AlignOps broke down the five non-negotiable habits of high-growth contractors—the real-world behaviors that consistently lead to more wins, smoother operations, and stronger ROI.

The message was clear: growth doesn’t come from working harder. It comes from building repeatable systems—ones that define success, track performance, connect teams, and create accountability without chaos.

Memorable Quotes

  • “It’s not good enough just to say, ‘Hey, I wanna be better.’ We wanna get specific about what good looks like for you. As a contractor, not everyone’s at the same spot—everyone’s at a different part of their journey with their contracting business. So what does the next step look like for you? Get very specific so that you can get to that next spot for your business.”
  • “We’ve heard of SMART goals before, but it’s really important to dig into them again and to really see how we can leverage them now as a leader in the contracting business. And that’s what we’ve seen again from the thirty years that we’ve been working with contractors—the highest performers are consistently doing this. And it’s pretty simple.”
  • “Number one correlation between high performing contractors are they had impeccable job site data—the things that are out on the job site that’s happening every single day, that’s coming back to the warehouse and to the office where you’ve got real information on what things you’re doing well and maybe what things need to be worked on.”
  • “It’s easy for teams to get siloed. The team doesn’t really know what’s ready in the warehouse. Warehouse doesn’t really know what’s been requested. The back office is chasing around paperwork trying to reconcile things so that they can close out a job, and it delays everything. And what’s wild is how many contractors have no idea if they’re making or losing money on each job live while it’s happening—so they can make the necessary changes they need to make.”
  • “High growth contractors, they don’t rely on verbal agreements or memory. They build systems in their operations—clear, simple accountability systems—which makes trusting teammates and crew members extremely easy.”
  • “People do not decide their futures. They decide their habits, and their habits decide their futures.”
