The Total Profit Podcast
Straight talk about pricing, margins, and building a business that pays you back.
If You’re Busy But Broke...
Something’s Broken.
Most business owners think the answer is more sales.
More jobs.
More hustle.
But if you’re not keeping what you earn, more revenue is just more chaos.
Total Profit Management (TPM) exists to fix that.
We help contractors, trades, and service business owners:
Spot profit leaks in real-time
Fix broken pricing strategies
Eliminate guesswork
Turn chaos into a system that actually pays you
And finally get paid what they’re worth.
Profit Clarity Starts Here
Live profit tracking. Clean data. Smarter decisions.
TPM gives you visibility and control—without needing a finance degree.
Real-time margin analysis
True job costing (finally done right)
Strategic pricing enforcement
Onboarding support to get you dialed in fast
And it all runs on the Performance Margin™ software—our proprietary system built by contractors, not accountants.
The Performance Margin Zone™
This is where struggling contractors become profitable operators.
The Performance Margin Zone is our proven methodology for building a business that consistently produces healthy margins.
Inside the Zone, contractors move from:
Guessing → Knowing
Reactive → Strategic
Revenue focused → Profit focused
Instead of chasing more work, you build a system that protects profit on every job.
The Tools Inside the Performance Margin Zone
Profit doesn’t come from one magic dashboard.
It comes from having the right systems working together.
Inside the Performance Margin Zone, we deploy only the tools you need to run a modern contracting business from one place.
One System.
Total Visibility.
Most contractors are stuck with a patchwork of tools.
- QuickBooks.
- Spreadsheets.
- Random apps someone recommended.
And none of them talk to each other.
The result? Information everywhere… and clarity nowhere.
Inside the Performance Margin Zone, we help contractors build a connected system where every part of the business feeds real numbers back to one place.
- Sales.
- Jobs.
- Costs.
- Payroll.
- Margins.
When everything connects, profit becomes visible.
And once you can see it, you can control it.
Built by Contractors. Backed by Results.
TPM was born in the trenches—on blacktop jobs, inside QuickBooks disasters, and around kitchen tables with business owners saying:
“We’re working harder than ever. But we’re barely making it.”
So we built a better system.
One that shows where the money goes—and how to fix it before it’s gone.
“We didn’t need more work. We needed better margins. TPM helped us cut the fat, price right, and stop the bleeding.”
— David R., Contractor
