Tom Reber – The Contractor Fight founder helps contractors run a profitable company and create a strong brand and thriving company.  He flipped the start of the interview around and started asking Chris how was able to scale a handyman business, then we settled in and talked about how to sell home services in the home. We talked about “Strategery” of building a business, through brand, consistency and execution. Did you know our amazing voices can go beyond just the microphone? Yes, we have video!

Chris Lalomia is a successful entrepreneur and change leader that has built on his experience working with the largest companies in America to start his own business from scratch.  He brings his unique style to leadership to build a culture of professionalism to the blue-collar world of home renovations.  He left the corporate zoo and ventured into the entrepreneurial wild and started The Trusted Toolbox: Home Repair and Projects in 2008.  YES, he started a business right before the Great Recession, so timing the market is not his strength.  He survived through that time and has grown his business into a multimillion-dollar handyman and remodeling company which has won numerous awards in Atlanta, GA.
