If you’re a business owner stuck in the day-to-day whirlwind and wondering how to reclaim your time—today’s episode is your blueprint.

We’re joined by Cory Byron, founder of Vancity Electric and a Breakthrough Academy Member for over seven years. Since joining, Cory has doubled his gross profit—not by working more hours, but by installing smart automated systems that do the heavy lifting for him.

In this episode, he unpacks the exact systems that took his customer journey from reactive chaos to streamlined machine—from customer onboarding automations to virtual quoting tools, to follow-ups that actually close more jobs.

Cory is an absolute tank when it comes to automation, leveraging technology and implementing systems and every contractor can learn something from him.

Episode Highlights:

- Get a walkthrough of a REAL contractor and BTA Member’s customer experience automations and systems that increase closing rates, facilitate upsells and foster positive engagement between the company and the customer.

- Learn about Cory’s experience as a BTA Member and how the program helped him double his gross profit WITHOUT grinding harder for more hours.

- Hear about the lifestyle systemizing has allowed Cory to live. More time with family, more involvement with community and more time to do what he loves.
