We're currently the fifth largest residential pest control company in the nation.
Wow. So we're we're an 80 plus markets nationwide.
And we just recently went through a transaction and brought in a private equity
partner between our corporate, our sales force and our day to day
remote office employees. We're about I'd say about five thousand.
And I see a lot of like 22 year old, twenty seven year old, twenty four year olds.
A lot of them are talking about making like 100K, 200K, 300K, 100K in a summer.
Is that true? We've had multiple reps that, 300 K, a hundred K in a summer.
Is that true?
We've had multiple reps that have done, uh, done over a million dollars in new customer
revenue in one summer.
Yeah.
So they, yeah, I'm going to start working.
Yeah.
Let's go knock some doors.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Christmas and Hanukkah special edition of the money Mondays right now
We are inside of an RV motorhome parked
Side of our toy drive doing 10 cities in 16 days for the world's largest toy drive
You guys can visit largest toy drive calm, but when this episode comes out
Sadly, the toy jobs are complete and all of my flights and all my miles are completed.
But why did I say it's extra special?
Because sitting right next to me is literally Buddy the elf.
Yes, some people call him Kyle.
Yes, he built up a huge sales team and a huge company and massive business.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
We'll get to that.
But first it's Christmas week.
We got to talk to Buddy the elf. So what we're going to do here on the Money Mondays, as
you know, we cover three core topics, how to make money and invest money, how to give
it away to charity. But it's really important for you guys that are listening to keep talking
about money with your friends, family, and followers. We all grew up thinking it's rude
to talk about money. I think it's ridiculous that we don't talk about it because we go
to high school, go to college, and we go out there into the world and we don't talk about it because we go to high school or go to college and we go out there into the
world and we don't know about taxes or how to deal with a bank account or
Balance a budget or like deal with a checkbook. What is a checkbook? Should we take a loan? Should we get it?
I don't know. Should we rent should we lease should we buy we don't know these things cuz no one's a lot to talk about it
Well, the reason the podcast has been in the top 10 for 95 out of our 101 weeks when you're
listening to this episode is because of you.
Because you guys are liking, commenting, subscribing, and sharing.
It's very, very important to us.
So without further ado, I'm going to bring it over to Kyle, known as Buddy the Elf, to
give us a quick two-minute bio and we'll get straight to the money.
All right.
So yeah, my name is Kyle Nielsen, AKA Buddy, AKA the NBA elf.
And I love being an elf. So yeah, my name is Kyle Nielsen aka Buddy aka the NBA elf and I
Love
Being an elf
No, I yeah, I dress up like this during the holiday season quick version of that is that it started at a toy drive
Almost 12. Yeah about 12 13 years ago. When did the movie come out? It's 20 20 years old now
I think they have the 20th anniversary. I don't you know fact-check me whatever but I'm gonna figure it wrong, you know in the comments call me out
But yeah, it's about 20 years old now. And so about 12 years ago
I threw the elf costume on wore it to a toy drive sub persona for my company and
The next year my employees like you're gonna wear it again. What's going on with that?
So I rented the costume again threw it on and when we were in the checkout line at Target,
one of the Target checkers was like,
you were here last year buying toys for all these families,
and we talked about how the elf was so happy.
And so I was like, a whole year later,
I was like, this made a difference.
And then, so I kind of just started wearing it
to the toy drives, charity events,
and then I threw it on in an NBA arena and it went viral when Rudy Gobert
stole my hat, put it on Donovan Mitchell's head after the game instead of pouring water on him,
and then I was like, well, let's just keep the ripple effect growing bigger. When I'm not
Elfin around, I kill bugs. I'm in the pest control industry and I run sales teams for door-to-door
pest control and we're currently the fifth largest residential pest
control company in the nation.
Wow.
And we just recently went through a transaction
and brought in a private equity partner.
Explain what that means.
Yeah, so we, see I'm going on my 18th year now
in the pest control.
All the same brand?
So different brands.
Yeah.
So same ownership group.
