What you'll get

Bob Larkin, a business coach with Contractor University, explains in this HVAC-framed interview why many technicians who start companies have never seen a profit and loss statement, and covers pricing from your own numbers, a five-year picture of the company worked back into a yearly plan, and writing ads from the homeowner's point of view.
