GET SALES GROWTH WORKPLANSome shops hit a strange stretch where sales look active and growth still feels thin.
They bid more. They hire more. They push harder. And the better work still slips away, the close rate stays soft, and the margin disappears the minute the board fills up.
That is the part most owners feel before they can name. The issue is rarely effort. It is a sales system built for smaller jobs, softer pricing, and easier conditions than the shop is trying to grow into.
The problem is not that the shop stopped selling. The problem is that the old sales system cannot carry the next version of the business.
The shops that get through this do not solve it with pressure. They get sharper about which jobs are worth winning, what the number has to protect, and where the system breaks before the revenue ever lands.
More activity is easy. Steady growth is harder to fake.
Each track answers a different sales question. Together they show where better work is won, missed, or given away.
Find the real blocker before you push harder.
Some shops do not have a demand problem. They have a ceiling problem.
