Every construction project starts with a contract—but not all contracts are created equal. If you overlook critical details or skip negotiation, you could face unexpected liabilities, payment delays, and disputes that stall progress. Poor contract management can lead to financial setbacks, strained relationships, and missed opportunities for future projects.

So, how can you identify risks before signing?

What strategies help you negotiate fair terms?
And how can you protect your interests while keeping projects on track?

My guest today is Megan Shapiro. She is a Risk Management Strategist, Construction Attorney & Founder of Construction Contract Coach. After litigating construction disputes for nearly 15 years, Megan is now taking everything she's learned and teaching construction leaders how to Do It Like A Lawyer. 

Through her workshops and coaching programs, Megan offers actionable strategies for negotiation, persuasion, contract review, and strategic communication. Drawing on her years of representing subcontractors, owners, GCs, and everything in between, she empowers construction leaders to win more projects, eliminate claims, and maximize profits—all while reducing risk and helping leaders adopt a lawyer’s mindset to succeed in business.

Hiring and onboarding a sales team can either make your business or break it. If you don't have a solid hiring process in place, you'll end up guessing who’s right for the job instead of making an informed choice and hoping they’ll figure it out on their own. 

But wrong hires or weak onboarding cost money because it leads to high turnover, frustrated salespeople, and lost sales. You need a clear process to find the right talent, get them up to speed with your business, and keep them motivated with fair, effective compensation.

So, how do you build a strong sales team? 

Which onboarding methods actually work? 

And how do you create compensation plans that drive results without hurting your profits?

My guest today is Aleasha Bahr. She is a sales strategist, speaker, best-selling author, and founder of the Black Sheep Sales Method™.

Her methods empower business owners to effortlessly convert up to 80% of their leads without pressure, pitching or pretending to be someone else. Aleasha’s signature Black Sheep Sales Method is based on 15+ years of sales experience, tens of millions of dollars in services personally sold herself and sold by service providers she’s supported. She has been featured on Rocky Mountain Marketing Podcast, Sales Game Changers, Business Innovators Radio, and Outside Sales Talk.

Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is a powerful method to improve your sales communication skills. If your sales team isn't closing as many deals as you'd like, the problem might not be the product or service—it could be how effectively the salesperson communicates. 

Misunderstanding the customer’s needs, speaking at the wrong pace, or failing to connect can lead to missed opportunities. Ineffective communication can also create friction with your team, suppliers, and clients. 

So, what exactly is NLP, and how can it help you communicate better and boost your sales? And what steps should you take to start using it to transform your business?

In this episode, I talk with Nikki Rausch about how Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) can transform your sales strategy. She explains how NLP helps improve communication and close more deals, offering practical tips to integrate it into your sales approach.

Nikki Rausch is a sales maven, sales coach, best-selling author, and podcast host. She integrates her 25+ years of experience selling to such prestigious organizations as The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Hewlett-Packard, and NASA, sharing with her clients the same approaches that led to her shattering sales records in her industry and receiving multiple “top producer” awards along the way. A business degree from the University of Washington and her master's certification in Neuro-Linguistic Programming mesh perfectly to create a powerful foundation upon which Nikki built tremendous sales skills and now provides enormous benefits for her clients.

What common pricing mistakes should you avoid? 

And how do you make sure that your pricing strategy keeps you competitive in the long run?

After more than a decade as a corporate fixer, joining Fortune 100 leadership teams to capture additional value on multibillion-dollar ventures, he now serves as an interim executive and board member for private companies
