About this episode
The episode discusses the importance of focusing on high-margin jobs instead of taking every lead to improve profitability for contractors.
Stop booking every "whimsical" spring lead that breathes on your phone. Most contractors are terrified that if they don't say yes to everything, the work will dry up. That’s a lie that keeps you broke. In this episode, Tim and Derek break down why you need to sell unafraid and wait for the high-margin jobs that actually move the needle. Stop being a "handyman" and start being a business owner who values his time and his crew’s skill. If you’re ready to stop the grind and start stacking cash, it’s time to change how you view your schedule. ================================= Ready to stop the grind?
