In business, knowing when to say “no” is just as important as when to say “yes.” Over the past 35 years, Darryl Subloo has refined the art of disciplined decision-making — not chasing every opportunity, but selecting the right ones, executing with precision, and walking away from deals that don’t stack up.
While others race for volume, Darryl focuses on value.
He’s turned down contracts that looked profitable on paper but failed under scrutiny. He’s pulled out of international supply deals where the risk outweighed the reward. And he’s walked away from partnerships that lacked alignment or transparency — no matter how attractive the upside appeared.
This discipline isn’t guesswork. It’s built on:
- Decades of pricing scrap metal and industrial assets accurately
- Understanding international freight and customs risks
- Knowing when a supplier is posturing versus when they’re serious
- Reading silence, hesitation, or over-promises as red flags
Darryl doesn’t operate on emotion. He works from numbers, contracts, and tested instincts. That’s why his business record is steady: fewer blow-ups, fewer regrets, and more profitable deals per year than most operators chasing scale.
To run a lean business, you have to make fast, confident decisions — not just about what you do, but what you don’t. And that’s where Darryl’s experience becomes hard to match.
In short: saying “no” at the right time is what’s kept the business alive and thriving for over three decades. And very few talk about that part of the job.
