Midwest-Masters/ Spoiler Dude

United States Army veteran Paul Hasty had already been successfully installing window tints, car bras, and spoilers in the Pikes Peak Region for almost fourteen years before reaching out to the Pikes Peak SBDC. Just call him the Spoiler Dude of Spoilerdude.com. With a strong love for cars, Paul decided to open up his business with the challenges of educating customers. Paul differentiates Spoilerdude.com by anticipating customers’ wishes and questions with answers prior to work. “Our customer service is the best, and we have the ability to give our customers more than they pay for, and infinitely more than they ask for.”

Paul counts his blessings and is thankful for being in business for so many years while contributing to the community. However, with higher goals in mind and a desire to expand his business, Paul reached out to the SBDC and quickly became acquainted with Veterans Business Consultant Ron O’Herron. “I remember when Paul came up to me as I was having coffee in our café. Paul has always been cooperative, eager to learn, receptive to suggestions, and in turn, has implemented those suggestions. Paul set goals last year and hit 120% of his target revenues and is expanding this year to commercial and residential clients.”

Spoilerdude.com intends to continue with its tremendous growth by not only adding commercial and residential aspects to the business, but also by increasing online sales through E-commerce. “With the help of Ron O’Herron we have been able to attract our ideal customers, increase our revenue, hire more team members, and streamline our operation.” Paul hopes that his continued success will impact the community further by offering better job opportunities to local residents.
