Episode 32 - How COVID Changed Our Industry

It’s been over 6 months since the COVID outbreak altered our economy and our entire society.  No matter where you are in the country, in some way shape, or form, COVID has affected you and changed the way you live life. 

Contractors have been forced to adapt their thinking, change what they are doing, and look at their businesses in a new light if they expect to thrive in this post-pandemic world. 

In this episode, our host, John Dye, shares a special personal op-ed about his view on how the industry has changed over the last 6 months.

Episode 24 - Work On It - Not In It

Building a business is not easy work, in fact, it takes some very strategic decisions, done in the correct order, to be successful enough to build a functioning business.

No one knows this better than Jim Johnson, the Head Coach of Contractor Coach Pro.  He knows it so well that he is about to release a brand new book called Work On It, Not In It!   

We’re excited to be able to help announce this book and talk about the journey he has been on to make this book not only a reality but something our industry desperately needs!

Episode 23 - Choosing Customers YOU Want to Work With

Most contractors take all of the work that comes to them, agnostically taking people's money, doing jobs that are great, and others that are not so great…

Did you know that elite contractors and businesses actually pick who they want to work with, and set up processes in their business to qualify that a customer is really a good fit for them! 

Becca Switzer from Roof Sales Mastery and Matthew Danskin from Restoration Referral System join us today to discuss how you can start to set these processes up in your business.
