“If I had been given this book to read and study when I started my remodeling business, I would be even further along in my business development. Allow this book to be your coach while building your business and learn to ‘do it right–not just get it done’!”

“Contractors: Doing it Right Not Just Getting It Done is a quick read full of insights from Mel DePaoli’s in-depth research of 30 construction companies. What perfect timing for this book to appear as this industry starts to recover from the deepest recession since the 1930′s. Companies profiled in the book reinforce the premise that culture makes a huge difference in their ability to succeed. Case studies suggest practical ways companies have implemented change, empowered employees (members of their “tribe”) and built loyalty with their clients. A favorite feature – the last chapter lists the key points from all previous chapters. I’m buying this book for all my clients in the construction industry!”

“I really like the ‘If You Don’t Read Anything Else’ chapter and have asked my assistant to keep a copy of it on her desk to refer back to regularly. It is very accurate and to the point.”

“We have spent a considerable amount of time and resources ensuring that our business systems support a memorable experience for our clients. Our work with the book gave us insight in to things we had done very well to this point and reinforced our efforts for continual improvement.”

“Excellent book on how important a strong corporate culture is in ‘driving’ your brand or the on-going perception of value of your company. Building and maintaining a strong culture is key for longevity and success of your business, especially during tough economic times.”

“As a Contractor, this information is imperative to have in your tool box!”

“The book is a very ease read. It is easy to comprehend her points and move through the book–this is really important to me as I will stop reading if I find the writer is getting bogged down with a lot of the intricate detail (Gotta keep moving–like a shark). This book is a MUST for contractors, those in the construction industry, or professionals who work with contractors.”
