What does Kyle Nielsen's company do?
We're currently the fifth largest residential pest control company in the nation. Wow. So we're in 80 plus markets nationwide. And we just recently went through a transaction and brought in a private equity partner. Between our corporate, our Salesforce, and our day-to-day remote office employees, we've got, I'd say, about 5,000.
And I see a lot of like 22 year old, 27 year old, 24 year olds. And a lot of them are talking about making like 100K, 200K, 300K, 100K in a summer. Is that true?
We've had multiple reps that have done, done over a million dollars in new customer revenue. In one summer? Yeah. So they, yeah. I gotta go. I'm going to start working. Yeah. Let's go knock some doors.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Christmas and Hanukkah special edition of the Money Mondays. Right now, we are inside of an RV motorhome parked outside of our toy drive doing 10 cities in 16 days for the world's largest toy drive. You guys can visit largesttoydrive.com. But when this episode comes out, sadly, the toy drives are complete and all of my flights and all my miles are completed. but why did i say it's extra special because sitting right next to me is literally buddy the elf yes some people call him kyle yeah yes he built up a huge sales team and a huge company and massive business blah blah blah blah we'll get to that but first it's christmas week we gotta talk to buddy the elf so what we're gonna do here on the money mondays as you know we cover three core topics how to make money and invest money how to give it away to charity
But it's really important for you guys that are listening to keep talking about money with your friends, family, and followers. We all grew up thinking it's rude to talk about money. I think it's ridiculous that we don't talk about it because we go to high school or go to college and we go out there into the world and we don't know about taxes. or how to deal with a bank account or balance a budget or like deal with a checkbook what is a checkbook should we take a loan should we get i don't know should we rent should we lease should we buy we don't know these things because no one's allowed to talk about it well the reason the podcast has been in the top 10 for 95 out of our 101 weeks when you listen to this episode is because of you because you guys are liking commenting subscribing and sharing it's very very important to us so
Without further ado, I'm going to bring it over to Kyle, known as Buddy the Elf, to give us a quick two-minute bio, and we can get straight to the money.
No. No, I dress up like this during the holiday season. Quick version of that is that it started at a toy drive almost 12, yeah, about 12, 13 years ago. When did the movie come out? It's 20 years old now. I think they have their 20th anniversary. Fact check me, whatever. But if I get it wrong in the comments, call me out. But yeah, it's about 20 years old now. And so about 12 years ago, I threw the elf costume on, wore it to a toy drive sub for Santa for my company. and uh the next year my employees were like are you gonna wear it again what's going on with that so i rented the costume again threw it on and when we were in the checkout line at target one of the target checkers was like you were here last year buying toys for all these families and we talked about how the elf just was so happy and so i was like a whole year later i was like this made a difference and then so i kind of just started wearing it to the toy toy drives charity events and then i threw it on in an nba arena
and it went viral when Rudy Gobert stole my hat, put it on Donovan Mitchell's head after the game instead of pouring water on him, and then I was like, well, let's just keep the ripple effect growing bigger. When I'm not elfin' around, I kill bugs. I'm in the pest control industry, and I run sales teams for Door-to-Door Pest Control, and we're currently the fifth largest residential pest control company in the nation. And we just recently went through a transaction and brought in a private equity partner. Explain what that means. Yeah. So we see I'm going on my 18th year now in the pest control.
