Ep 07: From Commodity to Luxury - How One Flooring Dealer Built a $10M Brand With Page Nazarian

Today, Jerry Levinson sits down with Page Nazarian to talk shop on what it looks like to specialize in hardwood while most dealers are selling carpet, LVP, laminate, and tile. They get into the real differences in selling each category—from the measuring and seams in carpet to the perceived simplicity (and hidden complexity) of hardwood flooring, especially when you’re dealing with grading, variation, finishes, and manufacturing.  Page shares how he navigates clients choosing between “real” wood and synthetic options, how designers influence product decisions, and how factors like home style, ceiling height, and traffic play into what actually gets specified. They also dig into running a designer-driven business, landing large custom jobs, and what it takes to position yourself differently in a market where most products—and most competitors—look the same. https://www.famehardwood.com/ [https://www.famehardwood.com/] https://www.instagram.com/famehardwoodfloors/ [https://www.instagram.com/famehardwoodfloors/] https://www.facebook.com/FameHardwood/ [https://voyagela.com/interview/meet-page-nazarian-fame-hardwood-floors-west-hollywood/?utm_source=chatgpt.com] -- Ready to grow your Flooring Business and skyrocket your profits?

Jerry Levinson sits down with Chad Thomas, founder of ProjectsForce, and gets into what it actually looks like to run a modern flooring business today.

They also get into improving close rates with faster follow-up, keeping margins tight, tracking your numbers, and how this all applies even if you expand beyond flooring into other trades.

Ep 04: Become 5 Mile Famous – How to Stand Out in a Crowded Market With Dan Antonelli

In this episode, Jerry sits down with branding expert Dan to explore why most flooring companies struggle to stand out in crowded markets. They discuss the concept of becoming “5 Mile Famous,” where your brand is instantly recognizable in your local community and attracts the right customers before they even begin shopping. Dan explains how strong branding, clear messaging, and consistent visuals help businesses stop blending in and start marketing to the right people—the customers who value quality and are ready to buy. The conversation also covers common branding mistakes, why many logos and websites fail to convert, and how a clear brand identity can lower marketing costs while increasing trust and sales. -- Connect with Dan  https://www.kickcharge.com/our-team/dan-antonelli https://www.instagram.com/kickchargecreative https://www.instagram.com/danantonelli_kickcharge Dan's Book: Branded Not Blanded: KickCharge™ Your Home Service Brand [https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0BC7751ZC?ccs_id=81463f39-08d2-4f27-90eb-0f64d7cc2bb2] -- Ready to grow your Flooring Business and skyrocket your profits?
