Service Business Mastery for Skilled Trades: HVAC, Plumbing & Electrical Home Service

This episode is a re-release from a past episode with Adam Lean. Adam is my bookkeeper and people are constantly asking me about bookkeeping and accounting, so I thought it best that I release this episode! Keep in mind, I sound like a baby podcaster and gave out the wrong email address (it redirects) but the content is still golden! Adam Lean knows what he was meant to do. After graduating from college, he became an accountant, but quickly realized it was not his calling. He started an eCommerce store, and things started out great. But before long, something felt off. Sales were up, his business seemed to be growing, but his profits just weren't telling the same story. Even as an accountant, he couldn't figure out why. Like many business owners, Adam was wearing ALL the hats in his business and struggled to devote the necessary time/energy to take a closer look at what was working, what wasn't working, and what he should be doing to boost the financial health of his company. So Adam set out to find out exactly what he should be focusing on. And from this quest, Adam started the CFO Project. Today, Adam and his team of "Chief Financial Officers" work with business owners who are struggling to make the right decisions to yield profit. Together, they plot out a roadmap to guide each client (and each client's business) to become more profitable and have more cash flow, allowing those business owners to finally take control of their business and finances. They're not like most business coaches, consultants, or gurus. They're more like financial business coaches that focus on RESULTS. To Adam, results mean more profit & more cash flow for a business. https://thecfoproject.com/sbm/ https://serviceemperor.com @tershblissett on social media. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tershblissett/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tershblissett/support

Chris is a sales mentor, author, podcast host, and speaker. After consciously choosing entrepreneurship as a means to create a better life for his family, Chris realized that negative beliefs about sales were holding him back from taking his ventures to the next level. He saw this as a major hurdle to not only his businesses but the businesses of virtually every other entrepreneur. Chris went to work on himself and found a way to sell that felt right. Chris spearheaded the growth of Plato Consulting to the point it was acquired by one of the largest management consulting firms in the world (KPMG). In the process, he sold over $300 million in consulting services. Following the acquisition, Chris turned his focus to helping other "non-sales sellers" find a way to grow their revenue in a consistent, stress-free manner.
