Contractors ask me all the time if I were to start another roofing business what would be the #1 thing I would do. I always tell them the same thing. I would start with a written business plan. Without a written plan you can’t have the clarity of where you want to take your business and how you’re going to get there.
That’s why I wrote the 1 Page Business Plan. You can download it for free from my website and fill in the PDF. This will give you a professional business plan in just a couple of hours that you can review with your team to be sure everyone is headed in the same direction---a better business and bigger profits!

My salespeople had a favorite “Whine”—"Homeowners only care about the price and we’re too expensive.” When in fact, survey after survey tells us that price is rarely the main reason why homeowners select a particular contractor. In today’s interview, I discuss the sales process you need to get your price, with expert John DeRosa.

The recession is coming! The recession is coming! That’s what you hear on the news every night. Manufacturing is down, property values down, and retail stores filing bankruptcy.
But construction is booming, we can’t find people to do the work because unemployment is low, and the stock market is at record highs.
Recession? What recession? What’s going on?
It’s been over 10 years since the last recession and most of our listeners weren’t even in business then. All they know is business is great and it’s going to last forever!
But the party is coming to an end. It’s just that nobody knows when.
What have you done to prepare your business to not only survive but position yourself to thrive during a downturn in the economy?
Today I’m going to give you 10 simple tips to recession-proof your business and also take advantage of the opportunities when the economy comes back.
