From $700k Purgatory to $3m: A Mosquito Joe Update | Neil Finneran Interview

Synopsis

Neil Finneran returns to describe growing a Mosquito Joe franchise from under $700,000 of revenue to more than $3 million across five territories in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Organic growth took the business to about $1.2 million, while the larger jump came from acquiring a neighboring territory with little cash because it stayed inside the franchise system. The episode covers no-show staffing problems, Christmas lights as an add-on, rising customer acquisition costs, and the risks of buying very small businesses.
