Gene McNaughton

Chief Growth Officer

Gene has been exactly where you are. He built a geotechnical contracting business from zero to over $5M in revenue in under 4 years — personally selling more than $4M of that at strong margins. Before that, he held executive sales roles at Gateway Computers and served as EVP of Global Sales for Tony Robbins.

Everything in this session comes from the same playbook he used to grow his own contracting company and the 164+ businesses he's coached since. No theory — just what actually works when you're the one running the estimates and closing the deals.

What Changes for You

5 Outcomes You'll Walk Away With

Any one of these can move the needle on your business within 90 days. Apply all five and the math gets hard to ignore.

01

Attract Higher-Quality Leads

You'll stop chasing volume and start attracting the homeowners and commercial buyers who actually close — at the margins your business needs to grow.

02

Small Improvements, Massive Results

A 10% improvement across your lead gen, opportunity conversion, site visits, close rate, and average sales price compounds into transformational growth for your business.

03

Run a Site Visit That Commands Premium Pricing

You'll walk every site visit using the EDGE method — Educate, Develop a Gap, Greater Gap, Emotional Connection — so homeowners see you as the expert, not just another bid.

04

Win on Experience, Not Price

53% of your buyer's decision comes down to the experience you create. You'll understand the 6 principles of influence and the Iron Triangle framework — so you stop competing on price and start winning on trust.

05

Turn Every Happy Client Into Your Next Deal

You'll build a referral system that runs on autopilot — the follow-up cadence, the exact language, and the timing that puts your happiest clients in a peak referral state.
