“Prinkey gives us the model and tools to consistently be the best as a construction contractor. Those that adopt these principles will no longer need to ask how they can be considered best in class but will be well on their way to achieving that goal.”

“I’ve had the good pleasure of working with Chad and his team for over 14 years. During that time, our business has grown tenfold and Chad played a leading role on the team that made this possible. The concepts and principles he taught us when we had 300 employees apply today with our team of 2,500. His sincere interest in others, his passion for teaching and his ability to relate and articulate the basic principles of training and sales makes this book worth the read. I highly recommend it.”
