Learn how giving value first creates predictable revenue growth Add Value First Money Follows - that's the simple rule most business owners have backwards. They think about what they can get instead of what they can give, and that's why they stay stuck. In this episode, I brought on Ramon Ray because his energy is amazing, but more importantly, he figured out something most people miss: you make money based on how much you help others. We talk about the real meaning behind Darwin's "survival of the fittest" - spoiler alert, it's not what you think - and why hanging around more successful people creates steady growth. Ramon and I break down how to create your own chances instead of waiting to be invited, and why building systems that grow beats working harder every single time. Ramon Ray is exactly the kind of business owner I love talking with - he doesn't wait for permission, he makes his own luck. This guy has built and sold many companies, recently got a job as Bitdefender's small business rep, and here's how he did it: he walked right up to them after speaking at their event and basically made his own job. That's the kind of thinking that separates million-dollar business owners from everyone else. Ramon wrote "Celebrity CEO" and has been on major TV shows, but what I respect most is how he treats relationships - it's never just about business, always about helping first. And now that he's a grandfather to little Ezra, you can bet he's thinking about what he's building and the lessons he'll teach about creating steady success. KEY TAKEAWAYS: How to build revenue-generating relationships by starting every interaction asking what's happening in their personal life and how you can add value instead of leading with your pitch. What to do when opportunities don't come to you by creating your own table and walking up to decision-makers to pitch roles that don't exist yet like Ramon did with Bitdefender. How to accelerate your business growth by surrounding yourself with people operating at higher temperatures who naturally pull you up instead of those who drag you down to their comfort level. What separates seven-figure businesses from the rest by building scalable systems and hiring people to expand the business with you so you're not trapped in daily operations. When to take action on opportunities by getting comfortable being uncomfortable and moving immediately without perfect strategy because breakthrough moments require instant response. What to focus on instead of just services by delivering measurable outcomes and business impact since AI is commoditizing results but can't automate true transformation. How authentic networking creates predictable revenue by approaching relationships with genuine intent to help first so opportunities emerge naturally without forced transactions. When business gets tough and you want to quit by showing up and executing anyway because someone loses if you don't win and consistency during lows separates successful entrepreneurs. Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures. The show will feature a mix of pure content and expert interviews to present key concepts and fundamental topics in a variety of different formats. We believe that this format will enable our listeners to learn the most from the show, implement more in their businesses, and get real value out of the podcast. Enjoy the show.

This Podcast Is Episode 642, And It's About How To Know If It's Time To Raise Your Rates Without Losing Clients A Practical Guide for Contractors Who Want to Stay Profitable—Without Scaring Off Business If you're like most small construction business owners, you've probably had this thought: "I'm working non-stop, but I'm still barely keeping up—should I raise my prices?" And then right after that, the fear kicks in: "What if I lose clients? What if no one can afford me anymore?" As construction bookkeeping specialists, we hear this frequently. Contractors are nervous to raise their rates because they worry it'll cost them jobs or damage their reputation. But here's the truth: Raising your rates isn't about greed—it's about survival. In this post, we'll guide you through understanding when it's time to increase your rates, how to do it without losing your best clients, and how your books can provide the data and confidence to price with clarity. Why Contractors Hesitate to Raise Rates Let's start with the everyday fears: "My clients won't pay more." "I'll lose out to cheaper competition." "What if I price myself out of the market?" These fears are common, but often based on assumptions rather than data. Low rates can hurt your business more than help it. They lead to: Burnout from overwork Poor-quality clients who expect a lot and pay late Inability to reinvest in tools, help, or marketing Projects that cost more than they bring in So let's flip the script. Instead of fearing a rate increase, let's explore how to raise with purpose—and use facts, not fear, to guide your pricing. 