We recently did an e-Interview with Jim Buttjer. He is the President of Mosaic Home Solutions. Here is the Q&A below.
1. What do you do? 2 sentences max
Mosaic Home Solutions is a full-service solution provider combining custom homebuilding, audio/video and security systems, home and office remodeling, maintenance, and repair. From top to bottom, inside and out, we make caring for your home and business easier by combining a consultative approach with skilled trades and technology tailored for your needs.
2. Who are your competitors? (just the names)
We have many competitors in individual service offerings, but with our solution-based business model bringing multiple service offerings together, we haven’t found anyone else that competes with us on this level.
3. What makes you different than your competitors?
We take a whole-home, consultative approach to meeting our clients’ needs. Many competitors focus on which products they can sell instead of listening to the client and creating a solution to satisfy the need, then helping the client choose which products they prefer based on features, functions, sustainability, resale value, and cost.
4. What are you or your ceo’s biggest challenges?
Because our business model is so different, we are working diligently to develop and deliver the message of our brand and its value to the marketplace. The great thing is, once clients and suppliers and investors hear the message, they love it and embrace it.
5. Which marketing tactic/strategy has produced the most leads/revenue for your company? E.G. A PR Campaign, Please be specific as our users want to know how to grow their own business.
In our first year, referral networking has brought in the most revenue by a small margin, complemented by online advertising.
6. How long have you been in business?
We were officially registered with the state of Illinois on Jan. 5, 2009.
7. How many employees do you have?
We have grown the Mosaic team to over 10 employees in our first year of business.
8. What are your revenue estimates for 2009? Is that an increase from 2008?
As we are a privately held company, I can only say that our estimated revenues will be in excess of $1 million in our second year of business. Part of our competitive advantage is the diversity of our solutions and services and how they complement each other in building revenue streams – that possible competitors would find surprising.
9. (Optional) Have you had any new press recently? E.G. Announced a partnership, a new big customer, etc.
After a recent acquisition which expanded our solution portfolio, we are incorporating that element into our brand and revising our marketing and PR plans. Announcements will be coming soon.
