You may think that once you get to the million mark, all your sales issues will go away...and that things are about to get easier...but that's not exactly true.

Tyler Robertson, Chief Executive Officer at Diesel Laptops was stuck at the $20M mark. Most of us might think that's a good problem to have...but he was stuck.

During the explosion of growth where Tyler took his company to $20M, he had zero focus on systems, processes, or culture. He had never even done a strategic plan in his life!

This led to a HUGE revelation...HE was the problem. The bottleneck.

Are YOU the bottleneck in your business?

In this episode, we’re talked to Tyler about how he got UNSTUCK and out of his own way...

We’ discussed:
- How he bootstrapped his business from startup to $62M in sales
- How to avoid sales plateaus (even if you’re in the millions!)
- Why inviting an outside expert might just be the best thing...

If you’re looking to build a sustainable business while evolving into the leaders your business needs, listen to this!

Episode 116: The way we buy and sell heavy-duty parts has been rapidly evolving, and the things that are driving these changes are expected to intensify over the next decade. If heavy-duty parts distributors and repair shops want to not only survive, but thrive, they need to quickly adapt, or risk being put out of business in the next 10-years.

In this episode, we discuss what the independent service channel must do to make the transition to a digital sales channel, and how consolidation, demographics, and technology are major challenges but also is an opportunity for those that are willing to make changes to the way they do business.

Our guest is Tyler Robertson who is the Founder and CEO at Diesel Laptops. Tyler has developed the industry-leading apps Diesel Parts and Diesel Repair and he is working to take a big bite out of the $34bn in heavy-duty parts sales over the next few years so he is the person we need to talk to about how the independent service channel will survive the next 10-years.

Episode 103: Identifying heavy-duty truck and trailer parts is not easy. Supplying parts for work trucks and trailers that are built to different specifications depending on the vocation of the first owner makes it complicated. For decades you either called the dealer with your VIN or you relied on an experienced aftermarket parts technician. 

There must be an easier way!

Tyler Robertson is the CEO of Diesel Laptops, a repair efficiency company that sells diagnostic tools, software, and industry-specific apps. Diesel Parts is the application we are going to talk about today.
