On this episode, I’m bringing back John Anglis, who was featured early on in Episode #3. I have known John since 2011, when he was a one-man-show business owner working 80+ hours a week, struggling to get off the hamster wheel. He is now the owner of a very profitable, fast-growing multi-million dollar company that he works in just one day a week to fund his ideal lifestyle.
He’s done this by creating a system for selling that delivers consistent, predictable results. He has the sales presentation down to a science that is so good, I have to recommend him to my own clients! You’ll want to listen carefully as he shares his tools and techniques for success.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
The importance of crafting the right ‘story’;
Steps you can take to add more value to your business;
3 things you MUST do to be successful (it involves stepping out of your comfort zone;
The key question you have to ask yourself in your quest for top performers;
How you can charge more for your products and services and maintain (or even improve) your close rate.

For more FREE Wealthy Contractor resources go to www.TheWealthyContractor.com.
On this episode, we’re talking with Ty Adams who, like me, worked in the home improvement industry for many years before taking on his current role as a consultant. He’s now leveraging that hands-on experience and expertise in his firm Adams Business Results, Inc. to help contractors grow their businesses.
Also like me, when Ty was enjoying great success as the owner of a contracting business, he decided to expand in an aggressive fashion. But by expanding so rapidly, he soon found himself losing the riches he had gained and eventually had to close his business. While failure is certainly the first step toward success, today he is sharing his tips to help you avoid the same mistakes he made, so you’ll want to listen closely.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
The Importance In Making Good Hiring Decisions When Expanding Your Business
The #1 Problems Today’s Contractors Are Dealing With
Why You MUST Know Your Company’s EBITDA To Price Your Products And Services Properly
How To Stop Being A Manager And Become A Leader

Rex Kalamian - Ep. 56 - Success Habits Of Successful Leaders
Tuesday Nov 27, 2018
Tuesday Nov 27, 2018
On today's episode, we're talking with Rex Kalamian, First Assistant Coach for the L.A. Clippers basketball team. His career spans 25 years in the NBA, including his role in the dynasty created in Oklahoma with OKC Thunder.
Now you might be wondering why I've invited him to speak to us, given he is not a contractor and never has been. It will become very clear, very quickly because his experience is all about managing teams at the highest level. His career has exposed him to various management and leadership styles that have led to both success and failure.
As you listen to Rex talking about teams and players, apply the information to your own sales team (if you don't have a sales team yet, think about how it applies to you) Consider "game day" as any time you or your salespeople are in front of customers. Whether you're a basketball fan or not, I'm sure you'll enjoy this as much as I did.
