Matt Koop, Vice President and Founder of The New Flat Rate, brings decades of experience in home service contracting, having worked his way up from service technician roles in plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. Through deep industry insight and innovation, Matt helps contractors maximize profits, build customer trust, and prevent burnout by adopting modern, proactive service strategies. His company's automatic presentation systems empower contractors to close jobs faster, provide consistent pricing, and offer premium options that address customers' long-term needs—not just immediate fixes. Matt's mission centers on empowering contractors to support their families, maintain stable finances, and do work they are proud of, all while delivering real value to homeowners. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Matt shares how the information age changed the home services landscape—forcing contractors to adapt as savvy customers search for answers online and question traditional approaches. He explains the pitfalls of product-focused “good, better, best” options and introduces his proven system for presenting five tailored options for every job, ensuring both customer satisfaction and increased profitability. Matt's practical stories highlight the importance of proactive solutions, transparent communication, and aligning pricing with true business costs to create stable, thriving businesses that support contractors and their families. Quotes: “People want to buy the future. It's not just about solving a current problem, but about preventing the next one.” “In a confused mind, the answer is always no. Our job isn't just to educate, but to present options customers can understand and choose confidently.” “What got you here won't get you there. Contractors must adapt to today's market and rethink how they deliver value.” Resources: Visit Matt Koop's Website Connect with Matt Koop on LinkedIn Connect with Mark Koop on Facebook Follow Matt Koop on Instagram

On the show this week, I'm joined by renowned sales expert Mark Hunter—also known as "The Sales Hunter"—for a dynamic conversation about the powerful link between physical fitness and sales performance. Mark shares personal stories and actionable insights, drawing from decades of experience, including his global speaking and best-selling books like "A Mind for Sales" and "High Profit Prospecting." We explore how daily fitness habits foster energy, resilience, and relentless discipline—essential ingredients for thriving in the demanding world of professional sales. You'll hear real-world examples of how consistency in health routines translates directly to consistency and high-level achievement in sales, along with practical tips to help you start strong, stay motivated, and sharpen your competitive edge. Tune in as we challenge assumptions, debunk myths, and uncover why taking care of yourself just might be the ultimate sales superpower.  Outline of This Episode [00:00] Making life changes to help others as a salesperson  [04:14] Consistency in morning routines boosts focus and productivity throughout the day [07:30] Connection between self-care and the ability to care for clients and others [09:17] Fittest individuals outperform less fit versions of themselves [12:24] Scheduling workouts in the morning ensures discipline and consistency [14:37] When you're disciplined with your physical fitness routine, you're much more disciplined with everything else [20:16] Perseverance in sales mirrors workout persistence How Physical Fitness Powers Elite Sales Performance What if one of the most powerful tools for sales success is actually outside the boardroom and starts in your own living room or at the gym? Mark Hunter has observed firsthand how physical fitness isn't just about looking good—it's about performing better. He outlines the direct benefits: increased energy, sharper listening skills, better time management, and confidence. For Mark, starting each day with a fitness routine is non-negotiable. When you're physically fit, you are far more productive with how you use your time. This productivity transfer is crucial in sales, where consistent effort compounds into extraordinary results. Mark associates his discipline in fitness directly with his ability to maintain consistency in prospecting, following up, and closing deals. If you can't be consistent with how you treat yourself, you won't be consistent throughout the day. There's a feedback loop between self-care and professional reliability. Mark Hunter's Morning Blueprint for a Winning Day Mark doesn't just advocate for fitness—he lives it. His daily morning routine begins two hours before his first "official" work activity. In that time, he lifts weights for around 13-14 minutes, does 100 sit-ups, and runs two to three miles. This isn't about setting world records but about setting himself up for success. What's interesting is his multitasking approach: during workouts, he regularly listens to podcasts at double speed, sharpening his focus and learning as he trains his body. There's also a crucial mental component—time for meditation and gratitude—which Mark credits with helping him stay grounded and positive. The Ripple Effects: Fitness and Emotional Resilience Beyond physical health, Mark outlines how exercise strengthens mental resilience and stress management—the unsung heroes of sales performance. He admits there are days when motivation lags or the routine feels tedious, but consistency pays off in unexpected ways. The discipline to show up for himself each morning translates directly to discipline in client interactions and follow-through. Paul adds his own experience: if he skips his morning swim, patience decreases and excuses creep in. Both agree that morning routines eliminate the possibility of procrastination and help salespeople develop the resilience to weather rejection and setbacks that the job inevitably brings. Discipline, Not Perfection One of the most prevalent challenges sales professionals face is just "finding the time." Mark's advice: Schedule self-care like you would any critical business appointment. Putting exercise first reduces the risk that the demands of the day will crowd it out. Whether it's a run, swim, or other activity, consistency is the secret weapon.  For those who worry they're shortchanging work for fitness, Mark flips the narrative: investment in well-being pays immediate dividends in energy, productivity, and creativity. Sales, after all, is a game of stamina. Your Health Is Your Edge Maybe you're not training for a marathon. Maybe you don't see yourself as an athlete. But, as both Paul and Mark emphasize, the fittest, healthiest version of yourself will always outperform the least fit version. The key takeaway? "If you can't be disciplined with yourself, why are you in sales?" Mark asks. "Success comes from discipline." Consistent self-care—mental, emotional, and physical—isn't just "nice-to-have." It's the fuel for creative thinking, laser focus, and the emotional durability needed to thrive in today's demanding sales environment. Salespeople who integrate regular fitness into their lives don't just see improvements in energy and health—they're tougher, more focused, and better equipped to serve clients. Every sales pro should start their path to peak performance before the day's first call: by putting themselves first.

