high-enjoyment DB business.
Learn how to hit 20% net profit, scale your business and
differentiate yourself from the competition.
It is no secret that design-build (and bid-build) operations are hard to manage from a sales, staffing and operational perspective. It’s even harder to make a consistent good profit. And it’s harder still to scale this part of your company. We will adress all these challenges and more in this Summit.
Many of you love Design/Bid – Build because it creates enormous pride, generates cash flow, and helps win awards! But it can also be chaotic and give a poor return on investment. Stop the madness! It’s time to transform your mindset and business processes.
This Summit will show you how to align every aspect of your design/bid build business (branding, marketing, sales, estimating, logistics, production, staffing, compensation, customer service and after care) so that you will enjoy improved profitability, build a more “sellable” business, and allow you to be home for dinner at day’s end! Life is for enjoying!
Jeffrey Scott, who has helped DB companies reach 20% + net profit margin, will share approaches, mindsets, tools, systems and case studies designed to run a more profitable enterprise that you can scale, and still give you back the life you deserve.
We will visit Hidden Creek Landscaping in Hilliard, OH and see the inside of their company, and hear from the owners and managers, so that you can see and learn first hand how a highly functioning design-build business operates.
