Show Notes

It’s halftime, folks.

In this episode of The Platinum Business Break, Dan Owens — building products veteran and business fixer — calls a timeout for a brutally honest mid-year check-in.

You’ll hear the 4 biggest myths floating around boardrooms and breakrooms that are silently killing growth in the building products industry:

- “Our business is running fine” (Spoiler: it’s not.)

- “We just need more leads” (Nope — you need a better system.)

- “Our CRM is fine” (If you’re quoting from Excel, it’s broken.)

- “Sales training? We don’t have time for that.” (Then don’t be surprised when you miss your number.)

Dan breaks down each myth with real-world stats, industry truth bombs, and practical advice for getting back on track before Q4 hits you like a freight train.

If you’re in leadership, sales, or ops in manufacturing, distribution, contracting, or rep groups — this episode is your wake-up call.

Listen now to recalibrate your team, tighten your process, and crush the second half of the year.
