EPISODE Notes

One of the biggest needle movers for construction companies and custom home builders that want to scale is mastering a proven sales process.

Tune in today to hear how successful residential builders are implementing sales systems into their businesses – with profit-boosting results.

You’ll hear the story of Ben, a custom home builder from Victoria, who installed a professional quoting and sales process into his construction business and dramatically improved his income and profit margins – going from under 20% to 25% gross.

You’ll also discover:

✅ The power of showing vs telling when dealing with prospects – and how this can add tremendous value to your construction proposals

✅ Specific ways you can justify charging for quotes as a builder, without losing clients

✅ Practical tools like lookbooks, questionnaires, and project schedules that position your building business as premium

✅ How to hold sales meetings with potential clients that convert at 70 to 80% (instead of the typical 20–30%)

About Your Hosts

Too many building company owners work long hours for very little profit, aren’t able to spend time with their families, and are stressed to the limit.

This is not your fault.

You can be the best builder in the world but trade school doesn’t teach you how to run a business.

This is why we created The Professional Builder.

Gaining control over your business doesn’t need to be hard.

Our proven systems have been used by 5,000+ builders from New Zealand, Australia, USA, UK, Canada, and all around the world to get back their freedom.
