George Schiano | Don't Be Cheap | Mission Control Podcast

In this episode of the Mission Control podcast, Mike Stearns welcomes George Schiano, the owner of Epic Exteriors in New Jersey. George shares the compelling story of launching his business six years ago, driven to start his own LLC the very night his previous employer announced a cut to his sales commissions. Starting with a hyper-focus on roofing, George explains how he organically expanded his services to include siding, windows, doors, and more by fulfilling the requests of past clients who already trusted his work. The conversation explores his unique sales strategies, such as leading with 48 months of interest-free financing, and the importance of taking full accountability, highlighted by a wild story of making things right after a nail gun accidentally fell through a client's ceiling.
