A builder's client was deep in preconstruction. Fourth design round, price creeping, months on the clock. Then their kid rolled his ankle at soccer, and that night the parents parked the whole build. In this episode of the Inspired Builders Show, JP and Corne break down The Energy Transfer, a one-call move for restarting a deal that has stalled in preconstruction. Your client started this process excited. Six months of design rounds and creeping prices drained that away, and nobody else in the deal is going to bring it back. Also on the show. Granny flat rules are easing state by state, which opens a product line most builders are still ignoring. Australia needs another 300,000 construction workers by mid 2027, so your marketing has a second job now: recruiting the trades who will build your pipeline. Two client wins from builders who worked out who they are before they worked out how to grow. And the question that closes the episode: who believes in you, and who are you being that person for? Corne pulls in the desire principle from Breakthrough Advertising by Eugene Schwartz, plus a story from the My First Million podcast about a door knocker who priced every no at exactly $5.