We originally were part of a franchise called Moxie
Our ownership group sold that franchise off to Terminex
rolled that money in started a company called eco first sold that off after a few years to Terminex again, they bought our customer base and
Then we started coming called Altera
Altera again Terminex came in and only bought our customer base but bought the brand and every single year
I mean every single three to four year run we would build it up more and more and then back
in 2015 we were like we're done kind of selling customers off our let's build
the next one to be the brand that we live and love with you know we live
love with we live live in love with forever and so that was active in 2015
and we're going on our tenth summer so we're hitting a decade with that brand
and it'll be active for you know for as long as it goes which is which has been
fun and so we built it with the intention of bringing in a private
equity partner at some point or having some sort of strategic exit and after a
lot of years and a lot of EBITDA ups and downs and struggles and learning and
profitable years and fun we found a great partner in Citation Capital
and they came in and we struck a deal
and we're running the next three to five
to whatever years it is with them
to see what we can do with it.
How many employees are out there in the active ecosystem?
Yeah, about 5,000.
5,000?
Yeah, so we're in 80 plus markets nationwide
and yeah, between our corporate, our Salesforce,
and our day-to-day remote office employees,
we're about, I'd say about 5,000.
So I speak at a lot of solar, roofing, pest control,
door-to-door industry type events,
and I see a lot of like 22 year old, 27 year old,
24 year olds, a lot of them are talking about
making like 100K,
200K, 300K, 100K in a summer.
Is that true?
Yeah.
Yeah. I mean, for every big success story,
there's also the guys that go home with nothing
because of their work or their lack thereof typically.
But yeah, I mean, it's very, very possible for anybody.
I mean, we had a 44, 45 year old guy come out this year
as a rookie salesman, had never knocked doors before,
had worked in the pest control industry
for quite a few years,
and then transitioned off into something different.
And was like, I know pest control,
but I also want to try sales.
He came out and made, I think 200, like 150, $200,000.
In a summer.
In a summer.
Yeah. I mean, really to break it down you make commission off of every
sale that you make a good rep can be putting on eight to ten new customer
accounts a day rookie can be putting on like one to two accounts a day for a
rookie to sell two accounts a day they have to talk to about 60 people to talk
to about 60 people on the doors you You're walking door to door to door knocking on doors
saying, do you need pest control? And it's not as simple as that, but there's art to it.
But they're having to talk to, they're having to knock about 150 to 200 doors.
So, you know, the, the, the fun thing about it, or that gets the, the thing that makes it so hard is
that to get to two people to say yes, you have to be rejected
60 plus times Wow, so most people can't deal with can't bear it Yeah that and I tell people when they're when they're interested in the job and they hear about the success stories and they come in
I say look like if this job was easy
Everybody would do it if everybody could do it. It wouldn't pay what it pays
Right, of course
so like you have to take rejection and you have to get it has to you know, it to be like water off the ducks back like you just have to be able to roll off that and
And get through it and you knock enough doors
Eventually doors gonna open
Okay, walk us through it. Just give us the main idea
When that rookie goes out there for the first time they're gonna go knock on how many doors in one day ballpark?
a good rookie that actually really wants to see results
150 to 200 doors. In one day?
In one day. Is that an eight hour day? We start yeah I mean probably closer to 10. So we every
morning we get together for morning meeting we talk about the sales skills from the day what were the
challenges we go through the team's goals we get on the doors about 10 15 10 30 we work till about
3 34 o'clock take a quick lunch break bathroom break get out get back on the doors by 430 and work till dark
So it's a markets at 830 some it's 930
We typically don't want people knocking on doors after 10 o'clock at night obviously, but yeah the people that do it really well
Can schedule other return appointments so and when they catch the husband or wife at home earlier and they're come back and talk to my husband
They schedule those ones into the dark. So
that way it gives them a purpose to be there at dark. So when they're knocking on doors,
they're knocking on people's doors that are expecting them to come back by not, you know,
not super late. But yeah, I know they're, they're long 10 to 10 plus hour days when
you add in the training and the drive time back and forth. And then we train at night,
we train in the mornings. Like it's a very intense day to go out there and you know,
but again, for a rookie, 18, 19, 20, 21,
21, 22 year old kid in college to come out
and make 20, even 30 grand in a summer.
