Professional Builders Secrets: How Custom Home Builders Can Sign More Contracts at Higher Margins While Delivering a Better Client Experience
Are serious about systemizing your building company?

Maybe you’re keen to get started, but you don’t have the tools you need right now. And maybe you’re a little overwhelmed by all the strategies and tactics you’ve been told are necessary to implement into your business. However, there is no need for you to try to figure out everything yourself, on your own.

At the Association of Professional Builders (APB), their mission is to improve the construction industry for both builders AND consumers. APB believes builders deserve more money than they are currently earning from building custom homes. Additionally, consumers deserve a better experience than they are currently receiving.

Earnings and experience go hand-in-hand. You can’t deliver a world-class service on tiny margins without systems. This is why father-daughter partnership, Russ and Sky Stephens are helping residential home builders to implement proven systems into their building companies.

Within Professional Builder Secrets, you’ll find the systems and processes you need. Step by step, Russ and Sky have provided a path to generating more quality leads, more sales, as well as increased margins. Along with their own story, they’ve also included the success stories of past APB clients. With their book in your hands, world-class service is only a few pages away. Free on Kindle.

Who Gets It?!: How To Find, Motivate and Retain Top Talent
Who Gets It?! How to Find, Motivate, and Retain Top Talent.

Never underestimate the power of customer service, or the importance of creating a company culture in which policy aligns with logic. If employees don’t see the value in your company, customers won’t either. This is why the right attitude, approach, and communication strategies are essential for a successful business. Those who “get it” already understand this.

We think of “getting it” as a philosophy, a strategy, a management technique, and a wellness lifestyle that can help motivate all stakeholders in a company.

Based on our extensive experience in the events industry, we’ve identified five categories that we’ve seen the members of our teams fall into every time without fail. We’ve seen this in every other type of business as well. At the top are those who get it, and those who are energized. The bulk are in the middle or the comfort zone, and at the bottom are those who don’t care or who just don’t get it.

Our method starts with identifying the top performers who “get it.” You can then use the strategies in this book to build a stronger company culture around their efforts, while also motivating others. This book steps you through how to identify employees in every category and also provides suggestions for how to energize or “jump” them up to the next level of engagement. Most importantly, you will learn how to attract top talent, as well as how to keep them engaged, motivated, and dedicated to your company. Free on Kindle.
