EPISODE 381: Are you stuck in the cycle of chasing leads, negotiating, estimating, and following up—while your team takes a back seat? It’s time to fire yourself from sales.

In this week’s episode, I share seven compelling reasons why construction business owners should let go of sales to drive business growth.

If you’re constantly handling all the sales in your business, you’re holding yourself back—whether you realize it or not.

I’ll break down how staying in sales makes your business fragile and limits its growth potential. Plus, you’ll discover how to build a real “Sales Machine” that keeps your business running even without you.

If you’re ready to step into your CEO role and get out of the sales prison, this one’s for you.

Let’s dive in!