That's massive.
That's life changing.
Wow. Okay.
So they're out there, they're knocking doors.
Let's say they made a hundred thousand dollars that summer.
What do you say to these 24 year olds
to not go below the a hundred,000 before the next summer?
Buy real estate, make sure you set up your tax strategy
right so you create your LLC,
get, you know, don't get paid as a sole proprietor,
create a structure with that, invest your money,
and be smart.
Obviously it's, you know, you can go buy yourself
a nice car, you can buy yourself, you know,
something to reward yourself for the hard work, but
don't just blow it.
Like it's, it's tough to not want to burn through it.
And what I see some, some people do in the industry is that they're, they're not from
a leadership standpoint, they're not educating their sales force on the tax burdens.
And they're not really real.
The kids aren't realizing that taxes aren't coming out of my paychecks.
And then at the end of the year, they, uncle Sam's like,
I was locking on their door. And what that sometimes happens,
if a company doesn't train and educate the reps properly,
then that rep is now left with a pretty big tax burden and their company is not
going to throw throw them a bonus or something.
So what happens is they start shopping themselves around and they look for a
signing bonus from somewhere. But then that rep perpetually ends up just jumping from
company to company to company and they never build anything from themselves. And so we've
taken a really smart approach. Like I do a call in my in my partnership in my region
at the company called Wealth Wednesdays. And we bring people on talk about crypto, talk
about real estate, talk about branding, talk about tax strategy, talk about all those things
to these these younger kids to give them opportunities to learn how to be smart with
what they do.
But I mean, I think real estate is an amazing one for them to get into at a young age.
That's super cool.
All right.
So they made a hundred thousand, they started investing, and now it's time for year two.
How do you keep them motivated during the quiet times?
They're not knocking on doors in like December in the snow, right? How do you keep them motivated during the quiet times? They're not knocking on doors in like December in the snow, right?
How do you keep them motivated in between?
Yeah, I mean, luckily we have markets nationwide,
like there's no snow on the ground in Miami.
You know, Phoenix, Arizona, Tucson, Vegas, St. George, a lot of Texas.
So there's a lot of markets where they can go knock doors.
They can work 12 months a year.
Year round if they want to.
I prefer like the compartmentalization kind of approach.
A lot of them are students. A lot of them are students.
A lot of them are still going to school for something, whether it's doctor, dentist, lawyer,
they're like really trying to, you know, build something in the future. But I think that
if you if you think about it, you have your four to five month summer where you go knock
doors and then you have if they've done really well, like say they produced, you know, $125
or $150,000
in new customer revenue.
That's kind of our benchmark at the company
for them to come back and be like a manager,
leader, recruiter.
Then they spend September through January recruiting
and building their team, their own team for the next year,
where then they can be the leader of that team.
They get an override stack and, you know,
bonuses for recruiting and running a good team so that
then they get their own income off their own sales plus they can pull in another 150 200 grand from
running a good successful team in their in their org so they spend that next chunk of months
building that team recruiting and building and then they spend January through April or March
training that team and training them and getting them ready.
So it's almost like you have,
like any high competitive sports team you have,
you're in season, like there's not a lot of time
to make a lot of changes once you're in the NBA season.
Like you can maybe make a trade here and there.
The time to rebuild is kind of in the off season.
So then you build your team, you train your team,
you put your team out there and see if you did right. You build your team, you train your team, you put your team out there. You build your team, you train your team you put your team out there and see if you did right you build your team
You train your team you put your team out there you build your team you train your team
You put your team out there
and so I've preferred like the compartmentalization where it kind of builds it into blocks and
Once you get to like the management level where you're you're these
150 plus thousand, you know in a year new customer revenue leaders
You're making enough in the off season
or in that one summer to kind of live off that money.
And then, and that kind of gets you through.
And the way that we, I mean, the way that we pay our,
kind of our back ends and our bonus structures out
is they're kind of getting checks in the off season monthly.
