In this brief monologue, Mike Andes explains the personal catalyst behind his dedication to Pay for Performance (P4P). He recounts a severe workplace accident—being trapped under a dump truck—that exposed the lack of systematic processes in his business. In response, he implemented P4P as the first corrective measure. He claims that this change transformed his company from an unprofitable operation to one that generated over $280,000 in owner distributions the following year, all while reducing field staff. The experience motivated him to write a book, offer free training, and develop software to promote P4P adoption across other businesses.

A lot of people wonder why I'm so passionate about pay for performance or P4P and why I created it, why I wrote the book, why we have all the free training, why I created the software. It saved my business. And after I had the workplace accident and got caught underneath a dump truck because I didn't have systems in my business, it was the first thing that I implemented. And the next year I went from being unprofitable to making over $280,000 in owner's distributions from the same business with less employees out in the field. And that's why I'm so passionate about making sure that this fundamental system of P4P is implemented in every business.
