Marketing

I am throughly enjoying and learning a great deal from online estimating seminar and I'm only half way through it.
July, 2017

I have enjoyed reading your books and newsletters.
July, 2017

We have found your website and your resources to be a wealth of information to us. We have been using your books and resources for many years and all our estimators are required to read your Profitable Sales Books.
July, 2017

I have been a subscriber to the newsletter for a while as well as I have a copy of your main book...love everything!
July, 2017

Thank you for the ongoing newsletters that you send through. I ensure I always read them as they are very informative.
July, 2017

I would first like to say thank you for your book, Markup & Profit A Contractor’s Guide Revisited, it has helped my dad so much and myself also, since I am managing his construction business for him. He has 30+ years in the industry and thanks to your book, he decided to venture out on his own, a lot has reassured him of some of the things he already practices and he has also learned some very valuable and new information.
July, 2017

I was fortunate enough to discover Michael's work early in forming my company and refer to his books often.
July, 2017

First, a thank you for your resources. We've been studying up and implementing "Mark up & Profit" and "Profitable Sales" and its making a huge difference.
July, 2017

Thank you for replying and moving so quickly to make sure we were well taken care of. Your group is an incredible asset to us and many others like us.
June, 2017

I own your books and have found them to be very informative and entertaining
June, 2017

My husband and I attended your one day class on Friday in Tacoma. Very informative and just what I needed to get him on board to make changes to our business
June, 2017

Thank you, looking forward to using a proven system. Lots of hard lessons over the many years to stay in business
June, 2017

The book is a great tool for my business
June, 2017

Sat through your class on June 9th and enjoyed every minute of it. I wish I could have taken this class years ago. Finding all the mistakes I had been doing explained a lot. I am very excited about implementing the changes for good so I can start making the money I should be making. . . . Thank you for all your help
June, 2017

I’m always interested in learning and Michael laid out the material in an easy to understand way
June, 2017

Thank you so very much for all the work that it took to put all of these workshops together. We really need the help to re-focus!
June, 2017

Your Markup and Profit book combined with the online estimating course has saved me considerable pain and suffering. Having an idea of how to steer the ship and avoid the rocks is invaluable. Looking back, there’s no question I would have gotten it wrong enough that the probability of success would be low.
June, 2017

I attended your seminar in Everett a couple of weeks ago and found it and your book to be eye opening and immensely helpful
June, 2017

I'm so glad to hear from you. I took our initial phone meetings and ran with that information you provided and we've been transforming my business ever since. It was a little bit of a fire hose scenario as I had so much to learn and implement so fast. I would love to get back on the phone with you and start to refine the changes we've been making
June, 2017

I am SO thankful for Michael's materials. I have the print book, e-book, I am half way through the estimating class and purchased the accounting class also. . . . Thank you all for your priceless materials.
May, 2017

I am a big fan of what you are doing, and your books have taught me a lot about running a construction company . . . thanks for providing such fantastic learning materials!
May, 2017

Michael was a phenomenal speaker. He helped me, my brother and our company tremendously.
May, 2017

Michael did a great job at last Thursday and Friday’s classes. I’m grateful for his passion in supporting and encouraging us to do well. Thank you for sharing him with us. ;-)
May, 2017

Can't tell you how much my son and I enjoyed the class. We have already implemented much of what we learned.
May, 2017

You both are a blessing to me, my family, and my business!
May, 2017

Markup and profit has become my bible, just a fantastic book that is super easy to read and follow along...the fact that it is written in plain English by a contractor is huge!
May, 2017

Just over a year ago I purchased a hard copy, and I believe an electronic version as well, of your book Markup and Profit Revisited. This has been an amazing book for the growth in my company.
May, 2017

I am currently taking your estimating course. I really appreciate the course. I am very young in the industry in terms of gaining business experience & greatly desire a firm foundation. Your course is a great alternative to university opportunities and costs!
April, 2017

I’m really impressed with your instructional videos of which I listened to two just this weekend.
April, 2017

I had purchased your books a couple of years ago and have also been a subscriber to the newsletter. These were both invaluable to me as educational resources. The newsletter always is a welcome surprise in my inbox each week, and the books have proven to be very helpful in making the improvements to my business.
April, 2017

The class information was far beyond any expectations.
April, 2017

Found your book & blog when searching for help for the business. Read your book and think it's really important for my husband and I to attend the two-day.
April, 2017

Thank you again for all of your insights and knowledge...you've been an incredible source of growth for me and my business!
April, 2017

