NEW DVD gives 3 Essentials for success in Construction Business.  Marketing, Estimating, and Dealing with Clients

Offering practical advice that can help make your construction business more profitable.  Since 1979 the Dillers have: Never lost money on a bid. Never had to sue a client. Collected every dime on every single contract. HERE'S HOW THEY DO IT!  When Stephen and Janelle Diller wanted to start their own construction business, they looked for a book that explained the basics of operating a profitable construction company, but to no avail.  After learning how to run a company the hard way - through trial and error - the Dillers decided to share their knowledge with other contractors.  They wrote a book that covers virtually every aspect of running a profitable construction company : How to Succeed with Your Own Construction Business  In this DVD, the Dillers focus on three essential ingredients of success in the construction business: marketing, estimating, and dealing with clients.  It offers practical advice that can help make your construction business more profitable starting tomorrow.
