STOP WORKING BROKE PODCAST

Slow Season — “Good. Here’s how you buy your future.”

Welcome to Stop Working Broke—the rebranded podcast from Outside the Business Box—hosted by Chad Murray. If you’re running job-to-job, chasing checks, and the phone gets quiet the minute you stop pushing, this show is for you.

Each episode is packed with real-world tips and straight advice to help service business owners fix the stuff that keeps them stuck: cash flow, marketing that actually works, better offers, follow-up systems, hiring, delegation, and operations—so you can build a business that runs without eating your life.

In this episode: Slow Season — “Good. Here’s how you buy your future.”

We break down why slow times really happen (hint: it’s often the lag from decisions made 60–120 days ago) and the non-negotiable tasks that get the phone ringing fast:

  • Reactivate old demand (call/text old estimates + past customers)
  • Follow-up that doesn’t quit (3 touches in 7 days)
  • Referral systems that lift revenue 20–30%
  • Call audits + turning the person answering the phone into a sales engine
  • Stronger seasonal offers + conversions
  • Reviews, Google Business Profile updates, and trust-building proof
  • Partner and commercial outreach to stabilize revenue year-round
  • Upsell/cross-sell systems on every job (show the full menu)
