In this episode of Build to Win, we sit down with Chuck Thokey, a renowned sales coach in the home improvement industry. 

With over two decades of experience in sales, Chuck built large teams in the bath and roofing sectors and has been coaching professionally for nearly a decade. 

Together, we discuss how to hire smart, build a repeatable sales process, and stop losing deals (and profits) because you’re stretched too thin.

If you're stuck doing it all yourself and can’t figure out how to grow without burning out, then you 100% don’t want to miss this episode.

Listen in now and learn:

  • Who your first hire should be 
  • Why owners shouldn't be the only ones closing
  • How to add value instead of cutting prices
  • What makes a great rep (and how to spot one)

… and a lot more.

What are you waiting for?

Run, don’t walk, and tune in now!
