369: The Money Is Made In The Sale. Production’s Job Is To Protect That Profit

The Roofer Show

You hear us talk every week about the three-legged stool of business: selling work, doing work, and keeping score. Last week’s episode covered the first phase of selling work, and John DeLaurier shared details about the sales process he’s using right now with his company, Peach State Roofing. In today’s episode, Dave and John discuss the “doing work” part of the equation. You can sell a job for a lot of money, but if your production team can’t do the work profitably, you will lose a lot of money. Join us to learn more!
