  • E182: The 1 Critical Mistake Sabotaging Your Construction Sales Close Rates & How To Fix It Fast
    Feb 22 2026

    Are you absolutely sure you have a sales process… or are you just relying on experience and hoping for consistency?

    Most leaders confidently say they have a sales process — until they’re asked to explain it. That’s when the cracks show. What many businesses actually have isn’t a documented system… it’s a “lived” process — one that changes depending on the person, the customer, or even the mood on the day. And that inconsistency quietly costs you deals. If you’re in trades, construction, renewables, or any service-based business, this episode speaks directly to the hidden reason your close rate isn’t where it should be.

    In this episode, you’ll discover:

    1. Why undocumented, experience-based selling creates inconsistency across teams and customers — and directly lowers your close rate
    2. The biggest mistake leaders make that quietly sabotages sales process adoption (and how to fix it immediately)
    3. A simple five-step framework you can implement right away to create consistency, ask better questions, align value, and close more deals

    Press play now to learn how to turn your “lived” sales habits into a documented process that drives consistent performance and more closed deals.
