Margins, Markups & The Golden Pricing Ratio: How Jonathan Started Pricing For Profit

As a builder, it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day chaos of your business. Before you know it, you're clocking 50-70+ hours a week and the business consumes your entire life.
That was the reality Ken faced when he enrolled in The Professional Builder. Listing down the tasks he was doing by himself, he found out he was working for 70+ hours each week.
But just 4 months in, he got an initial 40 hours per week of admin tasks off his plate. Plus he hired a site manager who "kicked him off-site", which freed him up even more time to focus on marketing, sales, and systems improvement.
Today on The Builders Ladder Podcast, Vinnie and Ken discuss how Ken achieved these results. Tune in to discover:
The power of testimonials in growing your construction company (06:06)
• How TPB helps builders get unstuck (08:16)
• How increased confidence can help your business grow (10:23)
• The essential tools and strategies to buy back your time (14:31)
• The importance of peer learning and collaboration in your business (15:08)
