It's time to fire up the WWE Network, press mute, and relive the... well... the not so good days of WCW in 1994. When you think of WCW don't you always think of Brutus Beefcake, the Honky Tonk Man, Hacksaw, and Earthquake? Me either. Well they're here now but guess who's not? Ric Flair.

Hogan's huge contract is set to expire at the end of the year, Savage is negotiating to come in, and there's a shakeup in the booking committee. Meanwhile Missy Hyatt is suing, Steamboat is fired, house shows are drawing 600 paid, Crockett is trying to start back up, the graphics department thinks Sherri is managing everyone, oh and Dave Sullivan is in the main event.

Know your numbers! You've heard it here at least a million times. “Keeping score” is one leg of the three-legged stool of your business, and one of the most important numbers is your gross profit. The roofing business is packed with ups and downs around your cash flow, and you need to navigate that ride with the right approach. Join us to learn more in today's show! Diane Gilson created Info Plus Accounting in 1994 to help business owners. She has created many workshops and classes for contractors and is recognized as a top expert in her field. She is Dave's go-to financial guru, and she returns to today's show with more expert advice. Diane knows the numbers of the roofing business inside and out, and she loves to teach others how to handle the month-to-month rollercoaster of gross profit. Before our interview with Diane, hear the conversation between Dave and John DeLaurier about a specific job of John's that went south quickly with a customer who was impossible to please–and how John handled the situation. On the other hand, he shares the success of a big job that is going well and staying well under budget. Dave gives insight into a consulting job of his on a huge, multimillion-dollar commercial roofing project.

Your A-players are everything! They are one factor that can have the biggest impact on your business success. Many contractors make the mistake of keeping sub-par employees around with the excuse that there aren't good workers out there–but there are! They are working for someone else, so you have to go find them! Efforts to recruit, train, and retain A-players should always be happening in your business. Join us to learn more in today's show! I'm joined by Paul Sannenman, the founder of Dream Business Coaching. He is a construction business coach who has coached over 400 companies in the last 30 years. He helps clients make more money in less time–and have more FUN. With his refined expertise and wisdom, Paul shares with us his knowledge of the ins and outs of successful recruiting to bring in A-players. What you'll hear in this episode: Before the interview with Paul, Dave replays a clip from his Short Business Tips series from a couple of years ago: “Why You, as a Roofing Contractor, Should Be Watching Shark Tank.” Watching Shark Tank will help you: Learn to hone your perspective on business success by asking, “What am I selling? What problems does my business solve? What differentiates me from my competition?” Learn why you MUST know your numbers! How Paul developed his coaching business and recruiting expertise Why you need a good applicant tracking system and a good assessment to determine who the best people are Why the wrong hiring decision can cost you up to $50k Why keep employees who set a low bar for your culture and your corporate values?? The easy #1 question to ask to determine who an A-player is: “If I had to start over, would I hire this person back?” Why it's WAY cheaper to pay a recruiter than to hire the wrong person! How Paul uses recruiting assessments and video interviews Why a values fit is more important than a skills fit Why the right ad is key in recruiting What it costs to use a recruiter Paul's #1 tip for contractors: Recruit all the time!

Most of the time it was a leak that was causing problems. We ended up developing The Perfect 10 Checklist and sent an inspector to the job site at the end of every job to assess how well the crew did the top 10 things that caused leaks. If they scored a Perfect 10, then the crew got a bonus. We were able to cut our callbacks by 90% with this simple checklist. It also cut our costs and improved customer satisfaction. It's a win-win.

Are you ready to see your sales numbers skyrocket? This is the show for you! We have talked for months about doing a show about the best sales process that we teach in our coaching program. My co-host, John DeLaurier, and I developed this process after many years of trial and error in the roofing business. The point is that a smart guy doesn't learn from his own mistakes but from the mistakes of others. Think of us as your crash test dummies who have been there, done that, and made the mistakes–and now we can teach you how to do it right! Join us to learn more about how your sales process can build a solid foundation for your roofing business to grow and thrive!

How John describes the structure of DeLaurier Roofing and how he handles relationships with his subcontractors Why your marketing plan needs to be firmly committed to spending 5% of your total revenue to secure a high lead flow Why your prequalification process is essential to a good lead flow How a good CRM (not a file folder system!) makes everything about your sales process more efficient How a pre-meeting sales sheet helps you pre-sell the job and separate yourself from the competition How to ask open-ended questions at the site meeting to find out from the customer how to make the sale How an automated appointment confirmation system adds professionalism, allows you to “seed the review,” and adds another level of touch to the sale How to handle the roof inspection, which is the precursor to the proposal Why the follow-up process should include texts, emails, and calls with both manual and automated contacts Resources: Time is running out!
