  Episode #176

  Rates went up again. Ring your clients before the bank does. | Ep 176

  Sep 30, 202624 min

  The RBA lifted the cash rate again yesterday. If you have a client borrowing for their build, or releasing equity to fund it, the bank can still change the rate on that loan at the final hour. Most builders will wait to hear about it. A few will pick up the phone first. In this week's episode of the Inspired Builders Show, JP and Corne break down The Front Foot Call, the conversation to have with every borrowing client this week: the maths done for them, the value managing options ready, and the trust that comes from being the one who rang first. They also cover The Which Means Rule, JP's fix for the jargon habit he caught himself in twice on the same job. Also in this episode: a builder win from Coffs Harbour, a client of five and a half years who went from carports and small renos to a full senior leadership team and hit two five year visions in four years. And why a referral is not a done deal anymore, including what three clients over 60 admitted when the team rang them. Corne mentions How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie.

  Episode #175

  They loved the design. Then they saw your build price. | Ep 175

  Sep 21, 202631 min

  A client falls in love with a design before they ever meet you. You price it properly, it lands way over their number, and the job dies right there. Builders lose work every week over things the client never needed. In this episode of the Inspired Builders Show, JP and Corne break down Must-Haves and Nice-To-Haves, a way to design to the client's number and walk them through the quote so they can see every box ticked. The example is a million-dollar brief that came in at $960,000, wine cellar included. Also in this one: a 2020 case study that is still winning work, a home show video nobody could hear, and JP's own proposal that got forwarded with FYI on top. Plus speed to lead, what to do with an enquiry below your usual budget, and a camping trip with a six-year-old that covered nine and a half kilometres. The line about how kids spell love comes from Dan Martell. Find him on YouTube and on The Martell Method podcast. https://www.youtube.com/@danmartell Dads, if you want in on the next camp with the kids, email jp@bizvideo.com.au with "Camp" in the subject line. Tell us in the comments how you present your quotes. Do you email them, or sit down with the client? New episode every week.

  Episode #174

  He was 10% dearer than the next quote. The clients signed anyway. | Ep 174

  Sep 14, 202626 min

  One of our builders shared a win with JP on Friday. Two new projects, one for his next door neighbour and one just down the road. Here is the part worth sitting with. On the neighbour's home, a new build in the $1.5 to $2 million range, he was 10% dearer than the next builder, and the clients signed with him anyway. When he explains why, he barely mentions the quote. He talks about his process, and about everything the clients had seen before the price ever landed. In this episode of the Inspired Builders Show, JP and Corne break down The Ambassador Send, a pen and paper exercise built on the same idea. The people who refer you are already selling you, so give them the story that does the educating before the price arrives. Right now they are doing it empty-handed. Also on the show. A supplier rep who rang a builder just to say his video was amazing, and what that call actually signals. $10,000 government incentives on 32,000 new apprentices, plus the runway that keeps them past year one. And the doorman fallacy, where cutting an $80,000 doorman cost a hotel far more than it saved. The apprentice incentive Corne shared on screen: https://ministers.dewr.gov.au/giles/32000-new-apprentice-tradies-get-their-start-building-more-homes-backed-10k-incentives The doorman fallacy comes from the advertising writer Rory Sutherland.

  Episode #172

  Builders profit and pricing with Russ from APB | Ep 172

  Sep 1, 20261h 26m

  What happens when an entire industry realizes everything they believed about profit and pricing was wrong? Builders often feel isolated, competing on price and mistaking high cash flow for profitability. This episode is about exposing the shocking false beliefs and financial errors holding thousands of Australian builders back. What if you could adopt the mindset and systems of the top 1% of performers and achieve reliable, double-digit net profit margins? In this episode of the Inspired Builders Podcast, Corné and JP sit down with Russ from the Association of Professional Builders (APB), who shares data from their annual industry report. We explore the massive shifts in mindset and strategy that are required to move beyond burnout and build the predictable business you deserve. Russ's story is a must-listen for any builder looking to break through limitations and transform their business into a high-performance asset. You'll learn: - How to correctly calculate your WIP (Work in Progress) – The single most important calculation that 89% of builders get wrong, creating a huge hidden liability. - The power of the Construction Slot Strategy – How limiting your supply creates urgency and allows you to increase your margins without being "salesy." - Why reinvesting 3% of your revenue back into marketing is the sweet spot – And how that investment leads to higher net margins than relying solely on referrals.

  Inspired Builders Podcast

  You'll get there either way. Redlining is optional. | Ep 170

  Aug 25, 202618 min

  Corne and JP both rode Brisbane to the Gold Coast this year, ninety eight kilometres with thousands of others on the start line. Corne crossed in two hours thirty five, which is roughly where he always lands. His average heart rate was 178. Every other year it has sat around 160. JP came in about sixteen minutes off, and was surprised it wasn't worse given how he felt on the day. Same times on the clock as usual. Nothing like the same ride. That gap was decided in the weeks before the start line, not on the road. In episode 170 of the Inspired Builders Show, JP and Corne break down The Failure List, a ten minute exercise for naming every reason your next goal falls over, then separating the reasons you can actually do something about. It comes from Charlie Munger's inversion model, pointed at a building business. Also in this one, a builder who shifted his marketing over the last eighteen months and is now quoting from a position where he wins either way. There is a run at why trades and suppliers reaching out is worth as much as an enquiry, a Grant Cardone point about who your content is really for, and the case for looking after supplier relationships long before the day you need to ring someone.