I've been a client and a fan for awhile now, and enjoy the good advise and sounding board Michael provides. Thank you.
April, 2017

We attended the two day seminar. Very productive and time well spent!
April, 2017

I've been on your email list for many, many years. Thanks for all your help!
April, 2017

We were at your class in Indianapolis last yr . . . Hello from Toronto
April, 2017

I read and gather information all the time. Have been doing so for years. The best move I made was coming across your business. I have purchased from you and I visit your website at minimum once a week to read your weekly blog.
March, 2017

Believe it when I say that the information you present is the best I have come across. There are many ways to present the information needed for contracting and many opinions on “how to run” your business. For my money, your product is the best value
March, 2017

I have been spring cleaning in the office and am amazed at how much information I gathered that I have never used. Information that just doesn’t cut it. That hasn’t inspired or helped in the quest to run a better business. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
March, 2017

I just wanted to tell you your class and book is an inspiration to me.
March, 2017

This was a NTCA Seminar. You were wonderful

I'm in a process of starting a home remodeling business and I'm excited and can't wait to read this book
February, 2017

I bought your book on Markup and Profit a couple months ago. I just finished reading it a couple weeks ago. It was very insightful
February, 2017

I receive your newsletter and attended an event many years ago in San Jose. I read this weeks newsletter and decided it was time to review our firm and see where we could improve
February, 2017

What a great article, it brought tears to my eyes as I read it. Thanks for all your help over the years
February, 2017

January, 2017

Hi Michael...I've purchased your Mark up and Profit book and all I can say is I wish someone had sat me down 25 years ago and gone over this material
January, 2017

On a side note, I finished your book Profitable sales. It was awesome . . . I am committed to improving myself. Thank you for your help
January, 2017

I am a general contractor with a small construction company in its 4th year of operation. I have found your book Markup & Profit, A Contractor’s Guide, to be a valuable resource of practical and useful information. Thank you!
January, 2017

The business of our business is completely different than 14 months ago, and I wanted to thank you again for helping me into the Stone Age. We finished last year with 13% profit, and I did get the new (used, 1 year old) truck. We planned to wait and pay cash, but a deer on the road helped move up our plans
January, 2017

Thank you for all that you do
January, 2017

I am looking forward to the book. I have found a lot of value in your Markup and Profit book. Thank you for writing these guides
January, 2017

enjoying the Contractor Sales book. Really good advice

I would like to take this opportunity again to thank Michael for his excellent book. The construction industry, particularly here in Great Britain and probably worldwide needs more people like him
January, 2017

Blooming late into a business of my own and feel I must try before I cannot.
December, 2016

I heard a lot about your service and I'm looking to working with you. I heard about you from Bernie and also from reading The Contractors Closing Success Blueprint.
December, 2016

I am a big fan of your classes, and they have been helping our company change their way of approaching jobs, teamwork, etc etc.
December, 2016

heard about you through JLC winter classes in Portland a month ago.
December, 2016

Great course! My husband and I have been in the construction business for over 25 years — and I wish we could have known much of this information up front. It would have prevented a lot of those "life's lessons" we've learned the hard way.
December, 2016

Although I've been in construction for 30+ years, I've only owned my own company for 2 years....and there is so much I didn't know that I didn't know. I've read your book "Markup and Profit" a couple times and it has been helpful.
December, 2016

I am a bookkeeper with several contracting clients. One of my clients says your book is going to change his life. I definitely want to recommend it to others.
December, 2016

I also have read your Markup and Profit Book, read your blogs, and recently sent a business coach inquiry to you. I look forward to learning more
December, 2016

I took one of your online courses back in 2006 or 7 when I was renwing my contactors license. I have been a fan ever since then. Thank you
December, 2016

It's really hard to believe the years have just flown by us since 2001. There is rarely a month that goes by that we don't talk about Michael Stone and something we've learned from you! We really appreciate all you have done for us and the industry over the years
December, 2016

Thank you for all your help over the years. This year has been our best ever. We will end up very close to the 8% net profit as suggested. I'm optimistic that next year will be even better!
December, 2016

Based on the content this book is absolutely amazing. I might be talented as a technician but being talented as a businessman is an entirely new ball game
December, 2016

Merry Christmas & thankyou. Your help has made our company even more prosperous in 2016. We look forward to your support in the coming year
December, 2016

December, 2016

Thank you! I am still in business because I found your book MU&P 6 yrs ago and have been using it to guide me ever since.
December, 2016

I’ve certainly appreciated all that you do, I’ve taken a course with you and read some of your books. With some of your tips I’ve been able to make some great changes to the business and the bottom line.

