Rebuilding Your Sales Team: The Blueprint for Restoration Business Growth

Why investing in sales training and coaching is the most powerful growth strategy in today’s evolving restoration landscape

By Kayla McGowan
October 10, 2025

On this episode of Ask The Expert, we’re joined by Gregg Taylor, Chairman and Managing CEO of Restoration Partners. We discuss why rebuilding your sales team is the ultimate hack for a successful blueprint to growth in the restoration industry. Gregg has extensive background in acquisitions, consulting and the restoration industry. We discussed the importance of leveling up your sales team to help drive growth for your business. 

Topics of discussion include:

  • The critical need for comprehensive sales training and ongoing coaching in the restoration industry, which historically has lagged behind in developing its sales professionals.
  • The challenges restoration companies faced in recruiting, training, and retaining top sales talent. This inspired him to launch a specialized sales training and coaching division.
  • The Transformative 4-Week Sales Training Program Gregg's 4-week training program goes far beyond traditional bootcamps, providing hands-on instruction, role-playing, and daily accountability to equip sales reps with the skills and discipline needed to drive consistent results.
  • 50% more sales come from reps who receive ongoing coaching and management support post-training, keeping them accountable and providing real-time feedback to maximize their performance.
  • Empowering Companies to Thrive Amid Industry Consolidation As private equity investment and acquisitions continue to reshape the restoration industry, Gregg explains how a sales-focused strategy — from the front desk to project managers — is key for companies to not just survive but grow their market share.
