43 - John Fisher: Store Cleaner to Business Owner

John is a Co-Director of Trevors Carpets Willetton and shares the realities of running a busy flooring business. He discusses the pressures of day to day operations, leading a team, solving constant challenges and why creating a fun, family oriented workplace helps in a high stress environment. John also explains why he believes relationship based selling delivers the best results, how he competes against national flooring chains and why follow ups and high pressure sales tactics aren't always the best way to win customers. He also reflects on his unique career journey, from cleaning stores at Target and working as a storeman and laboratory technician, to building surfboards, selling door to door and being a sales manager, before eventually becoming a business owner. 🎧Spotify – YouTube – Apple https://www.highpl.com.au/podcast⁠ Trevors Carpets Willetton https://trevorswilletton.com.au High Performance Leaders Whether you're building a stronger team, developing leaders, or navigating a critical period — we’ve got you covered. 1:1 Leadership Coaching Team Workshops & Custom Training Operational Leadership Support Development for Leaders at All Levels If you're ready to lift performance, culture, and accountability. 👉 Contact Daniel: https://www.highpl.com.au/ #Leadership #SmallBusiness #BusinessOwner #SalesTips #CustomerService #FlooringIndustry #CompanyCulture #BusinessPodcast #relationshipselling #buildingrelationships