Started working for OakWood and your book was highly recommended by our owner John Liptak

A mention on Contractor Talk
July, 2016

Thank you for your time & the advice in your books.
July, 2016

I had to take CEUs for ccb license renewal. It's a frustrating process because my business is a tree service and, while I put tremendous value on education and am constantly studying my business and my practice, the CCB mostly offers classes that don't relate at all to my business. Your classes on Oregon Contractor Education have been FANTASTIC. No nonsense and great information. Excited to see the book.
July, 2016

First let me say THANK YOU to you and Devon! For your consistently delivered message regarding mark up and profit. I only wish I would have come across your works and those of Michael Gerber before I got into business 20 years ago! I keep both Markup & Profit Revisited and The E Myth Revisited near me at all times. . . . Thanks again for your tireless efforts.
July, 2016

Started reading the book version of markup and profit and loving it! Want to get this book into my life as well.
July, 2016

I have purchased both of your books and I have been following your strategies. I have had success in paying down my company debt and it looks like I might be done paying it off this year. After it is paid off I will enjoy a decent salary and profit for the company.
July, 2016

I found you on Woodweb years ago. I've read Micheal's books and I've adopted many of his ideas and directions. I still need help running my business!
July, 2016

I have the original book (even signed by Michael) but want the updated version.

April, 2016

I am in the process of starting my masonry & concrete company. I know how to do the work but the business side I need to learn. I need to develop a system for quoting my jobs and I hope this information will help me. So I need this book. Thank you for your work sharing this book.
April, 2016

Thanks for all you 2 do. I will admit that I've been ready to give up for about a year. I told someone that now I'm not just willing to continue, but I'm excited to implement things we learned - not only in the business but also in the home. I feel as though we are back on the same page.
April, 2016

It was a great class with tons of useful info and a lot of great people.
April, 2016

Thank you for having so much valuable information available for a new contracting business like ours.
April, 2016

Devon, I just returned home from taking Michael's 2 day live course in Baltimore, Md. It was everything I was hoping it would be and more!
April, 2016

I have been a self employed contractor for over 28 years and am basically a one man show doing everything. It seems like things get harder instead of easier. Estimating and sales have always seemed like a burden and recently have had some issues with old school business on a hand shake. I'm ready for a new perspective! Hope you can help
April, 2016

Already get your newsletter. Excellent material! Thanks!
April, 2016

The video has a lot of excellent, practical information that I will be using.

March, 2016

Attended your class in Phoenix- Awesome!!!
March, 2016

Thank you again for a wonderful program.
March, 2016

The class was really helpful. I read the book a couple years ago, and have been fighting tooth and nail to get my husband and business partner to embrace the practices that Michael recommends. Somehow, though, it made more sense to hubby when Michael said it…. funny how that works!
March, 2016

Big fan of your work!
March, 2016

I already receive your newsletter and enjoy it very much. Thank you.
March, 2016

I finally understand how it works and I am very grateful to you for breaking it down in a very understandable format.
March, 2016

I really enjoyed the class and meeting Michael, I think our class tried him a little with all the questions but he was a good sport and helped all of us tremendously! I will definitely recommend him to anyone I know.
February, 2016

I'm inspired from the Oakland class to start making a profit and getting paid fairly for my work.
February, 2016

The changes we've made will definitely change our lives for the long term, but its not an overnight process, that's for sure . . . but there is lots of good news. Turns out, the light at the end of the tunnel is NOT an oncoming train.
February, 2016

January, 2016

Things are great here and you and Michael will be happy to hear we finished the year with a 10% net profit (after all expenses and salaries paid- our best yet!). We have followed his mark-up rules as closely as ever and are proof that it really works!
January, 2016

Heard about you on contractor app
January, 2016

Found you through a trade magazine. Not sure which. Missed your Dallas Seminar. Time to order the book.
January, 2016

Hi. I purchased the estimating and sales classes on 1-8-16 and didn't realize that there was a 20% discount if the FTE was purchased the same day. I would appreciate if you could extend the discount for this transaction if at all possible. Thanks. (No problem!)
January, 2016

Looking forward to this class!
January, 2016

I have taken Michaels advice and after the class, thanks to the Profitable Sales book, have pre sold 2 projects for this spring with a $1500.00- $2500.00 non-refundable deposit for feasibility and budget analysis. And I am only on page 87.
January, 2016

Really looking forward to this workshop!

