I considered closing my business

"I was considering closing my business but I approached The Successful Builder about business coaching and decided to give it a try. We created systems to improve site performance and estimate better. We also built a whole sales approach that would position our company as the preferred builder for our target market. Now, we have four employees and more than 12 months of great jobs booked."

Personal Goals Becoming a Reality

The work kept trickling in but my business was not growing, despite working long hours. Enlisting a business coach really turned things around. My business has grown and I am now off the tools. We are a team of 7 and I now focus on working with clients, running team leaders and growing the business. We are finally making a steady income and our personal goals are starting to become a reality.”

Learned to sell professionally and confidently

“I was ready to throw the business in and go back to working for someone else … I have learned how to sell professionally and confidently with integrity. The sales process, scripts and collateral that we developed work, and I go into sales meetings with a clear plan and purpose, feeling totally confident in the outcome.”
