Blue Collar Experts is a podcast hosted by Todd Wall and Gustavo Tapia. We examine the connection that turns a business into an expert. In a crowded marketplace, intentional actions and communication are the keys to helping a business stand out and be the one that is chosen by the consumer. In Blue Collar Experts we examine the connection that turns a business into an expert. We use the principle of “if it is true there, then it is true here”, to find what is working in different contexts and apply it to your business.

Oregon's Top Car Salesman W/ Justin Thayer
Aug 10, 202200:32:22Tap to summarizeI started Selling Cars in 1999 to get out of the dangerous Foundry work I was doing. I worked at several dealerships until April of 2005 when I got my real estate broker's license. I discovered the experience I had gained in marketing myself as a Realtor and owning a property servicing company gave me a huge edge. Today I'm one of if not the most successful Automotive Salesperson in Oregon. About 70% of my business is self generated from social medial and networking. This is unheard of in the car business as most salespeople rely mostly on the advertising of the dealership. A Salesperson with 20% of their sales being self generated is considered outstanding. To have 70% while selling 15 to 30 cars per month consistently was really unheard of locally until I started doing it.Connect with Justin on:Facebook: www.facebook.com/Justin.Thayer.777

Honest Floor Care W/ Kraig Salinas
Aug 3, 202200:36:01Tap to summarizeKraig Salinas owner of Night Owl Floor Services, Inc since 1992. After seeing many single operator floor guys not treating customers fairly or providing unsatisfactory work, I saw that I could bring straight forward honest floor care with ""true"" customer service. We have become known for being a reliable, honest, quality and friendly company to have come into their buildings. As I grew, I instilled those traits in my staff. Having a niche business really sets us apart from the competition. Keeping a positive culture in our business shows to our customers that out team is trusted to be in their buildings after hours as most of our work is done after hours, hence the name Night Owl. Now that we have formed the concrete division Concrete Protective Solutions, we are going to bring those same attributes to an entirely new customer base.

Best Barbershop In The Mission W/ Victor Ruffrage
Jun 22, 202200:26:47Tap to summarize"To begin, am not a Barber. So why a Barbershop? One, for the appreciation of the barbershop feel and two, out of frustration. After having countless of bad experiences, I decided to recreate a place just as I remember growing up. Good service, professionalism and of course add value to the neighborhood". To Victor, a Barbershop is all about community. It's about building generational bonds and lasting memories. A place where its not just about a haircut but more about a feeling of belonging.
