On today’s episode Kenny Chapman shares how in-home trades have been impacted by the Great Resignation and how leadership can elevate their skills to speak to the needs of workers with a desire for independence. Listen in as Deborah and Kenny discuss the empowerment of independent contractors, how to build confidence as a leader, and why networking is critical for long-term success. Kenny Chapman founded The Blue Collar Success Group with the focus of providing guidance that the in-home industry severely lacked – consistent ethical technician training and retention, on-site consulting, personalized marketing and business strategies to boost the bottom line for owners and entrepreneurs. He noticed a need after hearing complaints from his industry peers and experiencing that frustration on his own, back in 1994 when he bought a plumbing company in Colorado and only took in $1,000 a month in revenue. Kenny, now an award-winning industry trainer who later built that business into a multi-million dollar company, used his expertise to fill a void with the ever-changing Blue Collar Success Group designed for electricians, plumbers and HVAC services. The team provides expert coaching for each individual trade needs, training for owners, technicians and office team members, multiple membership levels catered to the specific needs of each client, networking among businesses near and far who may experience similar issues, web-based schools, live events and more to grow your business and have a better quality of life. The Blue Collar Success Group and its premier, industry-proven programs have been featured in USA TODAY, Contracting Business, Plumbing & Mechanical, and on Fox News, NBC and ABC News.