We all need a good reminder that we are the good guys and we should charge accordingly to stay in business and make a profit. Let the other guys race to the bottom with price drops because we know where they are headed.
January, 2016

I downloaded your book last fall and am another long-time builder who wishes he’d had that information 20 years ago . . . I’m not the type to predict success in my coming year but I’m confident we’re on the right track, thanks to your business guidance.
January, 2016

Thank You!
December, 2015

Watched your 6-hour course on Oregon Contractor Education. Well done!
December, 2015

We absolutely loved Michael's training and knowledge. We feel like we now have a source to get the education we have needed to be successful.
December, 2015

I just wanted to send you a quick note. Your book is helping me dig myself out of the hole I dug and through myself into. I haven't implemented all of your ideas but that is my goal for 2016. Thanks again and Merry Christmas.
December, 2015

I greatly appreciate all you and Michael do for us.
December, 2015

The time with Michael in Las Vegas this year was invaluable. I have begun using his methods and I am really waking up fast!
December, 2015

I have listened to a couple courses via the computer that you have given and was very impressed with the amount of USABLE information I received.
November, 2015

Thanks. Such a good book. Wanted to keep busy with something useful over the holiday.
November, 2015

Found you through Remodeling magazine.

November, 2015

I recieved your monthly news letter already and have the original Mark up and Profit book from 2000. But I need to change somethings badly so I wanted updated info.
November, 2015

I already get your email. Thanks. Its very helpful.
November, 2015

I've read your newsletter for years.
November, 2015

I purchased your contract writing software earlier this year. I’ve familiarized myself with it and have put it to great use . . . Before I started using your software, our contracts were poor/scant if existent at all. After using your software and realizing how quick, easy and thorough my contracts were, I told my brother he needed to install it on his computer so he could do the same.
November, 2015

One year ago, I stumbled across your website searching for answers to questions on how to get off to the right start - On my own. Since that time, I have read from your blog roll everyday and purchased your book . . . The year started off strong, slowed down in the summer and is now finishing with a big bang. Mostly through the use of intelligent branding and implementing your solid business methodologies. (1/2)

(2/2) Year one will see all expenses paid, leave $18K in my personal account and $47K net in the business account. Although I have only paid the face value of your book, the rewards gained are priceless.
November, 2015

Am much grateful Mr. Michael

Hi Michael, I've been to one of your seminars in Orange County (years ago) and continue to enjoy your newsletters and valuable info. Thanks!!
July, 2015

I love your site. Thanks so much for the encouragement. I am getting more serious about my business and providing quality work that I want to do rather than bend to the customers budget. For years I have taken on whatever work that came my way and priced according to what the client wanted to pay. Then, while doing the job I would be working away taking way too long because of my picky nature.(1/2)

(2/2) I would end up doing a beautiful job that they didn't pay for and hurting my self financially but most importantly mentally and emotionally. I am passionate about doing quality work. You have helped me adopt the right attitude towards charging properly.
June, 2015

Since finding your company on the internet I've become an avid student of your efforts and give you all the credit for being able to "hold my own" when dealing with more experienced contractors and potential customers. Thank you, more than you know.
June, 2015

Thank you for the work you do in helping other contractors succeed.
June, 2015

A quick note to thank you both for your help in our being able to get back up and running so quickly. Everything is back to normal and running fine.

April, 2015

I just want to say how much I appreciated everything you guys and gals are doing to help promote ethical and profitable contractors. I've been in the trades for 20 yrs. but still new to contracting and running a business. The information you have provided me has been a tremendous aid in building my company. The information is from hands-on people who are familiar with real world scenarios.
April, 2015

Man I hope this is the answer!!!
March, 2015

I've purchased Markup and Profit and Profitable Sales book. Phenomenal books!! Michael thank you for all the valuable information. I've learned a lot.

March, 2015

You popped up on YouTube!

March, 2015

Attended Michael's seminar at the IEC convention in Denver about 10 years ago. I just ran across his brochure and figured I better order before I lost it again! Thanks
February, 2015

How did you hear about us? Can't remember - it's been too long ago now.
February, 2015

My colleague highly recommended this to me. He said he has read it several times and suggested that I do the same. I am a general contractor and specialize in residential remodels and additions. He thinks this will really help with the way I run my business and change the way I look at my business. Thank you.
February, 2015

Tell Mr. Stone hello, I have a friend that I am sending this book to help get him started.
February, 2015

Great, common sense products! Keep up great work!