1. Start with Job Costing Before raising rates, you need to know one thing clearly: Are you actually making money on your jobs? Job costing is the process of tracking: Labor hours (including your own!) Material and supply costs Subcontractor fees Equipment and tool usage Permits, dump runs, gas, insurance A share of your overhead (office, truck, phone, software) Once you tally this up, compare it to what you charged. If you're seeing slim margins—or worse, negative ones—you're undercharging. Bookkeeper's Tip: Start by reviewing your last 5–10 jobs. Break them down into: Estimated vs. actual cost Hours quoted vs. hours worked Gross profit (before overhead) Net profit (after overhead) Even a simple spreadsheet can help you see which jobs are winners—and which ones need a pricing tune-up. 2. Watch for These Signs - It's Time to Raise Rates Still unsure? Here are seven signs it's time to raise your prices: 1. You're booked out for weeks (or months) This means demand is high, and your pricing may be too low. If people are lining up, a modest increase won't deter them. 2. You're working too hard for too little If you're exhausted, working weekends, and still not taking home enough, your rate is too low. Period. 3. You haven't raised your prices in over a year Material costs, fuel, insurance, and labor have all increased. If your rates haven't changed, you're likely absorbing the difference. 4. Your quality has improved Are you more skilled than when you started? Do you offer better results, smoother communication, or cleaner job sites? Then you should be charging for it. 5. You're attracting low-quality clients If you constantly deal with haggling, late payments, or poor communication, your pricing is attracting bargain hunters rather than quality clients. 6. Your tools, overhead, and team cost more Running a legit business costs money. If you're licensed, insured, and invest in quality, your rates should reflect that. 7. You're turning away work If you're saying no to jobs because you're too busy, that's a strong sign it's time to raise your prices and focus on higher-value projects. 3. How to Raise Rates Without Losing Good Clients You don't need to double your rates overnight or announce a price hike in bold letters. Here's how to do it strategically and professionally: A. Start with New Clients This is the easiest path. Quote your new price to new inquiries in the future. They won't know the old rate, so there's no resistance. B. Add Value, Not Just Cost When raising rates, remind clients of what they're getting: Better project management Faster turnaround Clearer communication Higher quality materials Insured and dependable work Frame your pricing as an investment, not just a fee. C. Offer Tiers or Packages For price-sensitive clients, offer a few levels of service: Basic (bare-bones scope) Standard (your usual full-service) Premium (extras like design, faster turnaround, etc.) This helps clients self-select based on budget without forcing you to underprice your work. D. Phase In Rate Increases If you work with repeat clients, give them a heads-up: "Due to rising material and labor costs, I'll be increasing my hourly/project rates starting [date]. I wanted to let you know in advance so we can plan accordingly." Most reasonable clients will understand, especially if you've consistently delivered value. 4. Use Pricing Psychology to Your Advantage Pricing is part math, part mindset. Here are a few tactics to make your price increases feel smoother: Avoid round numbers Instead of $1,000, say $1,175 or $3,950. It feels more calculated, not random. Anchor with options Show your higher price next to a more expensive (or less valuable) one. This frames your offer as the "just right" choice. Include a price breakdown. Show labor, materials, subs, overhead—so clients understand what goes into your rate. Be confident Clients can sense uncertainty. If you hesitate or over-explain, it creates doubt. Quote clearly and stand behind your values. 5. Track What Happens Next After you raise rates, keep an eye on: Win/loss rate (are fewer clients saying yes?) Job profitability (are you keeping more after costs?) Client satisfaction (any change in feedback or reviews?) Hours worked vs. income (are you earning more with less hustle?) Often, you'll find you're getting fewer clients, but better ones. And that's the goal: less chaos, more profit, and more control over your schedule. Final Thoughts You Deserve to Be Paid for What You're Worth You started your business to build freedom, not to be overworked and underpaid. Raising your rates isn't risky when data, systems, and experience back it. It's a sign of growth and professionalism. The right clients will respect it, and you'll finally start seeing the kind of income and balance your hard work deserves. Need Help Understanding Your Numbers Before You Raise Rates? As a construction bookkeeping specialist, we help contractors: Break down job costs Analyze profit margins Clean up financials Set pricing that actually works As we always say, Contractors like you deserve to be wealthy because you bring value to other people's lives. You don't need more jobs. You need the right jobs at the correct rate. Let's get you there.

