  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.

  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.

  Five deals you think are dead. They're not. | Ep 168

  Aug 18, 202633 min

  Somewhere in your system there is a list of people who asked about building with you and never heard back properly. Not because you did not care. Because it slipped. Most builders write those off as tyre kickers. They are usually just people who felt ignored. In episode two of the Inspired Builders Show, JP and Corne break down The Ghost List, a seven-day process for reopening five dead deals without pitching anyone. We also look at why referrals hit a ceiling long before most builders notice, and what you can do manually this week to get more people talking about you. We highlight a Sunshine Coast builder whose case study is about time with his family rather than turnover, and the idea underneath it, which is who, not how. Then there is the fencing company that invented a builder who owed them money, just to get people to look at their work. Whether you walk into a room as an amplifier or a vampire. And why scrolling other builders' feeds is costing you more than time. That last one comes from Tim Sayce at Kai Konstruct, on his podcast Foundations and Futures. Worth your time if you are not already across it. https://www.youtube.com/@foundations_futures We built a one-page cheat sheet for The Ghost List. Where to look for old deals, what to say first, and how to follow up without it feeling like chasing. Give it to someone on your team and let them work through it this week. Email pdf@bizvideo.com.au with "Ghost List" in the subject line and JP will send it straight over. New episode every week.
