• 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
  • I sat through Michaels classes at JLC Live in Portland more than once along with attending the two day class a few years back. I learned the stuff I never would have figured out on my own and we have put our company into profitable territory with a good projection of growth! I appreciate what you folks do and recommend the Markup and Profit book to all of the young tradesmen I know.
  • Just wanted to say thanks for all you and Michael do. You are both truly a blessing and I tell as many contractors as I can about you guys!
  • 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!
  • I just started using FTE this week. I’m very pleased with how simple yet effective it is. I’ve used THOUSANDS of dollars worth of estimating software over the years and most recently Hometech. The latter was the best but very quirky/difficult to customize the database! Should’ve bought FTE right out of the gate but more importantly, I should’ve read your books 8-10 years ago!
  • 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!