We love you guys- we've bought many products from you-helps our business immensely!

I saw your book on Amazon & bought it. Really good by the way.
January, 2015

Thanks for taking the time to speak with me. Looking forward to improvement and profitability!
January, 2015

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all that you do. I took a seminar from you in March of 2000 and was so impressed that I have often advised builders to look into your work. I bought a set of VHS tapes which I lent to several builders over the years. Bottom line: You are an excellent resource for builders in my opinion.
January, 2015

I used your book to get myself started over 10 years ago
January, 2015

I first heard Michael at a JLC Live show many years ago in Portland.
January, 2015

Have been a subscriber since taking continuing education classes for my contractors license. Still refer back every chance I get to review the "pearls of wisdom" from Mr. Stone. Someday I would like to set in on one of his classes in person!
January, 2015

I found and purchased your Mark Up and Profit book over a year ago. Read most of it and it scared me about how I run my business. I have slowly made changes and now I am ready to start put things in writing.
January, 2015

After I complete the studying of these books I will be reaching out for some advise on other questions I may have. I took one of your classes about 18 years ago and have used your information every day in my business and find that it works so I'm excited to finish the revised version.
January, 2015

I enjoy and appreciate all the products and services you provide.
January, 2015

I recently spoke with a lady who answered the phone when I called in. I explained my situation and frustrations with profit margins, overhead, Etc. She was very polite, took the time to listen and suggested purchasing your companies book. So far, a great start to working with CPR!
January, 2015

Hello: we are dedicated to great work and have been working by word of mouth reference for over 17 years, as the "highest quality remodeling contractor" in a small geographical area. End of year this , and not a dime in the account! Insurances and taxes have risen a lot (No retirement contribution.) UGH! My spouse is afraid to charge much more --hoping this book will help. It is going to be a tough first quarter here--:)
December, 2014

I bought the book about profits from you. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. I am hoping this helps me just as much.
December, 2014

Great book! This one's going to my brother.
December, 2014

I took your ORCCB CE class online two years ago. Anyone who asks (and some who just need it) get pointed your way. Your newsletters have been super helpful - I read them every week. Thanks for all your good work.
December, 2014

I purchased Markup and Profit a Contractors Guide. I'm about half way through it. Its a phenomenal book!! I'm already seeing I huge change in the way I do business. I can't wait to read Profitable Sales.
December, 2014

I don't remember where I originally heard about you, but a couple of years ago I purchased Markup and Profit and signed up for the newsletter. Fortunately the rest is not history, but a successful business.
December, 2014

I am a subscriber, and am gaining more knowledge of how to run my business versus just being a mechanic. Thank you!
December, 2014

Your newsletters have been a valuable source of reference and I look forward to reading Profitable Sales
December, 2014

Your information and newsletter has changed my business for the better, Thanks for all that you do!
November, 2014

I am an avid reader of your weekly email. I love it thanks.
November, 2014

(how did you hear about us?) While taking my Oregon Continued Contractors Education Classes. I loved the session. The 6 hours flew by.
November, 2014

Took your class in Reno Nevada many years ago. I have used the guidelines you have set in place and found that they work, so I wanted to take a look at the new "Revisited" version to see what's new that I can implement.
November, 2014

I've look for business advice for the longest time, I struggled for many years, I believe I found what I've been looking for. Thanks
October, 2014

I purchased "markup and profit" after coming across the website through a search engine. It has been very helpful in changing my thinking about my business, and I am looking forward to these additional tools. Thanks.
October, 2014

We have been a client for years and thank you!!
October, 2014

I have used both of your books like a bible to help with all the issues I face daily. Thank you once again.
October, 2014

What a great resource your company is. I look forward to your newsletters as it always provides new insight on topics that are an issue and sometimes never talked about on the day to day business of things.
October, 2014

Keep writing. I read it all. Just wish I had implemented it all.
October, 2014

Thanks so much for the wonderful resources. You have helped us so much as we build our Home Improvement Business. Blessings!
October, 2014

I received my book today and have quickly read it from cover to cover. I will now be reviewing all the incredibly helpful advice, section by section. I cannot thank Michael enough for this wonderful work! I think I have made every single mistake highlighted in the book. The results are predictable - debt and a non paying job. I am convinced that our small business will turn around now! (continued)
October, 2014

