Buildertrend and APB join forces to host exclusive Professional Builders’ Secrets events across North America
Omaha, Neb. (May 13, 2024) – Buildertrend, the leading provider of construction management software, is excited to announce its partnership with the Association of Professional Builders (APB) to sponsor six exclusive builder events across North America. Titled Professional Builders’ Secrets, these events aim to provide valuable resources, support and actionable insights to builders, empowering them to address challenges and drive positive change in the residential construction industry.
“Teaming up with the Association of Professional Builders is a natural fit for Buildertrend,” said Brooke Brockman, Chief Marketing Officer at Buildertrend. “Our shared mission of empowering home builders and remodelers with innovative solutions perfectly aligns with the goals of this event series. Together, we’re excited to provide builders with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed in today’s competitive market.”
This isn’t the first time Buildertrend and APB have collaborated either – for the past three years, they’ve worked together to survey the industry and create the State of Residential Construction Industry report. This event series acts as an extension of their partnership. As the sole software sponsor, Buildertrend is proud to support these events and share this unique opportunity with its established contractor customer base.
The Professional Builders’ Secrets series has been a hit across Oceania, where APB is headquartered, and now for the first time, these events will be held in North America.
“We’re excited to partner with Buildertrend to bring these exclusive events to North America,” said Russ Stephens, Co-Founder and Business Strategy Specialist at APB. “Our aim is to continue delivering impactful resources and support to builders, both in North America and globally, and this event series is a testament to that commitment. With Buildertrend’s strong foothold and brand recognition in both the U.S. and Canada, we’re confident these events will be a success.”
The event series will feature a combination of educational presentations and networking opportunities tailored specifically to builders’ needs, covering a diverse range of topics including pricing strategies, contract progression, lead generation, scalability and overcoming growth challenges.
Key takeaways will include:
- How to price jobs and increase margins by using the law of supply and demand
- How to progress opportunities into high margin contracts without being pushy or salesy
- How to generate quality leads without wasting money on old school advertising that no longer works
- How to scale up a custom home building company without working longer hours
- The reason why building companies with annual revenues below $10 million don’t scale easily, and what a contractor needs to do in order to overcome that challenge
- The No. 1 mistake builders make when growing their business and why they should never satisfy the demand they’ve created for their services