Probably one of the most effective ways to add value is to think about the internal layout of the property and how you can make this work better and more valuable. E.g turning a 2 bed into a 3 bed house; this can add up to 25% of the equity. Carpets and decoration are the final two touches for every room in the property that adds value. Loft conversions and basement conversions can add significant value to a property, especially in cities.  BEST MOMENTS “nice bathrooms, nice kitchens, they're going to give you highest impact on value and highest impact on rental income” “You don't have to spend a huge amount of money” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk   ***FREE DOWNLOAD*** How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let http://bit.ly/BTLReport-YT ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

Will This Add Value to My Home? Navigating Renovations with ROI in Mind By Sharon McNamara & Melissa Wallace, Boston Connect Real Estate On this rainy Saturday, the Talk Real Estate Roundtable turned its attention to a question that many homeowners are asking: “Will this renovation actually add value to my home?” Whether you're planning to sell in the near future or just want to enjoy your space more, understanding what projects are worth your time and money is key. Step One: Know the Market Before picking up a hammer or calling a contractor, it's important to assess where the market stands. Is it a buyer's market or a seller's market? What are today's buyers actually looking for? During the post-COVID boom, many buyers were willing to overlook imperfections just to secure a home. But today, buyers are becoming more particular—and with good reason. When homes cost so much, expectations rise accordingly. Think Beyond ROI—Think Lifestyle It's not just about return on investment. As Sharon shared, one of her clients wanted to build an addition to host holiday gatherings. But after a thoughtful discussion, it became clear that a smaller renovation could meet their needs at a fraction of the cost—without sacrificing their low mortgage rate. Sometimes, the best move isn't to move at all. Top Renovation Tips from the Roundtable Here are a few key takeaways from the episode: Start with Structural: Before making aesthetic upgrades, address major systems—roof, windows, siding, septic, heating, and water heater. These are the things that truly impact home value and buyer confidence. Match Your Materials: Inconsistencies like mismatched flooring can turn buyers off. Consistency in finishes and materials makes a home feel cohesive and well-maintained. Ask Before You Act: Some homeowners dive into projects without consulting a real estate professional, only to find they've hurt their resale value. Always reach out to a trusted agent first. Pull the Permit: If a project requires one, get it. Not doing so can create legal and financial headaches during the selling process. A Holistic Approach to Homeownership At Boston Connect Real Estate, we don't just sell homes—we help our clients make smart, forward-thinking decisions. Sometimes that means recommending a renovation. Sometimes it means advising against one. And sometimes it means suggesting you stay put and love the home you're in. If you're wondering what renovations make sense for your situation, reach out for a consultation. We're here to help you make informed decisions, whether you're moving in three months or three years.

Not all property upgrades are worth the price. In this episode of Strategy Saturday, Charles Carillo uncovers six common rental property renovations that don't increase rent, resale value, or return on investment—and in some cases, they can actually lower your NOI. From unpermitted work to luxury appliances and layout changes that backfire, Charles shares real examples and lessons learned from years of hands-on real estate investing. You'll learn: Which renovations landlords often regret Why “over-improving” hurts more than it helps The financial traps of pools, solar panels, and premium upgrades How to align renovations with market demand and tenant expectations Before you start your next property update, make sure you're investing where it truly counts.

Episode 230How 2 Add Value 2 HimSensers! The cliche statement “what do you bring to the table?” Well what can a woman bring to the table for how I run a frame? Start with your superpower: femininity. Amongst other things, but being in alignment with your femininity in combination with me being aligned in my masculinity I believe  creates a  powerful force. Consistency can be challenging at times. Downright a bitch even, but what does one do when life gets off course from the goals set or just life in general? Peep what I discuss on the topic. So some of us have yet to see anything remotely close to healthy love or a healthy relationship. So how would one who's never seen it know to even move towards healthy love? How do you know you're not repeating a familiar cycle? Is this what's best for me? Who fucking knows…but we can start by acknowledging that we don't know enough and be open to learn. May God and His Universe remove any negative energy you may have stored from reading this.

