Four client wins this week, and every one of them started with a decision to get intentional about growth.

One company just closed its first six-figure job while another celebrated its best month yet. One turned $1K in ad spend into $20K in revenue in month one. And another booked a $46K remodel straight from Meta.

This is what happens when the right systems meet the right effort. Which one hits closest to home for you?

Fixed price is the silent killer of construction businesses.

Variables change mid-project. You either ask for more money or eat the cost.

Lose-Lose every time.

Cost+ fixes it: profits collected through the whole project, cash flow stays moving, and customers actually love it more.

Last month, Jordan Berry of Jordan Berry received 60 leads from Google Local Services.

But he didn’t get there overnight.

You can make big improvements in marketing over a short period of time, but getting to where you really want to be takes a long term mindset.

Especially true of Google Local Services. Google LSA is one of the best lead sources for contractors. Very top of Google. Pay per lead model. Show up for niche services.

But, it can take time to get it really humming.

Most guys give up on it two months in. The ones who win stay committed to Google’s best practices long term.

It won’t change in a week. It won’t change in two. But if you stay consistent, it works.

Cool moment in our recent group call to hear Jordan coach up some of our new contractors to the program. By the way - check out his new music page he just launched michaeljvon

I built a remodeling business from scratch to $1 million in ten months, and I never had someone turn down a proposal. Here’s how.

The proposal isn’t where the deal gets won or lost. The pricing model is.

Every proposal I sent used the cost plus pricing model. That meant clients weren’t approving a number they had to trust blindly. They were approving a breakdown they could actually see.

There was no guesswork built in, so there was no risk hiding in it either. I wasn’t pricing jobs off gut feel and hoping I landed close. Every dollar was accounted for, which meant there was nothing to eat later and nothing to defend.

Labor, subs, materials, all laid out before the client ever had to decide whether to trust me. And once the PM fee and profit were named separately, my fee became the only thing left to talk about.

Ten months, $1 million, no rejected proposals. That’s what happens when your clients can trust they know exactly their money’s going.

Real talk: “scaling” without a reason why is just a treadmill.

Found this vid from Howling Wolf Carpentry recently and it stopped my scroll. Billy runs his shop out of Cincinnati, and he’s not chasing some abstract number - he’s building a business around the parts of the work he actually cares about most.

That’s the piece most “growth” content skips. Everyone wants to talk about scaling, but nobody asks scaling toward what. More revenue for its own sake isn’t a goal, it’s a hamster wheel with better lighting.

The trades are one of the most underrated paths to real wealth AND a life you don’t need a vacation to escape from - but only if you know what you’re building it for. That vision doesn’t come from a guru, a course, or anything else. It comes from you deciding what you actually want your days to look like, and having the guts to build toward that instead of someone else’s version of “success.”

Growth isn’t the goal. It’s just the vehicle. Know your destination first.

Contractors who try to market everywhere end up winning nowhere.

That’s not a knock. There’s real pressure as a business owner to be everywhere, posting constantly, trying every platform. And the phone still isn’t ringing the way it should.

There are five places worth your time and money. Nail these and you can ignore everything else with a clear conscience.

1. Google Business Profile. It’s where homeowners find you first.

2. Google Local Services. Pay per lead, highest intent traffic there is.

3. A website built to convert, not to win design awards.

4. Facebook and Instagram ads. Go find homeowners instead of waiting to be found.

5. Organic SEO. But only once the basics are already paying off.

Five places, not fifty. Comment MAP below and I’ll send you the one-page breakdown so you stop spreading yourself thin.

Most price fights aren’t about the number. They’re about a lack of transparency about where that number came from.

A fixed bid asks a client to trust your math without seeing it, and it doesn’t leave much room when the job doesn’t go exactly as planned.

Cost plus shows them the math and flexes with the project instead of breaking under it. One of those is a much easier sell – even though it feels scarier to offer.

Here’s why it’s worth making the switch:

1️⃣ Fixed bids force you to guess. Guess wrong and you eat the difference or fight for a change order. Either way, trust takes the hit.

2️⃣ Cost plus removes the guessing game entirely. The client sees exactly what labor, subs, and materials cost – no hidden markup buried in a lump sum.

3️⃣ Your fees become the only thing up for discussion – not your integrity. When the PM fee and profit are named and separate, clients stop wondering what you’re not telling them.

4️⃣ Receipts do the arguing for you. You’re not defending a price anymore. You’re just showing the paper trail.

Pitching this to a customer is easier than you might think. You can copy our exact wording – and it might just change everything for your business.

Booked six months out, largely on referrals. That’s where one of our clients is right now, and it’s just one of four wins from our clients this month.

A luxury renovation contract marking the biggest in company history. Another client’s best month ever, closing bigger jobs than before. One client’s Google Local Services leads more than tripled in a single year.

None of this happens by accident. It happens with the right coaching, the right systems, and business owners willing to put in the work.

There are two ways contractors charge: Fixed Price or Cost+

The fixed price contractors are more common, but often result in much lower margins. It’s often the silent killer of construction businesses. Why?

Too many variables change from proposal to construction..and this happens most often when you’re already deep in the project.

Now you’re asking yourself: do I ask the customer for more money or do I eat the cost and not make any money?

Fixed price contractors sometimes pad their bids to avoid this problem.

Now, the sale becomes so much harder because you’re the highest price bid.

And with that comes higher commissions to sales guys. More expensive marketing. Pushy sales tactics.

The fact is - you should NEVER eat the cost of a customer’s home improvements. It will eat your business alive.

The way out is by charging Cost+ - here’s how:

Set expectations up front on how it works, actively update the customer on all costs with receipts, and charge a margin based (not markup) fee to cover your profits and overhead.

10% project management & scheduling fee to cover your overhead.

20% contractor fee to make a profit.

You collect profits throughout the entire project, not having to wait until the final bill. Cashflow & profitability stay moving in your business.

When unforeseen problems arise or your customer changes scope it’s not a problem..because the customer is paying for the work, not you.

The crazy thing is..customers love this model MORE than fixed price.

It works better for them because they’re only paying what the project actually costs - never more than what they need.

On top of that, you build trust by giving them complete visibility into all transactions. They always know every expense before they can even ask.

Lastly, with Cost+, it’s a Pay-As-We-Progress model. Customers aren’t paying huge lump sums that put them, and therefore you, in a tough cash position.

As work gets done, the customer pays the bill and cash stays moving.

Guaranteed Win-Win.

From losing money on every call to turning a profit on every one, this week’s wins are proof that the right structure changes everything.

One garage door business repriced their services, cut what wasn’t working, and rebuilt their team. Now every call turns a profit instead of costing them money. A home remodeling business felt hesitant filming their own “cheesy” Facebook ads. Those same ads are now landing them $100,000+ bathroom remodel jobs. And a plumbing business trained their techs to price jobs line by line. One just closed a nearly $10,000 job completely on his own.

Different businesses, different challenges. Same pattern: structure plus consistency equals real results.
