Who is Blue Collar Connect?

 Founded by industry insiders and passionate blue-collar entrepreneurs like Joe Mikitish, Blue Collar Connect (BCC) serves as a highly selective networking and growth accelerator tailored specifically for serious home services and trade business owners. It's far more than a typical networking group—it's designed to function as a true "personal board of directors," where members receive ongoing guidance, honest feedback, and strategic support to build stronger, more profitable companies, providing the best service and outcomes to the community.

Members connect regularly through a structured schedule of in-person monthly meetings, weekly lunches, quarterly social events, annual retreats, and continuous online collaboration. These gatherings foster deep education, peer accountability, and practical collaboration on real-world challenges. With strong roots in Boise and active chapters expanding to areas like Salt Lake City, Phoenix and San Antonio, BCC delivers actionable tools for sustainable business growth via its exclusive Do Work University platform. This comprehensive online resource provides nearly 90 hours of high-quality training covering essential topics such as marketing strategies, sales techniques, operational processes, profitability optimization, team building, and even business acquisitions.

Membership is intentionally rigorous and exclusive to maintain the highest standards: Prospective members face thorough vetting, including background checks, detailed reference verifications, and confirmation of proper licensure and insurance coverage. Groups are capped at just 45 members total, with only one dedicated seat per industry category, which eliminates direct competition and promotes genuine, non-competitive collaboration among the very best in each field. This careful curation ensures that BCC truly represents the elite—the most ethical, high-performing, and customer-focused companies dedicated to delivering outstanding quality and genuine consumer satisfaction every single time.

Choosing a BCC member like Summit Epoxy Floors means you're working with a provider who's not just skilled, but accountable to a network of peers. Here's why that makes a difference:

Quality Assurance: Every member must meet strict standards for business ethics, customer service, and professionalism. We're held to proven practices that prioritize your satisfaction, from clear communication to timely, high-quality results.

Exclusivity and Expertise: With only one company per industry per group (and a cap that keeps the network elite), BCC ensures you're getting top-tier pros. Out of thousands of companies in the Treasure Valley, only a select few qualify—focusing on those serious about growth and excellence.

Full-Service Collaboration: BCC members work together on projects, referring trusted partners for complementary services. Need a roofer or deck builder alongside your garage epoxy floor? We can connect you seamlessly, saving you time and ensuring coordinated, efficient outcomes.

United Network: We know each other's capabilities, personalities, and standards intimately. This makes us a reliable resource for all your home needs—whether it's our hybrid epoxy installations or recommendations for other vetted pros.

Real Accountability: Through regular meetings, service reviews, and customer feedback, members hold one another to the highest standards. If issues arise, the group enforces resolutions, with potential membership revocation for failures—giving you confidence in fair treatment and superior service every time.

 At Summit Epoxy Floors, our membership in BCC isn't just a badge—it's a strategic commitment that directly enhances how we serve you, our valued Treasure Valley customers. By aligning with this elite network, we gain access to a full ecosystem of trusted partners across complementary home services, like roofing, painting, plumbing, electrical, deck building, and more. This means when your project requires coordination—such as prepping a garage floor alongside other renovations—we can seamlessly connect you with vetted pros who share our standards, ensuring a smoother, more efficient experience without the hassle of vetting multiple contractors yourself.

Beyond partnerships, BCC provides a built-in group of peers who hold us accountable for every aspect of quality and service. Through regular meetings, shared reviews, and honest feedback, we're constantly challenged to uphold ethical practices, timely delivery, and exceptional customer communication. If something falls short, the network steps in to enforce resolutions, fostering a culture of continuous improvement that keeps Summit at the top of our game.

Additionally, BCC equips us with a dedicated team of coaches and resources to refine our offerings and operations. From advanced training in marketing and processes to insights on profitability and team building, this support helps us innovate our hybrid epoxy installations, warranty programs, and custom options—making them even more tailored, reliable, and customer-focused.

Ultimately, these elements combine to deliver improved service through faster, more coordinated projects; better customer experiences with transparent, high-touch interactions; controlled costs by optimizing efficiencies and avoiding common pitfalls; and enhanced business viability for long-term stability. With BCC behind us, Summit Epoxy Floors is positioned to thrive and continue providing lifetime-protected, stunning garage transformations for years to come—giving you confidence in a partner built for endurance.