In the Building Better Developers podcast episode, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche share valuable insights into effective product enhancement strategies. They explore how businesses can improve and expand their products and services without adding unnecessary complexity or sacrificing quality. If you're a business owner, product manager, or developer, this episode is packed with practical advice on how to grow your offerings sustainably in a customer-focused manner. Why Product Enhancement Strategies Matter Rob opens the discussion by pointing out that technology is often one of the biggest business expenses after staffing costs. Whether it's software, infrastructure, or digital services, improving your product shouldn't be about simply adding more—it should be about increasing value. When done right, product enhancements can: Improve customer satisfaction Strengthen brand loyalty Open new revenue streams Reduce friction in the customer experience Three Smart Ways to Enhance Your Product Rob and Michael break down three key ways to approach product enhancement: Add Meaningful Features or Integrations Focus on features your customers actually want. This could be reporting tools, new integrations, or quality-of-life improvements that solve real problems. Expand Service Offerings For service-based businesses, enhancement may involve broadening what you offer. For example, moving from just front-end development to full-stack services. Improve Quality and Performance Not all enhancements need to be visible. Sometimes, the best improvement is making your product faster, more reliable, and easier to use. Avoiding Common Product Enhancement Pitfalls The hosts emphasize that not all enhancements are good enhancements. Adding unnecessary features can bloat your product, confuse customers, and increase maintenance overhead. Michael introduces the concept of product quality of life—the long-term usability and effectiveness of your product. If you're not careful about how you enhance your products, they can become outdated or inefficient over time. They also warn against growing too fast. Adding too many features without the proper infrastructure can stretch your team thin and reduce overall product quality. How to Stay Customer-Centric A key theme of this episode is the importance of listening to your customers. Rob and Michael recommend: Conducting regular customer surveys or interviews Building relationships with power users Testing enhancements quickly and rolling back if they don't add value Your product enhancement strategies should always be driven by honest feedback, not assumptions. Your Next Step The episode wraps up with a challenge: What is your next product enhancement strategy? Before your next release or feature update, ask yourself: Does this enhancement provide real value to my customers? Do I have the resources to support it? Will it improve the overall customer experience? If you're unsure, start by gathering feedback. Your customers' input is the key to meaningful, sustainable product growth.

I love podcasts! As a host and a guest, I've seen firsthand how they spark connections, showcase expertise, and open doors to new opportunities. But being a podcast guest isn't just about showing up—it's about building relationships, adding value, and promoting your appearance long after the recording ends. That's why I was so excited to chat with Angel Tuccy, who knows the podcasting world inside and out. With 15 bestselling books and a knack for connecting hosts and guests through her Need a Guest Facebook community, Angel shared some practical, no-nonsense advice on how to make the most of podcast guesting as a marketing strategy. Key Points from the Conversation: Quality Over Quantity in Podcast Pitches: Instead of cold-emailing dozens of podcast hosts, focus on building genuine relationships. Engage with hosts by listening to their shows, sharing their content, and interacting meaningfully before pitching yourself as a guest. Promote Your Appearances: Don't let your podcast interviews fade into obscurity. Angel suggests creating a Google spreadsheet to track your appearances and repurposing the content through blog posts, social media, and email campaigns to keep the buzz alive long after the episode airs. Be Relatable and Authentic: Great podcast conversations aren't perfectly polished—they're human. Be ready for unscripted moments, embrace the quirks of live dialogue, and let your personality shine through. Add Value to the Audience: Whether it's sharing actionable insights or telling stories that resonate, focus on providing meaningful content that helps listeners. This builds trust and encourages them to follow both you and the podcast host. Leverage Communities Like Need a Guest: Joining networks where podcast hosts actively seek guests can dramatically improve your booking rate. Being part of a vetted community often leads to more natural connections and opportunities. Your Next Steps: Build a database of your podcast appearances to reuse content creatively across platforms. Prioritize meaningful connections with podcast hosts rather than sending generic pitches. Promote your interviews through posts, emails, and even bundled articles on related topics. Let go of perfection during interviews—authenticity wins over a polished script every time. Explore communities like Need a Guest to streamline your efforts and connect with hosts.

