How to Talk Money Without Killing the Deal

from Modern Craftsman · host Modern Craftsman

Tyler walks through a real porch lead and shows how he plants price reality early, without backing himself into a corner or playing the lowball game. It's a straight look at using pre-con, setting a baseline (not a cap), and staying confident when a client's budget and the real world don't match up.
