About this episode

Tom Reber discusses how contractors can improve their sales margins and close rates.

You’re out there busting your ass 60 hours a week, but your bank account is a joke because you’re selling at margins that wouldn't keep a lightbulb on. Most contractors close 30% of their leads; you need to be hitting 80% plus, or you’re just a glorified volunteer. In this episode, I’m breaking down the three moments where you’re losing control—the gate, the meeting, and the silence—and announcing the only "sales gym" built specifically for the trades. ============================================================ For over a decade, contractors have asked us the same question. Do you have a sales-only training program? The answer was always no. Until now. https://thecontractorfight.com/command ============================================================ == Rate the Podcast == Help your fellow contractors find the podcast!
