I want to thank you for helping me restructure my business to operate as a successful business, more efficient in addition to being more profitable. Although it takes a little time, in the end, my success will be partly attributed to CPR . . . I see light at the end of the tunnel, I have used this once so far on a job won, $160,000. total estimate, during 12 weeks, my employees and myself took home paychecks, paid subs, bought materials, without ever having to ‘Finance’ the job . . .

I have been working in residential alterations and renovations 15yrs. I am starting a contracting framing and siding business of my own and love what Micheal has to offer for business management training. I took your one hour Markup and Profits class and it was beneficial. I plan to take the rest . . . I have been looking all over in my area for the type of training you provide and can’t find it anywhere.

I had no idea the wealth of information you put into Profitable Sales! I couldn’t read fast enough so I also bought the audio…I’m only up to chapter 8 but thanks to you and the information you packed in, my sales skills are being honed and polished on a daily basis…I am almost numb at how you’ve helped me grow our business…If I’d had your teaching 30 years ago, we’d be millionaires by now. Oh well, I’ll take it now, at 50 years of age.

Thank you for making life a lot easier for us all. I have enjoyed learning a lot from markup and profit and well almost the whole book is now covered with highlighter and pen from making notes to help refer back to when needed. It has to be the best contractor book I have ever read or seen on the market. It’s real and the numbers don’t lie and you have the background to prove it. Thank you very, very much Michael!!

I would like to say a big Thank You for the “Markup and Profit” and “Profitable Sales” books. Although my business is only a few years old, I have already run into so many of the challenges and pitfalls described in the books, and am extremely grateful to have a bunch of new solutions and ideas to work with. No more time and materials! The damn job has to be planned, and I have to be paid to plan it!! Love it, great stuff.

I wanted to just send a message and say thank you for your generosity and help hearing me out this morning on my issues with my current client. I always defer to the approach taught in your books and have become a better more profitable business person for it. I am still a young, growing, and perpetually learning GC and feel like I am ahead of the curve by adopting your approach so early on.

I and my team have been so encouraged and guided by your insight for many years now. I end this year very grateful for all your faithful influence over our entire operation. Michael, I can vividly remember, and often reflect on my first desperate conversation with you. It was truly a turning point for me. I can honestly say that no other single outside influence has made such a positive impact on how we run, what is now, a thriving, healthy and profitable construction business.

I would like to tell you how thankful I am that you guys’ life journey brought you to educating contractors on the business of construction. . . . When I would have questions about how to price the work, what to do when etc., I would google it. When I would get in to quality information it would invariably be one of your websites. Once I noticed the trend of where the good info was coming from, I purchased markup and profit. That book has served as the manual for running this company. It has been a priceless resource for me so thank you very much.

I recently purchased your book “Markup and Profit” and love reading your newsletters every chance I get . . . I want to thank you for helping small contracting companies like ours succeed by giving us the necessary tools and resources. After reading your book I knew that sustainable growth was in our future and that we needed a shared vision to maintain direction and inspire our current and new Teammates. Thank you for helping us grow.

I want to start by saying, THANK YOU, for writing Markup & Profit Revisited. I have an MBA and we literally spent years learning to dissect financial statements, but they didn’t teach us how to use those numbers to run a profitable business . . . The basics presented in your book are applicable to any business. I especially appreciate the time dedicated to “wrong math” and why it’s wrong. That’s very helpful.

I wanted to take a moment and reach out to you and say thank you for taking the time to educate us. We are a restoration company and over the years, we have used several vendors for our education in the past, none of which have left us eager to learn more. We have taken several of your classes for our continuing education and found them very engaging and informative. We will continue using your site for our future educational needs.

Thank you to you and Michael for your incredible resources. I have become a dedicated reader of your books and blogs and have recently purchased the Profitable Estimating online class which is excellent as well.
I worked for my father’s home building company for a few years and just recently my wife and I branched off to start our own remodeling and home design company. I feel confident (still a little scared 😉 in running the business thanks to all of your great resources.