Anyways, there's not this big draw to go
and do a blitz here, be gone for a week,
come back for two weeks, be gone for a week,
come back for two weeks.
I would much rather they build their salespeople.
Tell us a fun story.
Is there anybody that's gone and done like $500,000
in the summer?
So we had, we've had multiple reps that have done
done over a million dollars in new customer revenue.
In one summer?
Yeah, so they, and what they're, so yeah.
I gotta go, I'm gonna start working.
Yeah, let's go knock some doors.
No, so, so yeah, I mean, so there's a few that come to mind but but Aubert so Aubert, Les Brants
Jake West and Ryan Smith were three of our million dollar guys this year
And the crazy thing on that is on our comp scale is you know, because the company makes their money
Year two year three and so
You we want to bank on the fact that we're putting on good accounts and that they stick and that we're our service is there
Where it needs to be and we're we're there
But Ryan Smith for example put on a million over a million dollars in new customer revenue
His commission chunk of that for the first year is 80% commission
So he'll probably have
15 per 10 to 15 percent of those customers cancel so he's gonna make 700 about 700 grand
in a summer
Ryan
Don't don't hate me around if you get this wrong. He's like late 20s early 30s
But yeah, no, he's making
Might actually get Murphy on the doors this summer why not? No No, but I got 700000 reasons you should try it out.
Yeah, right.
No, but I mean, and that's and it took him honestly, it takes those guys.
I mean, Oh, Bear did it in like four, four ish months for like four months
because he is he's in school and and he's, you know, in town or in the U.S.
on a student visa and has to like remember that scene of Wall Street.
He's like, you show me a check for seventy four thousand dollars.
I quit my job right now.
Jonah Hill calls Boston.
Yeah. Yeah.
But I mean, it takes I mean, for those that's it's it's an unheard of industry,
but it's it's difficult like the mental drain that you have out there
and like the solitude you feel like it's,
there's no one out there watching you.
There's no one out there watching the clock.
There's no one there.
You know, did he clock in?
Did he clock out?
Like it's you.
Yeah, no, you really, really do.
You really do.
Like the only person watching you is yourself.
Wow.
Did they ever go on pairs or that's just for training?
Um, yeah.
I mean, I think those are the, those are the Mormon missionaries.
No, but no, no, but uh, um, which there is some overlap. A lot of those in the Mormon missionaries No, but uh
Which there is some overlap a lot of the LDS Mormon missionaries come out and do really really good at this job
But because they've knocked doors for free for two years
but um
No, they we typically put him like a car partnership or a car group and they head out and they park the car and they kind
Of each go their own way and then they kind of meet back up and and things
But I mean we've done stuff with our software to be more sophisticated than most of our other competitors.
So we have actually like pre-scored and pre-qualified
most of the homes across the US based on a look-like model,
based on what customers we've put on that have stuck with us,
based on which ones we've put on that didn't,
and we almost recommend areas in certain homes to sell.
And reps can still sell kind of anything they want,
but the houses have kind of a color coding on them that if you sell this one
it'll most likely retain if you sell this one it most likely won't so
choosing choose wisely and they do make a higher commission on the ones that
that better the higher likelihood of retention too so have a story I never
talked about before so friend of mine Carrie Levine he started a company called
mo pro back in the days and
He came to me and he's like a brother to me like a close friend
He's like I want you to join the board of the company
And he's like yeah
I just raised like nine million dollars and we've got all these different things going on and all these big brands and he had
All these pretty brands and I said no
He's with me. No. I said well, you don't you don't sell anything yet
He said, what do you mean no? I said, well, you don't sell anything yet.
He's like, no, this, this, this.
It was like a lot of amazing deals and he's got,
raised like nine million at the time or so.
And I said, no.
I was like, if you want, I'll build you a sales team.
And if I hit that number, then we'll work it out.
But I need to get to $5 million in one year
to hit the number.
So he was already gonna give me a piece for free.
