The Story

Built From Real Experience,
Not a Boardroom

Mike Vidan is an American entrepreneur, service business operator, and Co-Founder of QuoteIQ, a leading CRM for home service businesses used by over 40,000 contractors. With more than 25 years of experience, he is known for building, scaling, and systematizing service companies using practical, real-world processes that generate consistent revenue..

He began his career in 1997 in sales, marketing, and operations with Fortune 50 companies, where he developed a foundation in high-performance systems and business execution. While working in corporate America, Mike simultaneously built multiple service businesses, developing systems and processes that allowed him to operate and scale them without compromising his performance in a corporate environment. He wasn’t stepping away from one to build the other — he was doing both, using structured systems to manage time, operations, and growth across each.

"I didn't learn this stuff in a classroom. I learned it running crews, chasing invoices, and figuring out what actually works when you're in it."

That experience led him to fully transition into entrepreneurship, where he built multiple seven-figure service businesses in lawn care and pressure washing — industries defined by tight margins, local competition, and operational efficiency. Rather than relying on theory, Mike built his approach through direct experience in the field — managing crews, handling customer relationships, pricing jobs, and solving the day-to-day challenges that service business owners face.

His philosophy is centered around building systems that reduce owner dependency, implementing accurate pricing from the start, hiring and training reliable teams, and eliminating operational bottlenecks that prevent businesses from scaling. Drawing from his disciplined foundation at The Citadel, his experience inside high-performance corporate organizations, and his entrepreneurial mindset built in the field, Mike combined the strengths of all three to create the foundation behind QuoteIQ.

Partnering with Justin Rogers brought together two operators with real-world experience, aligned on a shared vision to build a platform that reflects how service businesses actually run without relying on multiple disconnected tools.

Mike Vidan is a graduate of The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina, and a published author. He is based in Savannah, Georgia, where he continues to operate businesses, develop systems, and build software focused on improving how home service companies run and grow.

What Is QuoteIQ?

Watch Mike introduce the platform he co-founded — built from scratch for home service contractors who need one app to quote, schedule, invoice, manage crews, and grow their business.

What Mike Believes

The Principles
That Drive Everything

01
Systems beat hustle every time

Hard work is table stakes. What separates businesses that scale from those that plateau is repeatable, documented systems that produce consistent results without the owner in every decision.

02
Bootstrapped means honest

QuoteIQ has never taken outside investment — by design. When you answer to users instead of investors, you build what people actually need. No feature bloat. No quarterly pressure to chase the wrong metrics.

03
Teach what you've actually done

Everything Mike teaches comes from personal experience running service companies — not courses, certifications, or theory. If it hasn't been tested in the real world, it doesn't make the curriculum.

04
The field is the classroom

The home service industry produces some of the most resilient, self-made entrepreneurs in the country. Mike's mission is to give those people the tools, software, and knowledge to build businesses that last.

05
Do what works, not what looks good

Mike’s marketing approach has never been about playing it safe — it’s about getting results. By using direct-response and unconventional strategies, he’s helped thousands of contractors generate leads, build visibility, and grow without massive ad budgets. Most businesses focus on what looks professional. Mike focuses on what produces revenue. That mindset is what built his service companies and helped scale QuoteIQ into one of the fastest-growing platforms in the home service industry.

The contractors who win aren't the ones who work the hardest. They're the ones who build the best systems and have the discipline to follow them.