The conversation highlights the free marketing resources available through the "25C Means Business" program, sponsored by the North American Insulation Manufacturers Association (NAIMA). This program offers contractors professionally developed, urgency-focused marketing materials and even website support at no cost. Allison and Troast also explore the broader market shifts, including the decline in new construction and the corresponding opportunity in the retrofit market. They also cover the major changes in how homeowners find contractors due to the rise of AI in search engines and what contractors need to do to adapt. The 25C Tax Credit Ends This Year: The 25C tax credit is still available for projects completed in 2025, creating a powerful, scarcity-driven marketing message for contractors. Free Marketing with the "25C Means Business" Program: NAIMA is sponsoring a program that provides free content and web support to help contractors capitalize on the expiring tax credit. Pivoting to Retrofit Amidst New Construction Decline: With new housing starts facing a downturn, insulation contractors have a prime opportunity to diversify into the residential retrofit market. Adapting to AI in Customer Searches: Homeowner search habits are changing, shifting from keywords to conversational questions. Contractors must adapt their online content to this trend, a practice now known as "generative engine optimization.". New Lead Generation with Google's Local Services Ads: Google is expanding its pay-per-lead "Local Services Ads" platform to include insulation contractors, offering a new and effective marketing channel.

Boost Sales Without Spending a Dime with Tracy Beavers   Why “More Sales” Isn't Fixing Your Profit Problem (And What It's Really Costing You) Ever wondered why your revenue is growing, but your bank account still feels empty? You're not alone. Most business owners equate more sales with more profit, only to find themselves in the same cycle of financial stress. The truth? Sales without strategy create a dangerous illusion of success—and the hidden cost is your peace of mind, cash flow, and ultimately, your business's survival.   The pain goes deeper: Financial Cost: Ballooning expenses, zero clarity on where money goes, and the constant scramble to cover payroll. Emotional Cost: Late-night anxiety, decision fatigue, and the nagging thought—“Why am I working so hard for so little?" This episode of The Profit Answer Man peels back the layers of that illusion and gives you actionable steps to stop chasing revenue and start building true profit stability.   In This Episode, You'll Learn How To: Apply Profit First principles to regain control of your cash flow and eliminate money stress. Build a sales strategy that fuels profit instead of just increasing workload. Identify the hidden costs in your business model that erode margins—before they sink you. Create systems to move from hustle mode to sustainable, scalable growth. Protect your financial future with small, strategic changes that compound over time.   Key Takeaways: 3 Costly Blind Spots Stealing Your Profits Sales Obsession Over Profit Clarity – Chasing more revenue without analyzing margins creates cash flow chaos. Neglecting Simple Systems – Without processes, scaling multiplies inefficiencies (and headaches). No Financial Guardrails – Using your bank balance as a budget leads to feast-and-famine cycles.   Meet Our Guest: Tracy Beavers With over 20 years of award-winning sales and marketing experience, Tracy left the corporate world to help entrepreneurs build businesses they love—without sacrificing profitability. As the owner of three businesses, a business and sales coach, and a creator of the “Be a Confident Entrepreneur” program, Tracy understands the real struggles business owners face when trying to grow without losing their sanity (or their cash).

