Wendy and Paul, two former academics turned trades business owners, faced the growing pains most of us face in the construction industry - no reliable systems, constant overwhelm, and stalled growth.

Despite being four years into running their business, they lacked the right structure in sales, marketing, leadership, and pricing. Like many others, everything still funnelled back through them.

That’s when they joined The Professional Builder.

In this powerful episode, Coach Carla reveals the exact blueprint Wendy and Paul used to transform their trades business in just 4 months.

Tune in to discover how they:

- Overhauled their sales process for predictable growth

- Boosted team performance and accountability

- Created a lead pipeline with 12+ quality leads

- Implemented proven systems for scaling a trades-based company

If you're a construction business owner or trades professional struggling with team alignment, broken systems, or stagnant lead flow - this episode is a must-watch.

You’ll walk away with practical insights on building systems that free up your time, align your team for better execution and leading your business with confidence.

You’ll also understand how to fix your pricing, sales, and marketing once and for all.