On behalf of my husband, son, and I, thank you so very much! We are very skilled craftsmen but business...not so much. To be given the tools based on our numbers really does help our confidence, (and artisan type guilt), in charging a fair price for our work.
October, 2014

I have loaded the book and the calibre software. I am able to read it now. Wonderful book.
October, 2014

I received your e-newsletter for years and have both editions of "Markup and Profit"
September, 2014

We joined our local HBA and had some business questions and a colleague said that I most certainly needed to start reading your markup and profit book and that started our quest for more information to make our business better. I read the book cover to cover and learned a lot of very useful information that will begin and continue to help our business grow. Thank you.
September, 2014

I purchased your book years ago and from time to time your name is brought up in Industry circles and with Business Networks.
September, 2014

We love Michael & Devon
September, 2014

Electrical contractor struggling with the "business" part of the business.
Cash flow issues, profitability issues, utilization issues, marketing issues... Don't know where to begin for sure but profit seems like a good place to start!
September, 2014

I wanted to let you know that I took your recommendations and made the appropriate changes to my contract.
Once again I appreciate all your help, not just this one instance but for all the time you give freely helping others. It would seem people helping others is a thing of the past. I'm glad to see that's not the case here. Guys like you are what we need more of in the contracting world!
September, 2014

So glad I found you. I'm a new contractor and am thankful to you for sharing your expertise.
August, 2014

Recently there was a tiny mix up with a book I ordered. I really appreciated how it was handled. We all make mistakes, this was a small one. I was impressed that there is an employee out there as cheerful and accommodating in resolving a problem. She owned the mistake and made your company look really good all at once. Thanks!
August, 2014

Thank you Mr. Stone. I have bought these books several times over and can't keep them in stock. I am buying two of each this time so I can hopefully keep a copy for myself. I love the Fast Track Proposal software. I am still implementing my procedures and have many steps still to take up the mountain, but it's going the right way.
August, 2014

Thanks again Michael and Devon! Your products have really helped to grow my business and implement processes that allow me to spend much needed time with my family!
August, 2014

Heard about you on a Podcast. I can't remember which one. When I heard it I went to the website and subscribed to emails. Great Information. Thanks.
July, 2014

I just want you to know that since purchasing 'Markup and Profit' I have been able to save over $10,000.00 in the last 6-7 months. The future looks great thanks to you. Thank you.
July, 2014

I gave away my first copy of your book to my brother-in-law who's been contracting for 20 years. As he leafed through the pages of your book, he kept saying things like, "That's exactly right, but the way he expressed it makes so much sense..." Thank you for such helpful products. I'm working through your video estimating course (just completed courses 3-4 today between jobs!)
July, 2014

I have been a long time subscriber to your newsletter and reader of your books. Thanks!
July, 2014

I'm always impressed with Michael's knowledge. It has benefited me and my company a great deal already.
July, 2014

You have been a great help to us thanks a lot.
July, 2014

Heard you many times at jlc, also linkedin

All of your resources have been extremely helpful to a general contractor just starting out. Thank you very much!
June, 2014

I am one of your big fans. You both are awesome. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
June, 2014

I heard Michael refer to his course on estimating when I was taking a CE class about Profit and Markup. This P&M material was so helpful, I realized I need a serious lesson in estimating, too.
June, 2014

Hi Michael and Devon! Hope this finds you well!
May, 2014

Michael, I've been enjoying your articles for quite some time and decided it was time to buy the book. I'm looking forward to applying what I learn to my remodeling business and freeing myself from hammer swinging so I have time to run my business and spend more time with my family.

April, 2014

I met Mr. Stone at a CFMA event in PA several years ago. I bought his "Markup and Profit" book. The concepts in this book are regularly used in this company.
April, 2014

read your books, still reading and refreshing what I read.
April, 2014

I've been purchasing from you for quite some time. Always wonderful advice.
April, 2014

I have had your book or books, for a long time. Maybe from a trade magazine. Maybe ten years since I bought Markup and Profit, the first edition. Thanks for the help,
March, 2014

I have read the book markup and profit and wow it really opened my eyes to what I have been missing out on, now hopefully my business will profit with the right markup, thanks in advance.

Perhaps you should market yourself as a Trades Therapist! Michael Stone, Const. PhD.
March, 2014

March, 2014

I ordered and read Profitable Sales. Lots of great advice!

