Mike Wynn on Sales Growth and Showing Up for Customers

In this episode of the Kanawha Valley Hustlers podcast, I run into Mike Wynn from Greens during First Tuesdays at Short Story. Most people know the name Green’s Feed and Seed, but Mike explains that Greens has grown into much more, including Ace Hardware, power equipment, and full contractor support through partnerships like Thomas Do It Center. They’ve expanded their services to include building materials, roofing, windows, and more, all under the Greens Group umbrella. Mike started in landscaping and now focuses on outside sales, visiting customers directly to help with whatever they need on-site. He tells me about their new Green’s Supply Depot in Parkersburg, located in the old Kmart, offering everything from hardware to firearms. Other locations include Big Chimney and Ripley, which will soon become another Greens Ace Hardware. When I ask about sales advice, Mike keeps it simple—show up, network, and meet people. I agree. It’s not called net-sitting or net-standing—it’s networking.
