“We have been trading for five years, traditionally most of our work is based on the North Shore and Central Auckland.
We have a team of twelve builders, and its all cranking at the moment.

Huge credibility, we always had a website, but it was pretty basic and wasn’t up to much but since that has improved we have had great feedback and a heap more leads.

One of the biggest changes we have had in the last twelve months is we now have an office away from home. To separate work from family. Which was a lot more effective in regards to my time.

What I have learnt is you need to use your time most effectively.

Now we have our marketing cranking and we are getting our leads in, we have the option to pick and choose a bit more. Ideally we would love less jobs but bigger, of which we are on the right track for.”

“Our business team of 10 specialise in major renovations and in the last 12 months have undergone some big changes.

The sales process is on a spreadsheet now and the refill pad has gone. Everything’s scheduled in the right order making sure nothing’s missed. We get the right details from the right people and make sure the tyre-kickers are out of the door and not wasting time.

We’ve upgraded the website and were we used to get one lead a month; we now receive 10 – 20 solid leads coming through.

I’ve just hired in the last couple of months a performance/project manager. Essentially, half of the business onsite is now sorted. I’m training up another foreman in-house at the moment trying to get the other half up and running.

We now know exactly where we want to go as a business and we have the tools to do that!”

“We started in 2010 and after a slow start have 10 employees now and are looking to continue growing.

Systems are one of the biggest things that Marti helped us through. I pretty much had no systems and we were just swimming in a pond of oil. So now everything is done as it should and is structured. A lead will come in and it’ll get processed. Every job now has proper project management and tracking. This is making a huge difference.

Before, all our leads were word-of-mouth. We used to get quite a few leads, but not enough to support a growing business. Now we’ve got a good website, we get maybe 6 to 8 leads a week. Which is huge, and they’re really quite good leads.

With all the systems in place we’re just going to keep growing. We need another five builders at least.

The best bit now is not working weekends and evenings and spending more time with the family“.

“Since learning these systems we’ve doubled in size in 1 year.

I finish at 5:00pm every day now, take Wednesdays off and don’t do any weekend work.

I also just got back from a holiday with the family in Fiji, and have already booked Fiji again for next year.

Really proud, because we also just landed our first million dollar new build.“

“Since working with Builders Profitable Marketing, we have dealt with the value of our average sale.

In the last year, 2 of the recommended sales tactics that we have implemented now equate to 55% of our turnover which is pretty amazing.

Our turnover in the last 6 months, from this financial year, has already surpassed last year’s annual turnover.

We’re looking pretty happy.”

“At Homeworx we specialise in custom designed homes. We have a small tight team and have some positive changes over the last while.

I used to spend a lot of time working with clients that often went nowhere, because we didn’t qualify them properly. I’d quite easily be able to pick up 80 hours a week. What I’m doing now is managing to get home by dinnertime, and not work Sundays. So it’s a lot more time with family, and even a little bit of fishing time.

Our focus for the next year is not about increasing the number of jobs, but increasing the quality of them. we’re doing the same number of jobs, but doing a better job of them and having a bit more money sticking out of each job at the end of the day. 

What I’ve learnt is about the importance of having systems and processes recorded. That means I don’t have to do it all myself, other people can easily see what needs to be done. The key thing is that we don’t need to do it all overnight, we are doing a little bit every week, until we’ve got our nice big fat folder of systems and processes.”

“We got sick of the being in the same old rut. You get work come in, do the work, the work finishes and then you look for more work. Things started to get tighter and thought I had to actually do something about it. It came to the point where it’s like make it or give it up and I decided to take a step and get amongst it.

I’ve put a lot of time and energy into a website that is actually working for me now and creating leads.

I’ve also created an information pack that I can give to my clients when they come through and know who I am what we are all about.

Basically I’ve gone from wondering if work is there, to trying to keep up with the work.

We are getting close to 700 people a month through the website and a lot of leads coming from it.”

“We had a small cabin business and we didn’t really know what to do about it and had only been operating for 12 months. So we thought about getting someone on board to give us some direction with that and try and work things out from there.

We now have our website up and running and Google AdWords cranking, we’re basically on track to double our income.

I’m able to surf more and am seeing the possibility of leaving other people to run the business.

We are pretty motivated to achieve our goal and are on track to double our income. If we do that, drinks all round!”

“I’ve been working with Marti now for 7 months. Seven months ago, when I approached Marti, I was turning over $7,000 a month and working 60-70 hours a week and found myself going backwards in a hurry.

I didn’t know anything about business or marketing or any of the finer aspects of business.

I took BPM on, and was a bit skeptical to start with as I didn’t really have the money to throw towards coaching but knew I needed to fast-track my way forward.

After working with Marti, we developed a few marketing strategies.

Seven months later, I am now turning over around $30,000 a month. I have 4 installers working on a contract basis part-time, 3-4 days a week for me. I am still working the 60-70 hours a week but on different parts of the business and now growing it and bringing more products on board.

The future is looking really really good. I recommend a business coach of some description, BPM has has been amazing for our business. I question whether we would be here if I hadn’t got a hold of Marti and the team when I did.”

“I’ve been in business for a long time and felt that I’d got to a plateau and needed a bit of assistance to move forward to the next level.

Marti has helped me put in a lot of systems in place and we’re now working on a website to get online which is not too far away.

The long term is to end up with a business that has better growth, and we have systems in place to cater to that growth.”

”I have been working with Marti for now 6 months and I have learnt so much from him.

In our last financial year we got about $800,000 of work just through word-of-mouth. Which was quite average compared to the amount I got implementing Google Adwords. Just from the sales system we have implemented, from January to basically the middle of March, we gathered through $2.8 million of leads. So, out of that $2.8 so far, we’ve converted about $600,000. I’m 100% confident on locking in on a $800,000 job in a couple of weeks time. I’ve got 2-3 more jobs around 80% to 90% about to convert as well, and those equal out to roughly around $500,000 to $600,000 of work.

Just setting that foundation and learning the knowledge from Marti has helped us grow rapidly. We just need to make sure that all our procedures, and our systems, are pretty much locked down before we can take on even bigger Jobs.

My thought process from the time I jumped onboard with Marti, has completely changed It’s like I’m a totally different person to what I was 12 months ago in terms of my thinking. I smashed my goals that I wanted to smash last year. I’ve set realistic goals for this year, but with Martis help will probably smash these goals too.”
