.
The worst part?
Whenever people asked me “how is business going?” I’d come up with a vague answer and change the subject right away.
I wasn’t proud of my business.
I knew my family, friends, and the few good employees I had all expected more from me.
And I was letting them down.
But for my luck, things started to change when I stumbled upon a powerful idea…
Darren Hardy’s Perfect Woman
The list was big, and I didn’t implement it all at once.
But it took just a few weeks for the environment in the office to feel already different.
And over time these changes started to compound.
One event in particular made me realize how critical that new approach was to the growth of my business…
I Still Remember That Day.
The 12th Of April 2020.
COVID had just hit.
My employees line up outside my office. And I’m freaking out: “Are they going to resign? Am I going to be left alone here?”
I’m sweating so much that my assistant can smell it from the other side of the room.
The first employee enters the room, avoiding eye contact.
He sits in front of me, tries to utter a few words and pauses to think for another second.
So I say: “Hey John, what’s going on?”
“Tommy, I know the situation with COVID isn’t easy. But I don’t want anyone to get fired. We’re a family here. If needed, I can cut part of my salary to help.”
Not gonna lie to you. That caught me off guard.
And John wasn’t alone. One by one, they all entered the office and offered to help the company.
That was the moment I had an epiphany:
“This is the #1 reason for my success. It’s why I’ve been doubling every year… I’ve built a company where everybody can win.”
My team was up for a big sacrifice because they knew that if we made it, there was an opportunity for them to win as well.
And I still remember the words from one of my technicians:
“Tommy, you’ve elevated the lives of everybody here. Last year I finally bought a house thanks to A1. And I have many other dreams to accomplish in the next few years. So I’ll do whatever it takes now to help us go through this turbulence.”
Since that episode, I made a promise to myself…
That I’d share with other business owners how they can Elevate their businesses too.
How they can stop being a firefighter, build a team that gives a damn about their companies, and scale without having to work like a madman.
Because by doing that, I’ll help Elevate the whole industry.
Which is my goal with my new book Elevate: Build A Business Where Everybody Wins.
Here's Just a Taste Of What You'll get from this book:
- The mindset that allowed me to stop being a firefighter and transformed myself into the commander of my ship.
- The structure to Elevate your team and build a company that runs by itself. On our best day we sold $625,000 and I wasn't even there.
- How to use Scorecards to get your team to win and perform at their highest level.
- Why most advice about Culture sucks, and the right way to build a culture of A-players for your company. We have 700+ employees in 19 states, and our retention rate is through the roof.
- How to create a magnet for talent, so you'll have the best employees begging to work for you. Last month I hired 50 new technicians.
- The recruiting system that helps you weed out the bad apples and identify the ideal candidates for your business.
- Why “hiring for attitude” only works if you have a killer onboarding process and consistent training. We constantly hire people who are new to the job and in less than 3 months they are already killing it.
- The exact systems to Elevate your team, retain your best performers, and create an environment where everybody wins.

The interview is a key step in the hiring process.

Setting up an interview for success means: Candidates actually show up for the call feeling excited about the opportunity and you come across as confident and prepared.
To do that, I convinced my friends at Breakthrough Academy to share with you their “Interview Setup Call Tool.”
And that’s not all.
They’re also sharing their “Interview Guide Tool.” This tool will save you 1000s of hours down the line by giving you:
- 10 character traits to look for that are proven to be present in high-performing team members
-
A behavior-centric approach to interviewing that gives you insight into HOW the candidate will show up in the position, long before they step foot on site

Bonus #3: The 7 Steps Of Delegation
Al Levi was the mentor who revolutionized the way I run processes and systems in my business.
And of the key secrets he shared with me was his 7 steps of delegation.
I used to dump tasks at my team and expect them to get things done.
But they’d just keep getting back to me with more and more questions.
Al taught me that delegation is a process.
If you don’t do it the right way, it will only create more work for you, and you’ll not set your team up for success.
But don’t worry because with this bonus we’ll cover that in detail.
One month from now, you’ll be amazed at how much more your team can accomplish when you follow the 7 steps of delegation.

Bonus #4: Objection Handling System
One of the best investments I made in my company was to hire Joe Crisara to train my salespeople.
And as you know, objection handling is a critical skill when it comes to sales.
So I asked Joe if he could give you access to his 3-Step Objection Handling System, and he said “YES.”
Listen, training is a huge part of elevating your team.
And the better they become at sales, the higher will be your conversion rates and average ticket.

The Big Shift You Can’t Afford To Ignore
Like it or not, we're going through a huge transformation in the workplace.
The pandemic changed the way people approach their jobs, and made them reevaluate their relationships with their employers.
In 2022, 46.6 million people left their jobs.
And this trend is not going down any sooner.
The truth is... no one wants to work for an average company anymore.
At least not the ones who know their value.
People want to work for companies that Elevate them and help them win.
The few companies that realized this are investing heavily in their teams.
And they’ll be the ones reaping the benefits in the next few years…
While the other companies will fight for what’s left in the market.
So you have a critical decision to make right now: Do you want to be on the leading edge of your industry, or play catch-up when things get tough?