Mary Morton reveals how converting scientific research into strategic relationships revolutionized her recruitment approach. A biology major turned pharmaceutical recruiter, she leverages investor presentations and company pipelines to identify opportunities before her competitors.  This research-driven strategy and building deep client trust helped her agency thrive from its 2008 recession launch through today's market challenges. Episode Outline and Highlights [04:50] How Mary accidentally got into recruitment. [08:30] Critical foundations contributing to recruitment career longevity. [17:26] Building relationships and walking the talk: Mary's ingredients to success. [29:37] Mary is a science nerd and how she uses this quality to connect with clients. [39:43] How preparation and research in advance make it easy for May to connect with decision-makers for potential clients. [42:21] Adding value in your niche as a recruitment organization. [45:20] Quick fire questions. [49:27] Why Mary launched her podcast, MSLead Chronicles. [53:27] Mary shared one of the biggest roadblocks she had to overcome.   Critical Foundations in Billing $10M  Mary's 30+ years of experience demonstrates how becoming an industry expert enables proactive rather than reactive recruiting. Her biology degree and pharmaceutical specialization became powerful advantages in building a $10M+ billing desk. Her longevity in the industry and accomplishments in the pharmaceutical niche can be attributed to several foundational elements: Curiosity and Science-Driven Approach: She emphasized the importance of being a "nerd" about the industry you work in, highlighting her drive to learn everything about the pharmaceutical space. People-Centric Focus: While being a people person is essential, Mary combined this quality with deep industry expertise and strategic focus to excel in recruitment, a role that requires more than interpersonal skills. Relentless Drive and Discipline: Mary's strong work ethic and determination were inspired by her father, a Marine Corps officer with a 31-year career. His values of accountability, responsibility, and perseverance deeply influenced her approach to work.   These factors, combined with her adaptability, niche specialization, and focus on continuous learning, have solidified her position as a leader in the recruitment industry.   How to Add Value to Your Niche as a Recruitment Organization   “Well, if they're already niched, I think they owe it to themselves as well as to the candidates and clients that they're serving to be an expert in the space that they're niched in or that they claim to be niched in. You know, I think that's where the value comes it.” This statement summarizes Mary's mindset on adding value to your industry niche as a recruitment organization.   By investing in niche-specific knowledge and preparation, recruitment organizations can elevate their effectiveness and differentiate themselves in competitive markets. It also brings about the following benefits that Mary elaborated on in our discussion:   Enhanced Expertise and Credibility Anticipation of Objections Improved Candidate and Client Engagement Higher Placement Success Rates Efficiency in Communication Tailored Solutions Long-Term Industry Impact   One way Mary builds her credibility in her relevant niche (in addition to her longevity) is by hosting a podcast.   Comprehensive Information Gathering as Competitive Advantage  Mary's approach to information gathering goes far beyond standard job requirements. This thorough preparation becomes a key differentiator in her market. She can easily engage with potential clients' primary decision-makers, which results in optimum connection rates.   She shared the essential elements of her process:   Detailed initial client conversations beyond job descriptions Documentation of potential objections and prepared responses Collection of scientific/technical information candidates might question Market feedback about the company's reputation Preparation of selling points and challenge responses   These strategies directly contributed to Mary's ability to build a sustainable business that has thrived through multiple market downturns while maintaining premium fees averaging $50,000.   Mary Morton Bio & Contact Info   Mary began her recruiting career 30 years ago this coming March. For the last 25 years in the pharmaceutical industry. She owns SEMbio, a niche recruiting firm in field-based medical affairs, that she founded in 2008 with her longtime colleague and business partner, Nicole Evans. She has been a member of the Pinnacle Society for 7 years and runs a 360 desk that is primarily focused on account management, with personal billings above $10M over the last 15 years.
