Structuring Your Company for Maximum Productivity with Danny from BT Academy

Series: Scaling your business from ‘$500k to $5 million’
Guest: Danny Kerr from BT Academy

  • Part One: Building Your One-Page Strategic Plan – [LINK]

It’s no surprise that BT Academy is one of Canada’s fastest growing companies. As you’ll soon find out, Danny is a friggin business guru. Over the last couple of years, Danny and I have spoken on many occasions and every time, I’m blown away by how awesome he and his business is. If you’re a tradie or contractor, you simply MUST get in BT Academy’s space.

…And lucky for you, you have that option at the bottom of this page.

Danny has been on The Site Shed before for the series titled, The top 3 mistake growing trade businesses make. Go check them out if you want to hear more episodes with him.

  1. Here is the link to episode one – Attracting the right talent.
  2. Here’s the link to spidoe two – Lack of focus on Gross Profit Margin
  3. Here’s the link to part three – Wrong Prioritisation of time

Here’s a bit of a spiel on BT Academy:

Based out of British Colombia, Canada, BT Academy exists to teach businesses how to create a sustainable business structure, using the principles of a franchise model.

Franchises depend heavily on systems and processes, which serves as the fundamental lynch-pin in a franchises ability to operate out of multiple locations while delivering a consistent product/service.

My co-host in this series, Danny Kerr, has a background in franchising. A few years ago, he decided it would be a good idea to educate trade business owners how they can create similar frameworks in their own businesses.

As a result, BT Academy was born and they now help hundreds of organisations, right across Canada and the United States take their businesses to a level that is systemised, profitable and independent of any one person (in most cases the business owner).

In this series, we’ll be talking about how to scale your trade business from $500k to $5 mill. Here are the episodes:

  1. TSS195 – Building Your One-Page Strategic Plan
  2. TSS196 – Structuring Your Company for Maximum Productivity
  3. TSS197 – How to Generate Rockstar Employee Applications
  4. TSS198 – Maximizing Gross Profit in Your Business

Great work Matt with all the podcasts and the site shed facebook community group. The amount of information that you can learn for free in this space is unbelieveable.

I have been listening to the pod casts for a few months now, I can't get enough of all the awesome content that you guys provide. Especially when you guys deliver it from a trade perspective which helps out a lot. Keep up the good work and hopefully one day I can afford one of the trade training trips.