Chasing more sales without a plan for profitability is the fastest way to end up exhausted and broke, even when your revenue chart looks great. By embracing systems like Profit First, creating clear financial guardrails, and focusing on strategies that align sales with profit, you can build a business that actually supports your life instead of draining it. #ProfitFirst #CashFlow #SmallBusinessTips #BusinessGrowth #EntrepreneurMindset #ScalingUp #ProfitPlanning   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

Ready to supercharge your TPT sales? Whether you're trying to hit a specific income goal or looking for sustainable ways to boost your store's performance, these five actionable strategies can help you drive meaningful results without burning out.Flash sales remain the gold standard for quick revenue boosts, but there's a science to doing them right. The sweet spot isn't necessarily the deepest discount—Lauren explains why a strategic 24-48 hour sale on product lines or bundles often outperforms dramatic price slashing. The common assumption that halving your prices will double your sales rarely holds true, making smart pricing crucial to your success.For sellers looking to move wishlisted items or encourage larger purchases, the free gift strategy creates irresistible incentives. This approach works especially well during seasonal periods, offering immediate value that teachers can implement in their classrooms right away. Lauren breaks down exactly how to implement this on TPT despite platform limitations, including tiered rewards that encourage bigger spends.What about sellers without established audiences? The collaborative hashtag sale strategy opens doors even for newcomers. By partnering with 8-10 sellers in your specific niche and coordinating discounts under a searchable term, you can leverage others' audiences while contributing organizational value. The key insight: keeping participant groups relatively small ensures your resources appear on that crucial first page of search results.Perhaps most valuable is Lauren's approach to seasonal resource optimization—a strategy that delivers immediate sales while building assets that generate revenue year after year. Creating multiple themed resources with varied SEO approaches provides market insights while increasing your chances of ranking well during peak seasonal searches.Subscribe now for next week's episode on "Smart TPT Trades" where Lauren will reveal strategies for trading with other sellers to save money and increase visibility for your resources—perfect for both new and established TPT entrepreneurs!Check Out My YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/c/laurenfultonMy Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/laurentschappler/My Other YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@LaurenATschFree Rebranded Teacher Facebook Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/749538092194115 Support the show

You know those moments in business where things suddenly feel a little too quiet? Maybe the inquiries slow down, sales dip, or your calendar just isn't as packed as usual. It can feel unsettling, especially when you're not sure why it's happening or how long it's going to last.  The truth is, EVERY entrepreneur hits those slower seasons. In my business, summer tends to be our slow season. Depending on what you do, it may be around the holidays, or in the Fall. Having busy and slow seasons is a natural part of running a business. The most important thing is for us to make the most out of these ebbs and flows to prepare for when things pick back up again. That's why today I'm bringing back a conversation that originally aired a few years ago about four strategies I lean on when things slow down in my own business. They're timeless, practical, and focused on helping you use these quieter times to your advantage! So whether you're currently feeling the weight of a slower season or just want to be prepared for the next one, this episode is packed with four simple yet effective ways to reignite momentum and boost your sales.
