Seven Hills Electric has seen a few economic meltdowns. This is a family owned business with master networkers. In this episode, Greg and Kyle Harvey connect the dots for us – we can see how networking in the right way led to their most recent successes.
Debra Willis of PPG Solutions, and Karen Larsen of HR TABS, and I have the chance to see this crazy world through the eyes of a third generation family business that survives every jolt the economy delivers.
Takeaways:
1. Seven Hills knows how to pivot. After ’08 downturn:
a. Went from a commercial firm to residential and light industrial.
b. Refocused on new territory from Charlottesville to Richmond area in Virginia.
2. This family business makes decisions as a group and goes with consensus.
3. The Harveys put high value on relationships:
a. They work at building strategic partnerships.
b. Every customer request is handled by the owners, then on the day of service, the owners start deliver instructions to the service teams onsite.
