Partner Success Story: Envision Painting & Roofing

How Has Accelerent Helped Your Business

Accelerent has helped us build meaningful relationships with other partners and expand our network well beyond the people we might otherwise have met. Through those relationships, we’ve been introduced to new companies, new opportunities, and new markets. The value has come not only from direct referrals, but also from the connections that develop when partners truly understand one another’s businesses and look for ways to help.

How Much Business Have You Given During Your Time with Accelerent?

During our four years with Accelerent, we’ve made a number of referrals, introductions, and connections for other partners. We don’t track the exact dollar value of those referrals because we don’t always know what they ultimately turn into, but we’ve made a consistent effort to engage with the membership, understand what other partners do, and connect them with people who may need their services.

How Much Business Have You Received During Your Time with Accelerent?

We’ve been very happy with our Accelerent membership. Between opportunities from Accelerent partners and opportunities that have come through guests introduced by other partners, we estimate that we’ve received approximately $300,000 to $400,000 in business across our painting and roofing services. One of the most significant relationships began with a guest to an Accelerent breakfast. That connection developed into substantial work with a tenant improvement company and helped take the painting side of our business national, with projects extending from Florida and North Carolina to Michigan, Washington, California, Texas, and beyond.

What Advice Do You Have for New or Prospective Accelerent Partners?

Make the most of the opportunities to connect when you first join. There will be many partners who are genuinely interested in learning about you and your business. Take the time to meet people and have those one-on-one conversations, whether in person or over Zoom. Build those relationships so people know you, remember you, and understand how to refer you to their clients, customers, and connections. At the same time, learn about them so you can reciprocate. It’s a tremendous opportunity to raise the level of everyone’s business through those relationships.

Any Final Thoughts?

We’re always a phone call or an email away. Whether someone needs painting, roofing, or simply some direction toward another service provider, we want to help. That’s part of the process. When you’re willing to help people and point them in the right direction, those relationships have an opportunity to flourish for everyone.
