Business Systems For Commercial Contractors


Every Business Needs A Helping Hand
Now and Then...Even Yours


Running a construction business is not for the faint of heart. It takes courage, stamina, and broad shoulders upon which to carry the expectations of many unreasonable people.

For example, let's consider a typical evening for Mike Minor, owner of a 15 person commercial masonry business.

It's getting late. John is sitting at his desk. His voice mail has twenty unanswered messages...and not one of them is a sales lead. A pile of checks is waiting for review and signature.

Before John can go home to see his family, he has to pull together a bid for a small project that six of his competitors will be fighting over. John's days are spent jumping from one fire to another, running from one project to another.

John wakes up each morning believing "Things are going to get better."

John goes to bed each night convinced "It's never going to change."

When John first started out, he could trust his instinct. John knew which customers to work for and which to avoid. He knew how to keep his good customers happy and never had to worry about getting paid. In the field, John's crews working hard and always did the right thing. To top it all off, John was putting a lot of money in the bank. Ah, times were great.

But lately, no matter what he tries, business remains a grind. Cash is painfully tight. Clients remain impossibly demanding. Employees don't step up and take ownership of their work. John's competition is pricing their work below cost. It seems like everyone has lost his mind.

The truth is: John needs help with his construction business.

In this economy, almost every contractor could use a little help. A new market to chase, a different way to motivate workers, a trick for getting clients to fork over the receivables.

We know how hard it is for contractors to find sound business guidance. You certainly aren't likely to find it at association meetings or through industry contacts. We tried those paths ourselves when we worked as contractors.

You know what? You've worked hard to build your construction business. You didn't opt for the "safe" choice of employment. You went all in. You chose to test yourself; to grab destiny by its throat and bend it to your will.

You're probably humble about your success. You figure you got lucky. You didn't. As long as you've lasted, luck had very little to do with it.

We're guessing that despite your success, you're wanting more or better. You stopped by this site looking for something, probably looking for help with your business. Rest assured you can find that help right here, right inside our private club.

We're here to give you confidence in your decision making, give your hope when you are feeling a little lost or unsure. That probably doesn't happen often, but when it does, we're here for you. After all, isn't that what a business coach is supposed to do? Isn't he supposed to provide you with guidance and confidence? And that's what the club contains, the advice we deliver to our coaching clients as we help them grow their businesses.

How can we guarantee our club can help you? Frankly, we've never met a contractor that we couldn't help with one thing or another. That statement isn't humble...but it is honest.

Why You Should Join

  • We're going to show you how to avoid bad clients.

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

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

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

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

Our materials show you how to grow your business, how to take it from the one-man operation to a small shop with a physical office and overhead staff to an organized business complete with sales and operations management teams and finally to implementing an executive team who runs the business for you and frees you up to pursue new opportunities.

We know you've worked hard for your money and are careful about how you spend it. That's why we keep the membership price low and give you a 30 day no questions asked, 100% money back satisfaction guarantee. You have an entire month to decide for yourself whether we have the systems you need to build a better business. If for any reason you decide the information isn't worthy of your time and money, just login and cancel. Stopping payment is as simple as that.

If you are like us, you are pretty cautious about giving out your credit card over the internet. Fear not in this case. We use the web's top credit card processing system for processing orders. We do not have access to your credit card number.

You are also probably hesitant, like us, to share your contact information over the internet. No need to worry. We promise do not share our membership list with anyone. We value your business and will not risk losing it in an effort to squeeze an extra buck out of the information you've trusted us with.

To show how much we trust you, we give you the ability to download everything we put up on the site. We know you could join, copy it all to your computer, and cancel within 30 days without spending a dime in the end. Why would we take that risk? Because we know contractors are salt-of-the-earth people who don't take advantage of others and don't like to be taken advantage of themselves. We've built our coaching business around that belief.

So, as we come to the end of this page, we have one question for you. Will you let us be your helping hand?

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 reading

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 reading

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,
