How to Win Work from Builders & General Contractors w/ Adam Ballinger

Builders & General Contractors are tricky, right? 

  

They can be super unorganized, which can mess you around and kill your profits.  

  

If you’re not careful, they can also use you like a bank...  

  

On the other hand, they can bring in a lot of work opportunities.  

  

So, how can we work with Builders and General Contractors in a productive way? And what’s the key to ensuring they call you the next time they need a job done?  

  

On this week’s The Profitable Tradie Podcast I interview Adam Ballinger, owner of award-winning general contractors New Image Homes—and the guy who built my house.  

WHAT YOU’LL GAIN FROM LISTENING TO TODAY’S PODCAST:  

  1. THE KEY TO BECOMING A BUILDER’S NEW GO-TO  
  2. HOW TO STOP CONTRACTORS USING YOU LIKE A BANK  
  3. LESSONS TO LEARN FROM SUBCONTRACTOR HORROR STORIES
