John Tobin

John Tobin joined BDR in 2009, bringing over 25 years of customer service experience and a decade of sales and advisory expertise—a perfect match for his upbeat personality and passion for helping others achieve their goals.

He began as a Training Direct Marketer, raising awareness of BDR’s classes among contractors and distribution teams while streamlining signups. Under his leadership, course attendance grew by 15–20% annually.

Recognized for his exceptional communication and industry knowledge, John transitioned to the role of Profit Coach Advisor, where he specialized in guiding small contractors (initially with 2–10 employees and under $1.5 million in annual revenue, later expanding to teams of <13 and revenues under $4 million). Over the years, he’s partnered with multigenerational businesses, cherishing stories of how “My grandpa sold wood, coal, or oil back in the day.”

Now a seasoned Profit Coach Advisor, John specializes in small businesses with <13 employees and Emerging Business Academy participants, crafting tailored growth programs by listening deeply to each client’s unique story. He understands business owners’ limited time and simplifies BDR’s tools to help them drive growth—and even reclaim weekends.

Inspired by countless client journeys, John is committed to delivering customized solutions that unlock freedom and success.

“If you’ve ever considered coaching, training, or workshops, I’d love to hear your vision. Let’s talk—I’ll make the time.”
