When we started Breakthrough Academy 10 years ago, business coaching for contractors wasn’t particularly common.


Most of the contractors we talked to had never considered coaching and really didn’t know what it was.


Today, business coaching has skyrocketed in popularity, and as a result there are a TON of choices out there for contractors.


So…if you’re considering coaching… HOW do you make a decision?


Today, we’re joined by Brendon Toyne, our Head of Sales at BTA who’s personally talked to thousands of contractors during their decision-making process.


In this episode, we explore what to consider before signing on with a coach, but we also talk more broadly about how to make smart business decisions when it comes to working with key vendors that will propel your business forward. 


Episode Highlights:

  • Hear about the rise of business coaching for contractors and why there is now so much choice out there for those seeking coaching or consulting solutions.
  • Understand the difference between coaching, consulting, online communities and other solutions.
  • Get Brendon’s tips on making the right choice about coaching solutions, based on his experience guiding thousands of contractors through the decision making process.
