John Anglis broke into the home improvement business in a call center at the ripe age of 17. Eventually, he convinced his boss to let him run his own leads, and with a 50% close rate - there was no turning back.

John started his own business, CareFree Home Pros, in Connecticut in 2000. For over 10 years, he ran his business as many do - on a hamster wheel. He went through a revolving door of salespeople and struggled, year after year, to push much further than $1.2 million in revenue. Finally, in 2015, John began implements systems and processes into his business. Because of this, he was able to semi-retire in 2016 and move to Florida in 2021 where he ran his Connecticut-based business in just a half day per week. The growth continued, and his business surpassed $10 million dollars in 2022. The financial success of the business combined with John’s systematic approach positioned him to be able to successfully sell the business in 2023. John now shares what he has learned with contractors throughout the country.
