THE MAP
THE SIX SYSTEMS
EVERY BUILDER NEEDS
Go beyond theory. In six weeks, we install the AI-enhanced systems you need to run a predictable, profitable building business.
The 6-Week Mutual-Action-Plan (MAP™) is our intensive, hands-on implementation program where we roll up our sleeves alongside you. We don't just advise; we build. During the MAP™, we install and tailor the 6 Core Systems essential for eliminating chaos and driving scalable growth, strategically integrating practical AI tools to maximize efficiency:
BUILD PIPELINE PREDICTABLY
LEADFLOW & MARKETING
  • Focus: Building a consistent, predictable stream of qualified leads.
  • How: We implement targeted marketing strategies, optimize your CRM for lead capture/nurturing, and deploy AI tools for efficient qualification and outreach automation (leveraging platforms like Apollo.io and HubSpot where appropriate).
WIN PROFITABLE
PROJECTS
SALES & REVENUE OPERATIONS
  • Focus: Converting more qualified leads into profitable projects, faster.
  • How: We install a streamlined sales process (Customer Centric/SPICED frameworks), configure proposal automation, implement job costing best practices, and use AI insights for pipeline visibility and forecasting.
Run Projects
Smoothly
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
  • Focus: Delivering exceptional projects efficiently and predictably.
  • How: We establish clear workflows, standardize communication protocols (internal & client-facing), implement quality control checkpoints, and optimize your project management software setup.
GENERATE REPEAT BUSINESS
CLIENT SUCCESS & GROWTH
  • Focus: Maximizing lifetime value and generating referrals.
  • How: We build automated systems for gathering feedback/testimonials, implement structured referral request processes, and create frameworks for ongoing client engagement.
Develop
Reliable Teams
HIRING & TEAM DEVELOPMENT
  • Focus: Building the internal capacity and structure for growth.
  • How: We help define roles/responsibilities, establish standardized onboarding/training, implement performance feedback loops, and optimize recruitment processes (including Ideal Candidate Profiles and Behavioral Interviewing).
SET THE
STRATEGY
GOAL SETTING & STRATEGY
  • Focus: Ensuring long-term alignment and continuous improvement.
  • How: We implement frameworks for goal setting (like OKRs), establish meeting rhythms for accountability, develop key performance indicator (KPI) tracking via dashboards, and ensure systems support your strategic vision.
Upon completing the MAP™, you'll have a fully operational, systemized foundation built for predictability and profit.
