Questions From Contractors, Answers With David Hawke & Randall 

This Podcast Is Episode Number 0335, And It Will Be About The Scientific Remodeling System   Today's Guest Article Is From David Hawke and Randall Soules A real remodeling system designed to generate more wealth with less work.  I know it sounds like a cliché, and possibly even far fetched, but in this podcast episode, you’ll hear how this system came to exist and what gives its users the path to more wealth with less work.  That said, success is not a guarantee. It does take work, but if you have the desire, the Scientific Remodeling System will give you the systems and processes needed to not only thrive as a remodeler but also have the money and freedom to enjoy a personal life with friends and family. Remodeling contractors are a rare breed. Typically they are tradespeople who make the jump into a business owner. They are very tied to the outcome of each project and love the feeling of giving life to the space they’re working with.  It’s as much an art as it is business. And that is why it’s difficult to implement systems. The passion put into each project takes up most of the time available, and any time left over must be allocated to employee issues and the multitude of other tasks required to stay legal and operational. While most will agree, systems and processes would definitely help alleviate the daily issues remodelers face, from employees, subcontractors, and even clients. However, taking the time to create the processes needed would take away the remaining few hours left for family, friends, and sleep. It’s a difficult choice. Enter the Scientific Remodeling System, built and refined over a 34-year remodeling career selling to high-income clients.  Randall Soules (creator of the Scientific Remodeling System), decided early on he wanted the freedom to spend quality time with his wife and children, and he wanted to be financially free enough to do things like taking a three-week vacation in Hawaii. His business ran the spectrum of remodeling, from commercial projects with employees and crew to building custom homes and eventually into a 100% subcontract labor force, specializing in high-end home design-build remodeling projects. Now, he’s handing his years of experience and all of his systems to remodelers who want more. From:   Selling by establishing yourself as the contractor the client wants to work with Seamlessly handing off the job to production Production efficiencies The cashflow payment system The profitable warranty system Contractor marketing And much more…  If you have an interest in running a more profitable remodeling business, and to have more time to enjoy your private life, Randall Soules is offering a free demo of the entire Scientific Remodeling System. (Or you can also copy and paste this on your web browser: https://scientificremodelingsystem.com/schedule-a-30-minute-demo/) We look forward to helping you advance your business and improve your life! About The Authors: David Hawke is leading service-based companies through the digital selling process. He's a Building Brand Authority, Author, Speaker and can be found on LinkedIn.         Randall Soules is one of 6 children of missionary parents to Brazil. He had no experience with carpentry until the age of 23, after three years of trying his hand at Mechanical Engineering at the University of Virginia. He has always enjoyed working with his hands, and M.E. didn’t cut for him. He started as a laborer and worked his way through the carpentry apprenticeship program, winning the City and State Apprenticeship Contest, and going on the National Contest in Las Vegas. He started his own company, Soules Construction in 1978, doing anything he could to feed his wife and two boys. He quickly made a name for himself in the city of Chattanooga. In 1985 he merged with another company and started Ardis and Soules, Inc. It was in this company, running at times five crews, that he created simple, effective systems to navigate the complex field of remodeling. His company moved into high-end design-build remodeling, becoming the go-to company in the city. He retired at the age of 60 and now spends his time podcasting, writing, and creating content for his membership site,the Scientific Remodeling System.
