How College HUNKS Built an Award-Winning Culture and Freed the Owner from Daily Operations
It’s Time
After 11 years of business ownership and never being able to create the synergy he desired, Barry Reiss of College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving realized he needed a coach.
He wanted to take his business to the next level. He wanted to create an environment of mentorship for his young managers. Most importantly, he wanted to enjoy the benefits of business ownership while removing himself from the day-to-day operations.
Barry hired me—and he has never been happier.
We Got to Work
We started by creating the organizational structure and identifying the key players.
Next, we developed the vision, mission, and culture necessary to properly align the management team.
We then implemented a measurement system with KPIs and performance metrics, followed by an accountability and review process.
The Shift
Barry began to witness tremendous personal growth in his managers and a significant shift in the company’s culture.
The keys were handed off to Devon, who now runs the day-to-day leadership responsibilities.
Barry’s workweek was reduced to just three or four half days, and he has taken numerous bucket-list vacations—even during the busy season.
His team never missed a beat while he was away.
Results
Barry now has the synergy in his business that he was never able to create on his own.
Barry of College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving won the “Best Company Culture” in 2022 and “Best Company with 10 or More Employees” in 2023 at the ActionCOACH Business Excellence Forum & Awards Conference.
Both revenue and profits increased, while the company has consistently ranked among the top five franchise locations in the College HUNKS Hauling Junk & Moving system.
What the Client Said?
In Barry’s Own Words
I have known Michael many years professionally. 18 months ago I realized I needed a coach to bring my business to the next level, mentor my young managers and allow me to enjoy the benefits of business ownership, taking myself out of the day to day. I hired Michael and have never been happier, I have seen such personal growth of all my managers and a shift in the culture of our company. I have cut my work weeks down to 3 or 4 days and taken 10 day vacations during our busy season. All this knowing that my team would not miss a beat. Michael has created a synergy in my business that after 11years I have not been able to do myself. Anyone looking to organize, grow and make profitable a business with multiple moving parts should look at what Mike has to offer. Mike will be on my team for a long time.