Gave my copy to one of my clients. Wanted another copy for my bookshelf and like the idea of being able to read it on my Kindle as well!
March, 2014

Got Markup and Profit and builders show and have kept in touch ever since.
March, 2014

So glad I found your site. It has been extremely helpful. I'm a remodeling contractor in . . . All we do is remodel. I've always wanted to know how it's really done. I'm tired of winging estimates etc.

I found you today on your website and feel a new relief and a new hope already!
March, 2014

I LOVE your website, weekly articles and it all is so true! Thank you for being the one great place to find info and realize that I'm not the only ones with these problems. :)
February, 2014

I heard about your book from OCE. Thanks!
February, 2014

I have had Mike's original Markup & Profit book for years. I had spoken and emailed Mike under my old company name. Unfortunately, 2007 wiped me out. Now we're clawing our way back and I don't want to make the same mistakes!
February, 2014

in business since 1986 :) no money in savings thought:( need to update the business end. looking forward to your book.

February, 2014

Reading your blog, then perusing your site. I'm like a sponge, I want to learn more. I've been building for over 20 years, and you can never stop learning and improving.

January, 2014

Like your home page, you get right to the point!
January, 2014

I have purchased a few of your other products one of which is "Markup and Profit (revisited)". There is no doubt I am more confident in pricing and estimating jobs. Now it's past time to learn more about selling. The statement "nobody makes any money till someone sells something" is so true and over looked. I'm greatly looking forward to getting into the Profitable Sale's book.
January, 2014

I'm ordering one book for my son and one for myself. Thanks!

Hi Michael. Back for more! Robert
December, 2013

Attended Michael's Seminar in Bremerton, WA many years ago (around 2000?) and bought the first Markup and Profit. The past few years have been very tough for me. It's time for a Recharge! Looking forward to getting some new inspiration and practical advice, so I'm buying "Revisited", and, just bought Profitable Sales. I'll bet with Michael's inspiration and guidance, I can thrive again! Thanks, Michael.
December, 2013

Michael Stone is AWESOME. His examples have been a part of my business from the beginning. What an awesome teacher.
December, 2013

We specialize in kitchen and bathroom remodeling in the Portland , Vancouver area. I was very impressed with your information . Thanks
December, 2013

We bought both your books 1 year ago and they have been invaluable.
December, 2013

I found out about on WoodWeb, a wonderful blog about all things wood.
November, 2013

I was humbled and inspired by Profitable Sales. And put the ones I felt would fit for me into practice. I have a feeling that Markup and Profit will be the same, and will change how I manage my business and price my work.
November, 2013

I took your class in 1999 and have followed your newsletters for years.
November, 2013

Been a fan and customer ever since JLC in 2011 and attended one of Michael's seminars. Keep up the good work.
November, 2013

Saw the book discussed in a construction forum
October, 2013

found through LinkdIn Forum, referred by Rick Mitchell, L&M Construction of Hampstead, NH (my best/worst competition!)
October, 2013

I regularly read the blog and follow discussions on linkedin. Markup and Profit a Contractors Guide has helped me earn more than a living after doing little more than that for 15 years. I don't like to think about how I short changed myself and my family for so long. Thank you!
October, 2013

I so look forward to your news letter every Wednesday it has so much depth in terms of useful content for your average good clean contractors. It really has made a big difference in the way I see things, I can now price my jobs fairly and have a clear conscience at the end of the day.
October, 2013

My business partner has had previous dealings with your company and speaks very highly of your products!
October, 2013

Already a follower, I'm sharing these with an associate.
September, 2013

We took the continuing education classes required by the State of Oregon Contractors Construction Board from you. They were by far the best and most informative of any continuing education class we have taken. We continue to receive the newsletter which has been beneficial as well.
Thank you.
September, 2013

Found you through the John Bridge tile forums.
September, 2013

I found you folks back in 1999 when Michael was the moderator on the old mark up and profit forum. I kind of got involved in a little argument Mike was having with another poster and ended up talking to Michael on the phone. That is what led me to check in with him from time to time. He gave me a lot of important insight back when I was younger and very much inexperienced. Thank you again from the distant past lol.
August, 2013

I am looking forward to speaking with you; I feel as though I know you already. We have exchanged some emails and you have been very helpful.
August, 2013

You always supply the contractor with the latest to make us successful, Thank You.
August, 2013

been going to your seminars at JLC for years... you are a legend
August, 2013

Borrowed the book "Markup and Profit" from a friend years ago and have been hooked on Mr. Stones good ideas ever since.
August, 2013

