Sam Rankin and his team at ETCH Outdoor are building an incredible company, and today we're getting a behind-the-scenes tour of their operation. They've recently acquired another company and are almost complete with the merger, pushing them north of $4m in revenue in 2023!
It was great meeting their entire crew at their Friday team meeting, where they grilled burgers and hotdogs, gave out awards, and had a spring kick-off rally. Sam has an incredible team, doing whatever it takes to get the job done, especially with their rapid growth!
Thank you again to Sam for giving us a tour. We wish you guys all the best this upcoming spring and summer!
Don't forget to give Sam and his team a follow at @ EtchOutdoor on Instagram and TikTok.
Thank you to the tour sponsors for an incredible spring shop tour season! We couldn't be more grateful for their support. Check out this year's sponsors below!

Thanks for the tour Sam! If you guys want to leave an encouraging word for Sam and his team, I’m sure they would appreciate it!

Etch does a great job on our yearly weed applications. They transformed our yard from a weedy nightmare to lush grass in about a year and it looks amazing. Keep up the great work!

I can appreciate the managerial mantras he rattled off, but there has to be a balance. Giving the guys energy drinks for $1 makes sense, but in the same breath he pointed at a $40,000 truck he admitted they don’t even use. I’m just saying it goes both ways. He is obviously a smart guy, so kudos to him. Just don’t optimize so much that you lose touch with the business. Your employees and equipment are more than just a number on a spreadsheet. Cheers, brother.

Not sure which truck we don’t use, but looking at the shop this morning there’s one truck left in here. Everything goes out everyday!

Man look into jade enterprises here in Berea Kentucky, they have to be running a million dollar business and the guy that owns it has basically transferred all authority down to his 22 year old son, it’s really neat to see! I see their trucks and crews everywhere.

Depending on the place doing lot sweeping and stripping is a great thing. Having a reputable company do it would sell me rather than a guy doing it in a beat up truck. Especially when your trucks look great.

Thanks Brian and Sam. Sam's emphasis on how important his people are to him is likely to be a major factor in his rapid success. Does Etch pressure wash commercial sidewalks?

@BriansLawnMaintenance Жыл бұрын

Amen! And not sure on the pressure washing!

@SAM-RANKIN Жыл бұрын

We do in the spring as part of our full suite of commercial services. We will sweep, wash, and repaint the stripes in the spring!

If he's doing 4 mil a year what percentage does he take home ?

@thegumpfiles778 7 ай бұрын

My greatest issues with these videos isn't the success of the people , but the shift in thinking that success is just getting behind a computer screen , answering the phone and becoming administration for a 3-4 or 5 million a year Agro business . If that's what the end game is , then I am happy with where i am and my $217 a year . Great videos though and great shops .

Bro charges his workers for waters ?!? Makes 3 million dollars and charges for a bottle of water

@BriansLawnMaintenance 3 ай бұрын

Dude makes 5-10% and provides his team water at cost, pay attention. How much water do you give away to your team and how’s your $3m business going? If you don’t have one, then shut it.
