"Every single month since we first started our coaching sessions with Dan my company has seen continual growth.
Not just financial growth (which is awesome!), I am talking about personal, team and just an overall culture shift.
Before working with you we had no idea what importance trainings had, or written goals and quarterly rocks to get over.
The tools you have provided to us really empower us to either stand up and take charge or keep the same as usual but your accountability will not let that happen!"
Chris Cline
"I would give my highest recommendation for Dan Dowdy and his excellent coaching services.
After 4 years of owning Sunflower Services - a small plumbing company - I asked Dan to coach me and our leadership team.
Long story short, his commitment of time, his true care for our family and team, and the wisdom he’s offered have taken us to the next level as a company.
If you’re looking for a one-and-done coach, this is not your guy. But if you want a solid partner and long-term friend to help you build your business - Dan is the man!"

Our upper management and mid level management at Sunrise Plumbing LLC, has been working with Dan and Built for the Trades for a little over a month now. What we have accomplished up to this point is absolutely amazing! Together, we have really given our company next level direction. Our management team is really “developing the leader within”. Our customers and team members are already benefiting from the company message. To be working with someone who has the experience and has been there and done that is priceless. I am excited about where our company will be in a year! Working with Dan and Built for the Trades is an opportunity of a lifetime!!
