EPISODE Notes

Too many builders stay stuck on the tools, unable to step back from their building business to grow it with tools like social media.

And when they do manage to grow, they’re often left putting out fires on multiple sites and dealing with team dramas.

David Baker, founder of Rapid QS, joins us to share his practical approach to building an A+ team, market expansion, and content creation — including the mindset shifts that helped him stop being a slave to his business.

Listen to discover:

✔ Insights on scaling a business rapidly while maintaining quality through strategic hiring, content creation, and market expansion

✔ Specific instructions to use in job ads to quickly identify detail-oriented candidates and instantly bin those who don’t meet your standards

✔ The “Omnipresence Strategy” that has potential clients seeing you everywhere (without burning out or living on social media)

✔ The real reason why successful builders treat their business like a sports team instead of a family

✔ A profitable marketing opportunity most builders are missing (one builder used this to generate 150 leads in one weekend, with a 30% close rate, and $2.25M in potential revenue)

✔ Plus More

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.
