EPISODE 232: 2024 was a tough market for the home improvement industry. Economic uncertainties and rising costs threw a wrench in many contractors' plans, but not for my guest today, Kirk Koskiniemi. Kirk took his roofing business from $10.4M to $16.7M over the past year AND raised profits at the same time. He and his team achieved this with a single mantra: "Do fewer things better".

We talk about how he optimized his sales funnel’s various conversion points, increasing average ticket size to drive down marketing costs (even on small repair jobs), what a typical week looks like for his sales reps, and the magic behind “handing out leads like they are diamonds”. You’ll also find out why their average NSLI (Net Sales Per Lead Issued) went from $5,600 to $10,500 in December when they were low on leads—and why they are thinking of switching sales goals from overall revenue to the highest NSLI. We finally chatted about how our Accelerate LIVE! event played a major role in his growth with its big learning and networking opportunities.

EPISODE 224: To grow a truly successful home improvement business, you don’t just need to sell more or deliver quality work, you also need to make sure your sales and production aren’t misaligned. After all, it is this alignment that creates the foundation for a thriving business: predictable growth and profitability without all the headaches. How can you achieve this? To answer this question, I’ve invited an expert on this week’s episode of The Wealthy Contractor podcast, Chris Hermes, the founder of USA Showers, a bath remodeling company based in Arizona. Chris learned the ropes from industry leader (and my dear friend) Brian Gottlieb, applying lessons on KPI management and the importance of cash flow in handling the “back end” of the business while scaling profitably. With a disciplined approach to alignment between sales and production, and a personal commitment to self-development, Chris is now on a mission to double his own business’ revenue in the coming year. In this episode, Chris and I will be discussing his personal development journey, the story of how he went from running sales to being thrown into running a $25 million backend, how he scaled his brand new USA Showers to $6M in revenue in less than a year, why you should trick yourself into thinking you’re better than you are, and so much more. Chris’s journey to his own multimillion dollar bath remodeling business is truly inspiring, and I can’t wait for you to learn more about it. Are you ready? Let’s dive in!

EPISODE 222: Many contractors find themselves taking on too much work because they don’t want to give up control. They’d rather work long hours in the business than hire the people to do it. But this isn’t the way to run a successful company, no matter how talented you might be. If you’re incredible at what you do, but find that your ego and need for control are holding you back from delegating and hiring the people you need to do the work, then you definitely want to give this week’s episode of The Wealthy Contractor podcast a listen. In it, I sit down with my friend Charles Surber from Surber’s Windows & Doors, a family-owned home remodeling business with a 44-year history. Since joining in 1994, Charles was able to successfully scale the business while also increasing his profit margins; but he wasn’t able to do so until he let go of certain responsibilities, hired and trained a great sales team, implemented a structured selling system, and found ways to remove the fear from making certain decisions Make sure to listen in as Charles and I discuss his company’s phenomenal success, why he adopted the Profit First method, and the importance of letting go of control (even when you really can do it best). He and I will also be talking about how he’s hacked customer loyalty, why the company is focusing on community engagement as much as profit, the importance of face-to-face marketing, his incredible open house strategy, and more.
