This one’s for the builders. Brendan Quinlan started knocking doors nearly two decades ago, before iPads, before online training, before it was “cool.” He spent 13 years actively knocking, built his first team from the ground up in Florida, and got laughed out of every pest control office in Canada when he tried to bring D2D to his home country. Fast forward to today, and Brendan leads over 500 reps, operates in multiple Canadian cities, and just launched a new international team in Melbourne, Australia. His company now owns both the marketing and fulfillment side, making them the largest residential pest control provider in Canada, all launched in just a few short years. Oh, and now they’re training reps to knock year-round by flipping seasons between hemispheres.
💡 Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
✅ How to break into new markets when everyone says it’s impossible
✅ The mindset that carried Brendan through years of failure
✅ A timeless principle that keeps top reps in the game
✅ How to create year-round opportunity in a seasonal industry
✅ What it really takes to scale from 3 reps to 500+
🚪 Why This Matters
Brendan’s path wasn’t built on hype. It was built on grit, leadership, and a refusal to quit. If you’re in the trenches now wondering if it’s worth it, this episode will light the fire. Whether you're in your rookie year or scaling a team, Brendan drops wisdom that every rep needs to hear.
