PROFESSIONAL BUILDER SECRETS PODCAST

Episode 115: Competing With Project Builders With Andy Skarda

Good marketing enters the conversation that's already going on in the customer's mind... You're looking for that customer who's saying, 'I want to build but I don't want to go through what I went through the last time.'

Professional Builders Secrets brings you an exclusive episode with Andy Skarda, Head Coach at APB. Throughout this episode, Andy explores project builders, how they remain so competitive in the industry, and what you can do as a custom home builder to win jobs despite what average consumers might see as ‘great value’ coming from them.

  • How to create a point of difference for your building company
  • Why you shouldn’t compete with project builders
  • The importance of your marketing
