While many drain cleaning specialists or plumbers will concede they're better craftspeople and technicians than they are business people, Alex Sibilla of Salt Lake City-based Stallion Plumbing and Drains is not one of them. In putting employees and customers first, Sibilla knew that profits would follow, and that sentiment is ringing true for more than a handful of plumber services companies doing business in the Salt Lake City area as 2024 kicks off.
"I learned a long time ago that you have to invest heavily in employees and treat them well all the time - not just at Christmas," explains Sibilla. "Through events we made them a part of, our employees feel like they're not just workers, but are part of family...and that there's more to working at Stallion than just the job. It also brings their own families closer to the company, and that's something we're very proud of."

Sibilla and other SLC area plumbing repair specialists point to several different strategies that have contributed to their companies' growth, starting with the primary notion of putting employees and customers ahead of profits. A professional approach and appearance has also proven critical, leading these Salt Lake City businesses to invest in technician uniforms and newer vehicles with attractive vinyl wraps, as just one such example.
"At so many seminars we've attended, all the talk is about profits, profits, profits - but, the way we see it, customers and employees must be put first, because if they're not, people see right through that," adds Sibilla. "No one wants to work for someone that's only interested in padding their own pockets, thus, if you put employees and customers first, the profits will indeed follow. We always adhere to the notion that if you stop chasing money, money will start to chase you."
On the subject of professional appearance, representatives from SLC plumbing companies agree that people want to see what they're paying for, and as such, when uniformed technicians show up in newer vehicles, customers tend to feel confident that they're going to receive a high level of service matching that professional appearance.
Additional keys to success Sibilla and other Utah-based plumbing business owners are planning on implementing in 2024 include pitching in on job sites, expressing to customers that no situation is "beneath" an owner or site manager. According to Sibilla, this helps develop rapport with both customers and employees, and lets them get to know an owner's true personality. As he explains it: "The biggest complaint I heard while doing some business coaching was that bosses aren't approachable - I'd estimate that 80-percent of the problems companies experience begin with owners who have no clue about what's happening out in the field, and they're definitely poorer for that."
Looking ahead, Salt Lake City-based plumbing business owners say they will keep striving to be market leaders and take an aggressive stance on investments in new productivity- and profitability-enhancing technology.
