Roofer Show

Today I interview best selling author and expert contractor business coach Vicki Suiter about her latest book The Profit Bleed. We pinpoint the reasons that contractors are not making the money they should and how they can fix the holes in their businesses to make more profit.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

How to deliver a good elevator pitch
The benefits of a Mastermind group, for clarity, ideas, and camaraderie
Vicki’s elevator pitch: what she does, who she serves, and what action she wants them to take
“Are you going for the door, or are you asking to hear more?”

Example of a client who reduced prices in an effort to sell more
Increased volume means increased overhead and will equal breakdown
What are your true labor costs?
What infrastructure changes are required to support higher volume?
Taking an eagle eye view of your business
What to focus on to improve efficiency and profitability
Learn to manage from the top down rather than the bottom up
Pulse points covered in Vicki’s book:
- Pricing
- Handoff process
- Sales and marketing
- Sales and close rate percentage goals
