Hidden Gems: Meet Tommy Mello of A1 Garage Doors

Today we’d like to introduce you to Tommy Mello.

Hi Tommy, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Like many other business owners out there, I didn’t grow up with a silver spoon. I know what it means to work your ass off to get what you want. I ventured into different jobs when I was a kid from bussing tables and being a lifeguard, to trying to flip cars, until I finally started my garage door business.

The truth is that growing up hearing my parents talking through bill issues is what motivated me to remove money from the equation, so I could spend quality time with friends and family without having to worry about it.

It took hard work to build a $100M business with over 400 employees. But what matters at that end is that we all have to start somewhere.

Being through all that gave me the motivation to help other business owners succeed just like I did. That’s why I’ve written the Home Service Millionaire book (and I am writing the second book now about leadership), I’ve launched the biggest podcast in the contracting space – Home Service Expert Podcast, and I share all of my secrets online.

As you know, we’re big fans of A1 Garage Doors. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
A1 Garage Doors is one of the biggest garage doors companies in Noth America. We’re incredibly proud of the service we provide. What makes us different is that:

1 – We offer careers instead of jobs. That’s why the most talented people come to work for us.
2 – We have very solid systems to deliver an outstanding service over and over again.

For us is very important to set people up for success. That’s why we offer performance pay, so people who deliver results are well compensated. That’s why we have an onboarding process where new employees get all the training they need to go out there and crush it.

And that’s why we treat people like family, so we care about their personal goals and align those with their professional goals too.

What does success mean to you?
Success for me = growth. I love working with people who want to take things to the next level. So for me, success is all about pushing yourself to achieve new heights all the time.
