There's a MASSIVE Shift Happening in The Garage Doors Industry Right Now…

If hiring solid techs worries you, trust me, 2026 will be tougher. Smart techs know what they’re worth, and even new guys know what other shops are paying. If you’re still offering average pay or just an hourly rate, you’re already behind. You risk losing top candidates, and you risk losing your best techs to better offers.

That’s why you gotta figure out performance pay. It lets techs earn more without you raising the hourly rate. When they sell more, they earn more. Win-win.

At A1, our best techs close over $1M a year. Performance pay helps you grow faster by motivating your top guys and pushing your average techs to step it up, without you hovering over them all day.

In my audiobook, I break down exactly how we implemented our performance pay system back when A1 was still a small shop.

Here’s Exactly What’s Inside The “Million-Dollar Techs” Audiobook

  • The key difference between commission and performance pay (a lot of owners get this wrong)
  • Why your customers are HAPPIER when techs upsell (proof: tens of thousands of 5-star reviews)
  • The No. 1 fix to make before you run another ad (ignore this and you risk losing most of your leads)
  • The sneaky-but-legal tactic to get hundreds, if not thousands, of people check out your ad (without paying a cent!)
  • The two-step process that helped us get more leads from our GBP than ever before
  • And more!

When most people hear the words “Million-Dollar Techs” they think it's BS, but listen…

Sales can be a WIN-WIN for you and your customer.

We have tens of thousands of 5-star reviews across 40+ markets, and the garage door guys we’ve coached are seeing real growth too. Cody Johnson, runs a garage door shop like you, and his profit skyrocketed from $500k to $3.5M in just one year.

Now, I’ll show you how your techs can convert more leads into big-ticket jobs and beat their sales records while still keeping customers happy… all in ONE audiobook.

We built a $300M business, 800+ employees in 40+ markets…

​And more importantly, we've been where you are. I went from $50K in debt, working in the truck, late nights, broken relationships… to building A1 Garage Door Service into a multi-million dollar operation.

Let me tell you this: when your techs fight for every single sale… when they can close and upsell without you babysitting them… everything else gets easier.

Now, I can take vacations with my family whenever I want...

...go golfing with my dad on a Tuesday morning… or cruise around in my childhood dream car that I finally got: a DeLorean from Back to the Future!

Yes, I still work hard, but nothing beats the feeling of knowing that I have the freedom to do what I want whenever I want.

You can enjoy this kind of freedom too.
