Listen Later

In this episode of the Professional Builders Secrets podcast, our host, Bosco Anthony is joined by Co-founders of the Association of Professional Builders Russ Stephens and Sky Stephens, along with APB’s Head Coach, Andy Skarda. Throughout this episode, the trio reveal the secrets behind managing client expectations as a builder.


Builders often believe they are delivering a superior experience to their clients, while in most cases, the client does not agree. Professional builders will listen to their clients and communicate the important milestones throughout the build process, while average builders will avoid communication altogether. In order to produce clients that will become raving fans, you need to start by managing and then exceeding your clients’ expectations.


During episode seven of the Professional Builders Secrets podcast, Russ, Sky and Andy reveal everything you need to know about setting client expectations including the best time to start, what you need to do to keep your clients happy and how to build relationships and set boundaries.


Tune into the full episode to hear the APB trio uncover the best strategies for builders when it comes to setting client expectations.
