Who should not join
Who should not join FloorIt?
Last updated · FloorIt
You should not join FloorIt if you need the business to pay your bills right away, if you can't call leads back within minutes, or if you want money without doing the work. We would rather say this now than sign you up and watch you struggle. Here is the honest list, and what we ask of everyone who does join.
If you need the money next month
Your business takes about 14 days to build after we get your onboarding form. Your leads start once you pass the course quizzes and are ready to take estimates. Then each lead needs an estimate and follow-up before any job pays you.
If a slow first month would put your rent at risk, wait until you have savings set aside.
If you can't answer your phone fast
After your first 50 leads, you call your own new leads, and the first few minutes matter most. A homeowner who waits hours often books someone else.
If your day job keeps your phone in a locker all day, solve that first.
If you won't do the training
The course comes before your leads, and the weekly class is where questions get answered. People who want to skip to the money usually skip the part that makes the money.
If you want a business without work
- You run estimates in people's homes
- You, or someone you hire, does the floor
- You keep your lead list up to date
- You ask every happy customer for a review and a referral
If your area can't support it
Some places don't have enough owner-occupied homes with wood floors. We look at your area before the call. If the numbers don't work, we tell you, even if you still want to join.
What we ask of everyone who joins
- Take the training, and come to the weekly class or watch the recording
- Show up to every estimate on time, or move it a day ahead
- Follow up with new leads fast, and keep following up
- Log what happened with every lead, the same day if you can
- Carry insurance and any license your area needs
- Answer our messages within a couple of business days

- Weekend side hustle: Can a floor recoat business be a side hustle? A job takes about 3 hours, so two jobs a week is about 8 to 10 hours. How weekends work, and the hard parts.
- Your first 30 days: What happens after you sign with FloorIt, day by day: payment check, kickoff call, the 14-day build, delivery call, equipment, training and launch.
