Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Finishing Detail Your Competition Never Mentions

Stop Selling by the Square Foot: Dan Goes Off at Hardscape Training Day

Stop Selling by the Square Foot: Dan Goes Off at Hardscape Training Day
Q: Is there such a thing as there not being a market?
Dan says small markets still have affluent customers, and contractors can create demand by introducing services people have not encountered locally. He uses examples of $300,000 projects in his town and a Nashville contractor who built a large artificial-turf business.
Why Networking Is the #1 Thing That Levels Up a Hardscape Business
Q: What role do educators and students play in the Hardscape Mentor network?
Educators and students help bridge classroom theory with field practice, expand the network's reach, and encourage ongoing mentorship and recruitment into the industry.
Why Networking Is the #1 Thing That Levels Up a Hardscape Business
Q: How do mastermind groups contribute to contractors' success?
Masterminds create a culture of giving back and exchanging actionable insights, where even a single idea can save time and money on upcoming projects, and where members learn from a diverse range of experiences.
