Today I interview best selling author and expert contractor business coach Vicki Suiter about her latest book The Profit Bleed. We pinpoint the reasons that contractors are not making the money they should and how they can fix the holes in their businesses to make more profit.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• “Are you going for the door, or are you asking to hear more?”
• Example of a client who reduced prices in an effort to sell more
• Increased volume means increased overhead and will equal breakdown
• What are your true labor costs?
• What infrastructure changes are required to support higher volume?
• Taking an eagle eye view of your business