I decided to create myself a job
just because it was fun and I love him
and he had a great concept which was,
we'll go to your restaurant or your nightclub
or your salon or your whatever business,
clothing store, furniture store, sports card store,
whatever, and we'll build you a website,
all your social media accounts
and a decked out video of your business for five grand,
but you pay over two years.
It's just 200 bucks a month.
And so it's a two year contract, 200 bucks a month.
So me and Jessica, we went and hired 40 reps and we made them wear nurses' outfits and
doctors' outfits.
Nurses for the girls, doctors for the boys. And they would just wear like the,
what's that thing called?
Like the stethoscope.
And we did what's called a digital checkup.
And it was easy.
All I did was train them to look at someone's website
before you walked into their business
and just find three mistakes.
Oh, the address is wrong.
Oh, the website doesn't do this.
Oh, the phone number is wrong.
Oh, when you click on this button, it doesn't work.
Just find three basic mistakes,
which every website had,
because this was many years ago.
This was before Wix.com and those type of things,
Squarespace.
And so I built this team of 40.
We started going to conventions and trade shows,
the lawyer convention, the doctor convention,
where we knew they had money.
And all these girls and boys were wearing doctors
and nurses' outfits.
And people would walk by the booth like, what's going on?
Like, oh, let's give you a digital checkup real quick and we would write six
figures of show and orders because it's $5,000 a pop with no money up front
it's 200 bucks a month so but on the off times on the weekdays I'd make these
reps go to like strip malls and just walk into the stores go to a high rise
and just walk in locations I'm so glad you said malls at the end of that sorry
just just and so all of a sudden they go in and get all these different accounts and
they're just racking up. Pay them a good commission. They're making good money. And I blinked my
eyes and we did five point four million dollars in sales, which is 1100 accounts. Crazy. Like
that in four months. My friend Kerry raises 17 million dollars after that. 70 million
dollars, 70 million dollars more after that,
bada bing, bada boom, he lives in Hawaii,
building a bunch of fancy houses in Hawaii
and has a bunch of kids now.
I say that story because I want to see sales.
That's why I get so excited
to ask you questions about sales.
There's a famous line that Mark Cuban said,
sales cures all.
Yep.
When you bring sales into your business,
it makes your staff excited,
obviously your investors, business partners,
the media, your vendors, your clients,
every single person, the press,
future potential staff you wanna hire,
your competitors, everyone has inertia and energy
because of the fact you got more sales.
And not enough companies have someone that every single day just picks up the phone or
just text messages or emails and social media just to get sales.
Just adding a few accounts a day will literally change the core of your business and everyone involved.
From your household to your office to people that don't know who you are, to people talking about you and rumors about you,
all of it's impacted by you creating sales.
And I see so many people try to pitch me on deals
or pitch me on businesses or pitch me on companies
that don't have sales.
And so if you're listening out there,
if you have a business
or you wanna make some extra money,
get into the sales space.
Because if you don't know what to do,
sell someone else's stuff.
Yep.
Right, a trusted brand like Aptiv,
which has been around for all these years and it doesn't, a zillion dollars in sales, sell someone else's stuff. Yep. Right, a trusted brand like Aptiv, which has been around for all these years,
and it does a bazillion dollars in sales, sell that.
You wanna sell something in the info product space?
Sell it for a household name that you trust in,
a brand that you like, that you learn from, sell for them.
You'd like, I used to sell Cutco knives.
Yep.
Right, I was selling Cutco knives when I was 15 years old.
The best set of knives I own.
I still own them.
Yeah.
They're fantastic.
Anyways, the point of it is,
if you don't know what your next thing is,
or you need to make extra cash,
the sales industry,
whether you're gonna go door to door
for a company like Aftive,
whether you wanna sell something for a brand,
or a product, or service that you trust,
sales cures all.
And you going out there and doing that
will literally generate real cash flow,
and it'll help you learn.
It'll help you figure out what you wanna to do next, but allow you to bring in
cash along the way. Okay. Third topic, charity. Why should people in their business or in
their household have a charity component to their world?
I think it's, to me, it's very grounding. I mean, I didn't come from money either.
Like I'm one of six kids.
My dad worked as a, owned his own plumbing company.
