Your calendar's full. Your crew is slammed. But your margins? Barely breathing.

You’ll learn:
What it looks like when a job “breaks the business”
Why fear-based selling leads to bad-fit projects

How the Performance Margin software flags broken bids before they go out
A 10-job audit challenge to help you cut out profit-draining work
