Expert on Fire: Ian Batra

In today’s episode of “Expert on Fire,” I’m excited to catch up with Ian Batra, an amazing team leader who has led his team through the challenges of last year to a place of massive success in 2021. Obviously, the pandemic shook things up for all of us in 2020, but nevertheless,  Ian, his wife Laura, and their team rounded out the year with more than $20 million in sales. We’re only a few months into the new year, but they’ve already doubled what they did all of last year—as of the night before this video was recorded, they had $41 million in sales volume! Today we’ll hear what tools, procedures, and systems they’ve used to amass such great success even in the face of adversity.
