Podcast 354: How To Recruit A-Players For Your Roofing Business with Paul Sannenman

Your A-players are everything! They are one factor that can have the biggest impact on your business success. Many contractors make the mistake of keeping sub-par employees around with the excuse that there aren’t good workers out there–but there are! They are working for someone else, so you have to go find them! Efforts to recruit, train, and retain A-players should always be happening in your business. Join us to learn more in today’s show!

I’m joined by Paul Sannenman, the founder of Dream Business Coaching. He is a construction business coach who has coached over 400 companies in the last 30 years. He helps clients make more money in less time–and have more FUN. With his refined expertise, Paul shares with us his knowledge of the ins and outs of successful recruiting to bring in A-players.
