“Anytime a salesperson is in front of a buyer, that buyer is asking themselves why, based off all the options available to me, should I buy from you?

“Buyers don't want to get pitched. They want to know they can trust you. They want to know that you understand what's going on in their environment. They want to know that you actually can solve their thing, and they don't want to make a mistake.”   Chris Duprey, Chief Customer Officer at Impact   Vulnerability and transparency are hard traits to display for all of us, much less a for-profit business.

Tough customer questions create awkward situations, even as salespeople miss the point of selling.   Chris Duprey of IMPACT enthusiastically proposes a buyer-centric vision for sales. Why not meet objections head-on? Why not get ahead of the curve on price, quality, and common objections? Buyers ruthlessly research products and services ahead of time, and they should.

“There are 10 billion face-to-face conversations in a commercial capacity between consumers and sales and service marketing people every single month. And I said, what if we could take all those conversations and make the offline world, the commercial world, as searchable and easy to analyze and understand as Google did for the Web?”   Sebastian Jimenez, Founder of Rillavoice   Sales is a simple profession on the surface; a salesperson touts a product's or solution's features and benefits to a customer. The sales conversation does much of the heavy lifting, explaining the competitive advantage, company story, and list of benefits in detail. Training people to perform this successfully takes extensive time and effort, a limiting factor for growth.   However, Sebastian Jimenez felt that AI's growing capability could speed this process up by harnessing thousands and even millions of sales conversations.

“Roofers protect everything you hold dear. It deserves respect and we have to start standing up and saying we are not just roofers.

“I just want everybody to embrace health and safety as a tool of your business that's going to make you money. And it's actually going to improve the quality and the standard of your work and that, you know, you will attract really good people to your business if you have a reputation for safety.”    -Gavin Coyle, CEO of the Coyle Group   For many of us, health and safety bring to mind bureaucracy and process, a long list of rules to follow, procedures to implement, and equipment to buy and maintain. Yet, we know that safety is integral to business; it keeps our workers protected from harm and our job sites from being a hazard to all involved.   Gavin Coyle sees greater depth in workplace safety; he believes focusing on it can increase profitability, marketability, and reliability for any size company. With a consulting group that creates safety plans for contractors of all sizes, Gavin captured these ideas in his book, Workplace Safety On a Budget: How to stop and prevent accidents and injuries without sacrificing the bottom line.   Listen in as Gavin explains how a safe workplace can transform your business and be cost-effective and sustainable.   Topics discussed in this interview: - ChatGPT/Google Bard - Gavin's target market, his wheelhouse - His inspiration to enter health and safety - Defining accidents that cemented Gavin's career choice - Adjusting to regulations based on location - Elevating safety choices regardless of standard - Implementing a safety plan early is necessary - How do attitudes differ on safety from country to country? - Better safety leads to more profit - Serving contractors of all sizes - Building in company-wide accountability - Safety as a marketable quality - Rapid fire questions   Network with Gavin on LinkedIn, check out his book Workplace Safety On A Budget: How to stop and prevent accidents and injuries without sacrificing the bottom line and visit his site, gavin-coyle.com.

“I hated watching a lot of these smaller companies losing money, going out of business unnecessarily time and time again. They just didn't understand how to do the contractual part of the construction game properly. You can absolutely deliver a really, really good job, do a great, fantastic piece of work for your clients, and still come out at a loss because you didn't manage it contractually properly.” -Cian Brennan, Managing Director at Quantum Contract Solutions When many contractors start their companies, they come from a place of experience. They've built up a business from long hours on the site and a good understanding of what it takes to deliver a successful project to their clients. What they often aren't comfortable with is deciphering the contracts that come along with those jobs. This inflection point is where Cian Brennan and Quantum Contract Solutions step in to provide clarity and confidence in the contractual process. Cian started out working in construction himself and was inspired to be the help so many people need.

“Selling is not an art. It is a structured science. Now, when it's done right, it looks artful, but it's not like this free form, like taking a blank canvas and painting a new picture for each customer. We can't afford that inefficiency today. We need to have structures and processes to make us both more efficient and more effective in getting it done.”   - Jim Pancero, Sales Speaker and Thought Leader   When you hear the word ‘system,' several thoughts might start racing through your head.

“A client said to Frank Lloyd Wright, ‘You know, of course, you're famous; all your clients are rich.' And he scowled and said, ‘I don't care whether I'm doing a chicken coop.

“If you hear a smoke alarm, get out and worry about it being a false alarm later, come back in, laugh, cry, get angry about it. But you get to do those things now.” -Derek Gruchy, Program Coordinator at Seneca College of Fire Protection Engineering Technology Many of us might remember being taught to “Stop, drop, and roll” in school or being excited to get out of class for a fire drill with fretting teachers corralling rowdy kids into neat lines. Or maybe it was an accidental emergency with burnt food setting off the fire alarm. Whatever the case, fire is a (thankfully) rare part of our lives. Unfortunately, this rarity leads to unfamiliarity. We are often unprepared for fire, and fire safety continues to evolve as we learn from our mistakes. Especially in the building industry, changing materials and techniques require careful understanding for the best fire safety. Join us as expert Derek Gruchy shares insights on human behavior during fires, modern materials, fire safety, perspective on historical fires, and even tips you can implement immediately.

“We just need to figure out how to work better with the world around us. I think these hemp materials, natural building in general, is a way to move towards that so we can both have our great comforts that we've become accustomed to and work in harmony with our environment.” -Jacob Waddell, President of the Hemp Building Institute Construction is a stubborn field, as most people know. Despite this, hundreds, if not thousands, of attempts have been made to introduce new and innovative materials, processes, and solutions. Some of these ideas find their footing and find varying levels of success with customers and contractors. Jacob Waddell and the Hemp Building Institute believe that hemp can be one of those successes. Hemp, and the most popular form hempcrete, offer unique advantages over traditional construction materials. While green building continues to grow in popularity, hempcrete's carbon-negative nature offsets the many carbon-positive building elements. Perhaps the biggest advantage is the inherent insulation value it offers. Listen in as Jacob shares an inside look at the state of hemp as a building material, from code adoption to manufacturing to what the future holds. Topics discussed in this interview:- The upcoming Metal Roofing Summit- Upcoming goals of the Hemp Building Institute- What is hempcrete, and what are its uses?- Is hemp sustainable?- Jacob's experience empowering HBI's efforts- Bringing hemp construction over from Europe- Cost and efficacy testing of hemp- Other hemp building products and use cases- The IRC code adoption process- Collecting and comparing data on hemp buildings- Potential for job creation- Rapid fire questions To follow the Hemp Building Institute's efforts, visit hempbuildinginstitute.org, follow them on Facebook, or email Jacob@hempbuildinginstitute.org.For more Construction Disruption, listen on Apple Podcasts or YouTubeConnect with us on Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedInThis episode was produced by Isaiah Industries, Inc.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrpChartable - https://chartable.com/privacy
