Description

Whether you're trying to win your first job or fill a hole in your schedule, negotiating a construction bid is a delicate game. In this episode of ProfitDig Live, the crew dives deep into smart (and not-so-smart) negotiation tactics contractors can use to win jobs without giving away all their profit.

đź’¬ We cover:
✔️ When (and how) to negotiate your price
✔️ How to talk to GCs about being “a little high” on your bid
✔️ What to say without sounding desperate
✔️ The importance of building in a CYA buffer
✔️ Why relationships with suppliers matter during negotiations
✔️ When a GC reaches out to you for cuts - and how to handle it

You’ll also hear real-life examples from the ProfitDig team about how negotiation has saved jobs… and how it can go wrong if you’re not careful.
