EP21: Don’t Be an Order Taker

Tonight's Episode

Don’t get caught in the trap of thinking that being a business owner means you need to be a doormat in order to please everyone. Listen up for a big mindset shift you need to make!

In this episode, we talk about…

  • Why you might be tempted to give every person that calls you an estimate - but you shouldn’t waste your time until you’ve pre-qualified people.
  • How money can tempt you to begin taking on services outside the scope of your business, and why you should avoid this.
  • Why if a client is giving you red flags, you need to take action early on in the process.
  • Some examples of stories the guys have had with difficult clients who wanted them to be order takers.
  • How to handle special requests that come in from customers.
  • Various ways that working with a customer is like a marriage, including that it is an equal partnership with mutual benefits.
  • How the professionals in the Profit Club group are a great support system to help you take ownership of yourself, learn, and grow.