And then, you know, that wasn't working as well as he would have liked it to work.
And so we worked as a, got a job as a foreman and, you know, worked our way up through like
a plumbing company and stuff.
But being a plumber making, you know, a six figure income with six kids in California,
even back in the 90s, didn't really go very far and things.
And so we grew up, if I wanted to play baseball, I had to sell chocolates door to door.
If I wanted to go to scout camp and I had to sell pancake breakfast tickets.
And so I didn't really, if I wanted a pair of shoes and a backpack for the next year,
that wasn't the hand-me-down ones for my older brothers, I had to go out there and drum up money and things.
And so for me, I think that everybody has, whether it was a longer period of time in
their lives or a smaller period of time in lives or at least the fear of not having,
everyone can relate to that.
And I think that it's important to give back. And yes,
donate with your dollars, but more than that, give with your time and your energy. And if you
don't have dollars to donate, you don't have to donate with your dollars. You can give, honestly,
as simple as a smile or a hug or going to a shelter and serving up meals. at charity. I honestly think that charity is as good for businesses
and for the economy as sales is like charity also cures all. If you're in a bad mood or
you're dealing with your own sorrow and your own grief, go serve somewhere, go give. And
like it is so like, it's funny, like, cause I throw an elf costume on for, I wear this
more than I wear my normal clothes from Thanksgiving to Christmas every single year.
And, and putting this on, like, I can't be like an angry elf.
Like, you know, like I put this on and like, I have to smile.
But what I've realized is that.
Like this really, this elf thing is really just an outward expression of, of
a feeling that I feel inside that the world needs more love,
needs more smiles, needs more goodness, needs more grace, needs more empathy, needs more
forgiveness.
Like I want people to feel that through me.
And yes, sometimes that is with dollars.
Sometimes that's with, you know, a plate of cookies to your neighbor's house.
Sometimes it was with donating some old clothes you don't use anymore.
But the two years too long thing that you do. I think that, I mean, honestly, I think that to give is to live. Like if I'm not giving,
I don't feel alive.
Buddy the Elf, where can people find you across social media?
Yeah, so at the great elbow is kind of my primary one.
Okay, wait, you gotta explain that. What is the great elbow?
So at the great elbow is my kind of my primary one. Okay, wait, you gotta explain that.
What is the great elbow?
So yeah, so it's a nickname or as I was told, I had an elbow on my face a lot of years ago
and I didn't let it really bother me.
And then kind of my circle of friends was like, hey, elbow this, elbow that, the elbow
that and and so yeah, so instead of letting somebody, you know, make fun of my big side profile
and those that I eventually grew into, now it became the great elbow.
And back when I started my Instagram account, it was when it was made for just, you know,
hey, my friends and family are going to see my pictures.
And that was it.
And then, you know, fast forward to me getting, you know, selling sneakers to NBA players
and like a few shout outs from, from some, some big influences on my birthdays and stuff
that kind of have amassed a little bit of a following.
And like, I mean, one of my one of my buddies on the jazz, like he knows my name is Kyle,
but he calls me elbow.
Like, like, so like, if I was to change at this point, right, it's I don't want to get
lost in the, you know, in the ether with that.
And so I'm kind of stuck with the great elbow on that one for at least the foreseeable future.
Got it.
So yeah, my nose is that.
And I think Mark Birbiglia has like a comedy bit from like back in the early 2000s about
a nose on his face and stuff too.
So elbow on his face.
But then and then also the NBA elf is kind of what I'm leaning into around the charity
side and I won't it won't just be like I'm active on it during the Christmas months.
I'm going to be pumping content into that throughout the rest of the year as well so those are my two and
then obviously LinkedIn Twitter all that kind of stuff awesome they can check you
out Utah Jazz or where else so I mean I honestly I want to hit up a lot of I
mean I'll any sports arena anywhere so if anyone has any type of event or arena
based thing or just some sort of charity event that they want an elf to show up
to that's awesome I'm happy to be here while running a big ass company. Yes. Okay. As you guys know, the Money Mondays, it's very important
