Greg Antonioli Podcast

Our special guest for this Remodel Buddy Podcast is :

Greg Antonioli, Owner of “Out of the Woods Construction”

Greg Antonioli founded Out of the Woods Construction & Cabinetry Inc. in 1992. With $2.2 million in revenues in 2008, Out of the Woods is a design/build firm that does strictly residential remodeling, historically in the Boston suburbs and increasingly in the city. The company has 13 employees (eight in the field, five in the office), practices open-book management, and enjoys a company-wide bonus program.Greg is a long-time Roundtable member, vice president of a NARI chapter, and a Sandler Sales trainee. He is also an avid reader of business books & periodicals, a regular magazine contributor, and (some have said) a twisted thinker. Greg believes that his company’s #1 obligation is to its construction clients. He believes that company time and resources spent on sales is time that should be spent serving construction clients, therefore sales and design efforts must be very efficient. One of every three of the prospects with whom Greg meets becomes a design client, and 100% of those design clients convert to construction clients. Greg is a native of California’s Silicon Valley area and a graduate of Santa Clara University. He and his wife have three daughters and live in Acton, Mass.

We talk about how he started out, grew his business and “open book management.” He mentioned the movie “Fargo” & I mentioned the “Money Pit,” but otherwise it was all business.
