In the latest episode of the R-Value podcast, IDI's Ken Allison welcomes Peter Troast from Energy Circle. They discuss the critical, time-sensitive opportunity for insulation contractors with the 25C tax credit, which is confirmed to be ending after 2025. Troast explains how contractors can and should be creating a sense of urgency to get jobs scheduled and completed before the end of the year. 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.

In this episode of Grow a Small Business, host Troy Trewin interviews Jason Kramer from Cultivate discusses his entrepreneurial journey, starting with a graphic design business before founding his current CRM strategy consultancy. He highlights the impressive growth of Cultivate, averaging 15 to 30% annually and expanding his team. Jason shares valuable insights into CRM strategy for nurturing leads and demonstrating marketing ROI, emphasising the importance of understanding your target audience. He also offers advice on key aspects of business growth, including hiring, the significance of work-life balance, and lessons learned from his experiences. Jason also touches upon the importance of good financial management and the "Profit First" methodology. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Jason Kramer, the hardest things in growing a small business are finding quality people who are reliable, dependable experts with good communication skills. He also notes that juggling all the different aspects of the business can be difficult for some, though less so for him due to his organised approach. Reflecting on his early days, Jason would advise himself to seek out those who have experience and made mistakes to learn from them and accelerate success. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Jason Kramer's favourite business book is "Profit First" by Mike Michalowicz. He states that this book has significantly impacted how they manage cash flow in their business using a system of multiple bank accounts. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Jason Kramer recommends Donald C Kelly's podcast, "The Sales Evangelist", for valuable techniques and ideas. He also finds Jeff Blanto's "Sales Gravy" sometimes interesting. Additionally, Jason's company, Cultivate, offers "Profit Path", a tool with coaching and ebooks for tracking leads and marketing ROI. The "Grow Small Business Podcast" itself, hosted by Troy Trewin, who interviewed Jason, is also a relevant resource, with a past episode featuring Mike Michalowicz, author of "Profit First". What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Jason Kramer recommends The Sales Evangelist podcast by Donald C. Kelly for practical, actionable sales techniques and Sales Gravy by Jeb Blount for insightful tips on business and selling. He also highlights the importance of mixing in some non-business content for balance, like Conan O'Brien's podcast, which he enjoys for its humor and engaging interviews. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Jason Kramer's advice to his day-one self would be: “It's going to be a hell of a ride, unexpected but worth it.” He emphasizes the importance of learning from those who've gone before — seeking out people who've made mistakes and grown from them, so you can fast-track your own success by avoiding common pitfalls.
