Today we’d like to introduce you to Andrea Burnett.
Hi Andrea, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
The Power House Couple, Our Story
How We Started: George remembers. After eight years of employment with a major pest control company, PH started in 2002, when my then employer gave us a 30-day notice that they were going out of business. Imagine how I felt going home to my wife and two small children to deliver this crushing news. Sitting at my desk considering what to do to feed and take care of my family, I noticed the certification from the Georgia Pest Control Commission. It states that I, George Burnett “is duly certified as a Structural Pest Control Operator….” Therefore, I was authorized to treat residential and commercial accounts for termite and pest control services. Our first PH customers were former clients from the previous employer, 20 who are still faithful today. God used the previous employer to provide us the experience, the truck and equipment necessary to do business. Over 20 Years, Family-Owned. Power House Strong!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
There has always been a struggle, challenges and obstacles to overcome, face and endure as we LEARNED how to run a profitable business.
First of all, being married to your business partner creates interesting dynamics to say the least. However, with God at the center of our relationship, we have managed to stay in our roles and lanes of genius as we live, work, play and pray together.
After 15 years, we hired our first employees that helped us navigate our first government contract. Learning to speak Governese required a lot of patience and growth.
For 20 years, we grew slowly organically by word of mouth and Google search. Therefore, we had no official marketing or advertisement to help us transition into the new space of Social Media. Not having a Social Media presence has been an uphill battle to gain traction during and after COVID.
Hiring and managing our team continues to be difficult. Attracting high-performing talent has hindered the rate of our growth. We could pursue many other opportunities in the commercial and corporate space, however, we have not maintained the team to meet the capacity.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Power House Termite and Pest Control, Inc.?