Thank you for your help and to tell you your customerservice is ***** stars. Have nice day.
August, 2013

I already purchased this book, but thought it would be a good idea to give to one of my General Contractors.
July, 2013

Thanks for the email newsletter- I really have enjoyed reading your blog even more though.
July, 2013

I'm excited to get your books and get some advise for growing and maintaining my business as a builder.
July, 2013

Thank you for all that you do to help the contractor.
July, 2013

I bought the mark up and profit guide years ago. Sales are really tough this summer. I just can't seem to close a job. Trying to improve my skills.
July, 2013

I had purchased Markup and Profit. There was a ton of useful information and this was a big help because I was in the process of starting my own remodeling company. As a side, when I had a computer problem, Devon was so very kind and prompt in helping me get some information I needed. Thank you both!
July, 2013

Call in webinar It was an excellent program. Thank you so much.
June, 2013

It sounds like this book is just what my husband (owns his own renovation company) and I have been looking for!! I hope it addresses the issue of how to convince clients that the rates and costs charged are totally reasonable. People have no idea what materials and labour cost!!! Everyone( i.e.friends), wants a deal and my husband is too nice and wants to accomodate them. In the meantime he's working very hard and earning very little. Can't wait to get the book. Thanks.
June, 2013

I've bought books previously.i'm sending this copy to a friend and fellow contractor.
May, 2013

Great info!

Went to one of Michael's seminars in Syracuse NY many years ago

I have been following you for over 9 years now. I originally purchased Markup and Profit in 2004. I really appreciate the insight and positive spirit you promote with your blog.

Heard about you at your WOC seminar several years ago. AWESUM seminar.
Feb, 2013

Through LinkedIn, also purchased you other book. Your other book was very helpful - thanks.
Feb, 2013

Repeat customer, the best kind!
Feb, 2013

Michael,thanks for talking to me a couple of weeks ago about the nasty cost plus contract that I have here. I will be closing this job out in the next 3 months and will let you know how the dust settles. I have ordered some of your information and look forward to the education.
Jan, 2013

i was browsing a bookstore about 7 years ago and stumbled across it. Bought it and went from being a superintendent-carpenter to a successful business owner. Did over 2 million in 2011 and just under 1.6 million in sales in 2012.
Jan, 2013

Though I don’t always have time to read your newsletters, I always enjoy doing so. What I find interesting is you can take any reference to construction out of the articles and 99% of the material still applies. Even having managed multiple types of businesses over 30 years, including contracting, I always find useful tips within the letters, or at the very least, reminders to put me back on track.
Jan, 2013

I have read Mr. Stones articles in trade magazines for years, have his book on Markup & Profit for several years, and just joined the online discussion group today. I am preparing to hire a sales person, and this should be of some help. Thank you for all the info over the years. It has been of great value.
Jan, 2013

Reading your books. They're great.
December, 2012

I purchased the Markup & Profit book serveral years ago. Plus I just purchased the estimating software about a month ago. I really appreciate what you've done here. Sharing your knowledge and teaching others what you've learned over the years.
December, 2012

Been a General Contractor for 20 years now and I ordered your Markup and Profit book. After reading the first 4 chapters, I found out you really can teach an old dog new tricks. I only cringe now thinking how much money I have left on the table in the past 20 years. I'm ordering the software to to replace a stick build one. Going to switch to unit costing as much as possible...Thanks...Don
December, 2012

Read your mark up and profit book last year and it is like talking to a good straight talking friend. Opting for this and reading your web site again as a bit of support at a dificult time. Thanks for understanding how it is. Neil
December, 2012

Was browsing thru books on Amazon back in 2009 (looking for help after the crash) and came across M&P....saved my business. Now it's time to go back to school and take the biz to the next level! I'm curious to see how Profitable Sales deals with the internet and social media for marketing purposes....
November, 2012

I am ordering these for some of the contractors we work for.
October, 2012

Originally bought m+p book and have since garnished much insight from blog and other materials.

September, 2012

The first book disappeared from office so we need another.
August, 2012

Hey there - ordering the Estimating Training to complement the Fast Track Estimating software I purchased last week. I worked through it a little and am impressed at the ease of use - so much so that I decided that the best way to get up to speed quickly and take full advantage of the system would be to leverage your expertise through the training. Thank you for honoring the discount even though I am ordering the packages a few days apart. I'm excited to get my first estimate completed through using your system and expertise.
July, 2012
