“I am extremely thrilled to be named as the 2015 Small Business Icon. Words can’t describe how I’m feeling now. Winning an award like this is something I will never forget!” exclaimed Brian Young.
In addition to growing his business 350 percent in revenues, since Young invested in Infusionsoft in 2012 he has lessened his work hours from 80 to 60 per week, increased his customer satisfaction rating from 85 to 98 percent, gone from 200 clients to a database of over 6,000, and made Home Painters Toronto one of the leading full-service painting companies in the Greater Toronto Area. The company began as a one-man army with zero use of technology. Since Infusionsoft and the launch of its website in 2012, Home Painters Toronto has succeeded in landing numerous TV appearances including CP24 Breakfast Television, HGTV’s Custom Built, and various partnerships with other trusted brands and organizations here and abroad.
While the company’s growth in the past few years has been substantial, what Infusionsoft really gave Young was the freedom to pick his 5 year old daughter up from school every day. “There is no amount of increased revenue that can replace the time I can now spend with my daughter every week,” Brian lamented in his presentation. He also spends a lot of his newfound free time playing in his band, ice hockey games, and just recently took up golf. Through the power and automation of Infusionsoft, Home Painters Toronto can now hire the appropriate staff to grow exponentially, and free up considerable time from it’s busy CEO.
