> 
> ### **Don’t Underestimate What Your Estimating System Could Do For Your Business**
> 
> Many contractors look at estimating simply as a way to determine the cost of a project.  Then, when the project is sold, most have to estimate the project all over again just to get a materials list and figure out how long things will take so they can create a project schedule.
> 
> ### **There Is A Better Way!**
> 
> Being strategic about the process you use to collect and document project information when selling to customers can really make a big difference for your business.   Having the right tools and knowledge to help you get it done will be essential.  Having the right tools for the job can help you make much more money!

### Comments about Shawn's Seminars

*"Sales workshop you did last year was excellent.  It helped my sales.  By the way, using your training I learned last year, I'm up to $25,000 annual with Harvey Building Products."*

 

*"I thought the entire presentation was very well prepared.  I find his manner and speaking skills to be very compelling.  He obviously knows his subject and I appreciate his work.  It's definitely worth your while to spend a couple of hours to learn something and be encouraged."*

 

*"Dude, you rocked my world yesterday. It's like, "...wow, this man, Shawn, is giving exactly what I need to run my business, how come it took so long to find him...".  I look forward to staying in touch and being part of the world you are out here creating for mankind"  *

 

*“I’ve heard a lot of positive feedback on your presentation already.  We’ve had a few presentations this year that were good, and a few that were a bit ho-hum, and yours was just what we needed to perk up interest”*

 

*"Attending your seminar earlier today was like finding the key to a door I've been trying to unlock for a long time... and then having it swing open to reveal a room full of all the tools I need to survive and succeed.  I can't thank you enough"*
