Business Systems That Grow Commercial

* Click the "Join" Button To Get Started *


If you stopped by this site looking for help growing your business, rest assured you will find the answers you need inside our private library and through our coaching services.

As you've learned, running a construction business is not for the faint of heart. It takes courage, stamina, and a never-say-die commitment to success. After spending 30 years each in the industry we've seen almost every possible combination of tricks. Some work great, most produce far less than the desired results.

We know you've worked hard to build your business. You've given it your all. You've laid it all on the line. Hopefully that effort has paid off handsomely for you. Hopefully, you're ready to take the next step...to grow to the next level. And as you're here reading this, you're probably looking for fresh ideas or a proven growth system. You'll find both inside should you choose to join up.

We know how hard it is for contractors to find sound business guidance. You are not likely to find it at an association meeting or through a local mentor. We tried those paths ourselves when we worked as contractors.

We'll give you confidence in your decision making, hope when you are feeling lost or unsure, and point you in the right direction when you can't see the path. The club's content is the same advice we give our coaching clients as we help them grow their businesses. It's now availble to you for a far, far smaller investment.

Why You Should Join (30 day FREE Trial!)

  • We're going to show you how to increase your margins.

  • We're going to show you how to lower your field costs, maintain quality, and finish projects on time.

  • We're going to show you how to get the most out of your people.

  • We're going to show you how to make better use of your time.

  • Long story short - we're going to show you how to grow your business.

Accountability - It's NOT Optional
by Ron Roberts
One of the most frustrating parts of running a business is the never ending battle with employees. Some never seem to do what you need them to do. They are either working slow, working on the wrong things, or doing things the wrong way. Since you can't grow a business without employees, you have three choices in the matter: . . . keep going

The Money Is In The Back End
by Ron Roberts
Does the term "back-end" mean anything to you? In the retail world, back-end means how much you make off of a customer AFTER the initial sale. U-haul's business strategy is a great example of how back-end works. If you've rented from U-haul within the past few years, you've seen their back-end in action. . . . keep going

Here's what happened to one member shortly after joining. It could happen to you too.

Ron,

Thanks for your call last week. Over the weekend I signed up and listened to a bunch of the sales discussions. It got me fired up and I ended up drafting a sales process with scripts and what to accomplish during a call. This week I will send customers our newsletter and following up with calls.

Cheers,

Mike

Why charge only $39.99 $19.98?

We know that the number of contractors who need assistance FAR exceeds our capacity to provide it with our hands-on help. We felt it was unfair to keeping such valuable guidance accessible only to our hand-picked clients.

Our FRC private club is our way of giving back to the construction community. Hopefully, you will take advantage of the opportunity.

We look forward to seeing you inside the club.

May your construction business bring you everything you dream of.

Your friends and champions,

Finding And Eliminating Those Constraints
Guy Gruenberg
It would serve you will to gain perspective on your business. This can be very difficult for an owner or senior manager. As you are working in the business it is usually more difficult to be objective. Like author Michael Gerber suggests, you should be working on your business instead of working in it. Here is a suggestion. Start by asking yourself a few questions: . . . keep going
The 100 $1 Bill Seminar Game
Ron Roberts
Today I'm going to share a training exercise that works wonders for showing fields workers and clients the true hourly cost of labor. Neither have any idea of why you need to charge at least $50 an hour for a $20 an hour field worker. The exercise is easy. It never fails to produce laughs if handled correctly. It perfectly demonstrates the full cost of running a business. . . . keep going
Leading vs. Lagging Indicators
Business founders share much in common - not the least of which is their laser like focus on end-results. Surely you can relate. Isn't that the way we identify life's winners? Who produced the greatest achievements? Who made the most money? Who became famous and then raked in the dough with a "How I Did It" autobiography? That trait strikes many people as being cold-hearted or harsh, but isn't life about testing yourself and seeing how great you can be? If so, it makes perfect sense and is perfectly right to measure progress by the results we produce. If everyone that started a business was successful, where would the thrill, the pride, come from? Luckily, or maybe not so, succeeding in business is tough, very tough. Anyone can lose money. That's easy. Making money? Now, that is truly challenging. . . . keep going
Your Key Indicator Of Success
Ron Roberts
While introducing the flash report topic a few weeks ago, I mentioned that every business has a single number that tells its owner how things are going. That tease led to quite a flurry of questions, not the least of which were my business partner's. . . . keep going
The Door's Open For Design-Build
Ron Roberts
It was December 1993. The economy was humming. The engineering firm I worked at was staying busy with commercial and hospital remodels. Day in and day out, we faced the usual pressures: last minute architectural changes, upcoming bid dates, incomplete shop drawings, and urgent RFIs. Pretty standard fare. Our company enjoyed an excellent reputation among local architects and a strong reputation with building owners. You would think we were sitting pretty. You would think we would be making good money. Not really. . . . keep going

Your Flash Report
Ron Roberts
Profit and loss statements are poor predictors of future performance. As such, they cannot give you the depth of information you need to rest easy. Predicting future performance is your Flash Report's role. It does so by showing you how well the drivers of your business' success are progressing. Luckily for you, we have extensive experience with the inner workings of construction companies. We can point out most of the numbers you need on your Flash Report without knowing which type of work you specialize in. . . . keep going
Strategic Staffing Moves
Ron Roberts
Thousands of contractors are struggling to keep their overhead talent productive. Business models have changed. Business opportunities have changed. Where contractors could afford to hire specialists in the past, they can no longer afford such a luxury. . . . keep going
Construction Forecast for 1st Qtr 2010
Guy Gruenberg
Ron and I don't profess to have a crystal ball to predict the future. What we do possess is contact with literally hundreds of contractors and a drive to constantly analyze market factors. So with this article you will be getting our best guess as to what you can expect the first quarter of 2010 to bring. . . . keep going
Putting The Horse Before The Cart (where it belongs)
Guy Gruenberg
You may not realize it but Ron and I have serious conversations about newsletter topics. We always ask ourselves if the subject matter is relevant to our readers. Often our client interactions spur some of the topics as well as feedback from you our readers. So if there is a subject that you would like us to write about let us know. . . . keep going
