概要

 Heavy Hitters - Ep. 2What if the biggest barrier to sustainable growth in heavy equipment isn't market conditions, tariffs, or competition, but ignoring the 10–20% of customers who drive 80%+ of your business? Too many organizations spread resources thin across the long tail of low-value accounts, while top performers quietly capture disproportionate share through focused, data-backed plans.In this episode of Heavy Hitters, Jay Lucas sits down with Nick Mavrick, CEO and Founder of BiltData. Nick shares his journey from Intel to startup roles at Nations Rent and Volvo Rents/Construction Equipment, to launching BiltData, a provider of predictive buyer intelligence for OEMs, dealers, and rental companies. Drawing from decades in the trenches, Nick explains how the Pareto Principle (80/20 rule) applies intensely in heavy equipment, why gut instinct often kills profitability, and how de-risking revenue through name-by-name targeting creates resilience in cycles.With honest stories, contrarian insights, and real client examples, they explore misaligned incentives, the dangers of reactive strategies like forced rentals, capital allocation that supports the field, and why listening, including to silence and inaction, is the hardest leadership lesson. The conversation ties back to faith, gratitude, service, and building cultures where work becomes worship.Key TakeawaysWhy a small percentage of customers drive the majority of revenueHow gut instinct and tradition undermine profitabilityThe law of small numbers and its impact on focus and executionWhy most companies overspend to support unprofitable customersHow misaligned incentives quietly sabotage performanceThe difference between transactional data and actionable customer insightWhy technology fails without clear strategy and accountabilityThe role of listening, including what isn’t being said, in leadershipHow focus strengthens culture, retention, and long-term growthIn This Episode:[00:00] Introduction to Heavy Hitters[00:40] Meet Nick Mavrick: CEO and founder of BiltData[02:10] A prayer for guidance[03:22] The importance of gratitude in business[04:14] Challenges of self-employment[05:17] Contrarian Marketing: Insights from Nick's book[07:05] Understanding customer concentration[14:37] Aligning marketing and sales strategies[17:13] The role of data in business success[21:39] Case study: Learning from a big brand dealer[30:39] The importance of strategic planning[31:53] Unlocking potential through incentives[32:21] Trust and creative problem solving[33:04] Transforming sales with data insights[37:54] Skepticism to belief in data[44:13] Private equity and market dynamics[50:54] Supporting veterans through charity[58:24] Faith and business: A reflectionNotable Quotes[07:30] “At Nation's Rent and at Volvo Rents, 3% of the customers did 62% of the business.” — Nick Mavrick[13:07] “So it's the 17% that accounts for 77% of the outcomes.” — Nick Mavrick[39:49] “It's disrespectful to hire an employee and not give them the tools to succeed.” — Nick MavrickOur GuestNick Mavrick is the CEO and founder of BiltData and a veteran of the heavy equipment industry with decades of experience across private equity-backed organizations, Fortune 500 companies, and entrepreneurial ventures.
