Ever wonder why some contractors scale smoothly to 7-figures and beyond while others constantly get stuck in an operational hellhole?

Clients constantly badgering you…

Crews relying on you to answer every single question…

Margins so depressing they could make a grown man cry…

The good news is, there’s a relatively simple tool that can help you solve most of your operational challenges.

SOPs (standard operating procedures).

A while back, I co-hosted a comprehensive SOP web class with the one and only Matt Risinger, CEO of Risinger Build and founder of the Build Show Network. We covered everything you need to know about SOPs, based on Breakthrough Academy’s work with over 1500 contractors and Matt Risinger’s own experience scaling two massive companies.

Today, we’re releasing that class as a podcast episode so more contractors can benefit from Matt’s insights.

Episode Highlights:

• Hear about Matt Risinger’s SOP journey, including the time the lack of an SOP resulted in a 6-figure mistake.
• Get a step-by-step walkthrough of how to build SOPs for your company.
• Learn how to manage change when implementing SOPs with your team, so that they actually get used as intended.
