Show Notes

Is your Q2 report looking more like a crime scene than a scoreboard? You’re not alone. In this episode, Dan Owens checks in with the building products industry and unpacks why so many teams are feeling the heat heading into Q3. From slumping housing starts and tariff chaos to sales teams running on fumes, it’s easy to see why some businesses are on edge.

But don’t panic—this is your halftime speech. Dan walks through the three biggest pain points hitting manufacturers, reps, and distributors right now and shows how strategic visibility, better systems, and sales training built for 2025 can help you rally before year-end.

Whether you’re a small shop or a mid-market player trying to survive the storm, this episode delivers clarity, humor, and a much-needed shot of optimism.

✅ In this episode:

What the latest housing and sales data are telling us about the market

Why chaos (not competition) is your biggest threat

Real talk on why your sales team might be stuck—and how to fix it
