Building an A Team involves more than just finding the right contractor. Vendors, suppliers, and manufacturers can be partner, helping you build a business that is personally and professionally satisfying and profitable. Choose your vendors wisely say brothers, Peter and Alex Spalding of Daniel House Club.

In this episode we learn:

  • stop chasing small discounts—tiny savings are not worth the additional time and hassle
  • don’t shop at stores that are not created to serve the designer best
  • reliable, trade-oriented vendors will be there when something goes sideways
  • don’t buy a paper clip if you don’t have to (watch expenses)
