Excerpts:
"His boss tried to talk him out of it, but Green quit his job, refinanced his house, maxed out his credit cards, named his business MN8 (as in “emanateâ€), and headed to the giant FDIC firefighting trade show in 2011. He did $85,000 in sales in a month."
"He has hired a dozen full-time employees, established a board, raised a round of venture financing, leased an 8,000-square-foot warehouse in Cincinnati, and engaged a salesforce of nearly 200 firefighters. Ultimately, he envisions 1,500 sales reps, all from the firefighters’ brotherhood."
"He compares the business model, which enables firefighters to earn a side income after investing $125 in a sales kit and demo tools, to an Avon or an Amway “without the multilevel-marketing bull—it’s just direct sales.†So far, his products have reached 55,000 firefighters in 25 countries, generating over $1 million in revenues, he says. He sees the future of the business in industrial safety, lighting large workplaces and sports arenas—Nassau Coliseum in New York is already a customer."
