In their own
words.

We could tell you the system works. It’s better coming from the owners running it. Real shops, real numbers, real relief — here’s what changed once the guessing stopped.


The year before Grand Onyx was the hardest we’d ever had. 2025 became the best year in our company’s history.

$50K revived

“I’ve learned so much about my sales team using your process ‘Managing the Red.’ This is addictive — I’ve already revived a $50,000 quote with a contractor in the first couple hours.”

Andres

Owner · Legacy Countertops

Best quarter ever

“Quarter 1 of 2026 was our best sales in history — and we’ve been open for over a decade.”

Brandon

Owner · Legacy Marble & Granite

Three record months

“So far January, February and March are record months.

Jordan

Sales Manager

Team game-changer

“The Grand Onyx System has been a game-changer for our team. It’s removed so many barriers to internal communication while still protecting everyone’s personal lives. The balance between accessibility and privacy is spot-on.”

TJ

Modern Countertops

Slow season, record month

“January is usually our slow season, but this year has been record-breaking. We’ve seen increased walk-in traffic and hit our daily deposit goals three days in a row — something we don’t even see consistently in summer, our busiest time of year.”

Jordan

Sales Manager

Worth a million words

“The Rock Report has been incredibly helpful — I’m a visual person, and as a designer, seeing everything laid out is worth a million words.

Haley Newton

Owner · Harkey Tile & Stone

75% close rate

“We’ve only been working with Grand Onyx for a couple months and already our close rate has skyrocketed to 75%.

Jerry

Owner · Canaan Stone Works

Best year in history

“The year before Grand Onyx was the hardest we’d ever had. 2025 became the best year in our company’s history. The difference was working with Grand Onyx.”

Kevin Gray

40 leads in month one

“In the first month after launch, the new website generated 40 form submissions — roughly the same number we received over three years on our old site. The results speak for themselves.”

Andrew Daulton

Marketing Manager · Upstate Granite Solutions

Slammed in 8 weeks

“We were 100% commercial until a customer left us $250,000 short. We tried Grand Onyx and focused on retail. After just 8 weeks we’re hitting our goals and the shop is slammed — installers went from half days to 12-hour days. I’m getting help from a competitor because we have so much work.”

Mark Kotenkoff

Kotenkoff Granite

10,000 sq. ft. showroom

“Ten months ago we did almost no retail. Now we’re adding a second salesperson, hiring an estimator, and building a 10,000 sq. ft. showroom.

TJ Henderson

Modern Countertops

Booked 6 months out

“We’re telling people six months out on retail jobs. How do we change our retail appointments to ‘by appointment only’?”

Tom Barlow

CountertopSource

Production can’t keep up

“We need to slow down our sales growth the next few weeks because production can’t keep up. The work Grand Onyx has done, combined with Synchronous Flow, is game-changing.”

Tom Barlow

CountertopSource

Immediately effective

“I’m really jazzed on what Grand Onyx is doing for us — it’s been nearly immediately and absolutely effective. This is some Kool-Aid I like drinking. I’m so excited about the future with you.”

TJ Henderson

Modern Countertops

Reps can’t keep up

“At our sales meeting this morning, one of my best reps was almost in tears because he can’t keep up with all the new work coming in.”

Mike Langenderfer

The Countertop Shop

People in every picture

“I’ve shown the website to quite a few people in the company, and every one of them loves it. The first thing they notice is ‘wow, there’s people in every picture.’ It has a big impact.”

Brandon Frank

Head of Marketing & Sales · Blasius

125% over goal

“We just broke our March retail sales goal by 125%.

Amanda Krajacic

Onslow TJ Stoneworks

130 quotes in a week

“We had 21 walk-in customers in five hours on Saturday. We need to slow down — we can’t throw 60 more jobs into the system at once. We had 130 retail quotes last week.”

Mike Langenderfer

The Countertop Shop

Doubling the industry

“Nobody gets these kinds of close rates without Grand Onyx. Their clients are doubling what the rest of the industry is doing.”

Rick Phelps

Synchronous Solutions

Quality leads, easy closes

“What I’m learning is it’s about quality leads, then getting the proper people and system to close them. With what we’re doing with you guys, it’s so easy compared to what we had.”

TJ Henderson

Modern Countertops

Worth building right

“I really see the value in building this way — your systems versus anything else. You told me it would be hard because we’re from wholesale, but at this point it’s not hard.

TJ Henderson

Modern Countertops

Concierge follows up

“I don’t like managing anything, so for me it’s great — I get an email from your Countertop Concierge and there’s a lot of quality work done, somebody caring about following up. So far it’s been really good.”

TJ Henderson

Modern Countertops

Record Jan & Feb

“Sales were down last year just like everyone else — but in 2025, both January and February set new monthly company records.

Kevin Gray

Owner · 5280 Stone

Trending up

“We’re seeing the trend go up. We took a hit on wholesale this year, but when I look at the data, things are going the right way — which is up.

TJ Henderson

Modern Countertops

Stay out of the way

“I appreciate your know-how to do this. It reinforces to me to just stay out of the way.

TJ Henderson

Modern Countertops

Quoted leads up 45%

“Our leads are up — quoted leads are up 45%. We’re hitting our weekly goal by Tuesday.”

Alex Stiffler

Down East Granite

New facility coming

“We’re still in a culture shift, but we’re hitting goals week over week. We’re building a new facility and considering buying another machine.”

Alex Stiffler

Down East Granite

$142K in a month

“Justin ended at $142K last month — he’s crushing everyone, even the reps with builder accounts. Emma and Danelle have now asked for the same coaching I gave Justin.”

Alex Stiffler

Down East Granite

Texting moves deals

“Justin started texting customers in the last week and a half and now loves it. He’s getting answers and moving deals forward.”

Alex Stiffler

Down East Granite

Time wins the sale

“Justin takes more time with customers than they do — maybe that’s the difference in his close rate. Half an hour isn’t enough for a retail client; it’s a $4–6K sale.”
