Scaling with Talent and Data, Dan Murphy of MAG Insulation

MAG Insulation is scaling rapidly across Michigan, but to keep up with demand, Dan needs Nick and Jay’s help optimizing bids, increasing field capacity, and rethinking recruiting from the ground up.

Our hot seat this week:

Dan Murphy, President of MAG Insulation, is running one of Michigan’s top-performing commercial and residential insulation companies. But with explosive growth and a tight labor market, he’s feeling the squeeze — not in leads or bids, but in trained field technicians to get the work done. That’s where Nick Sonnenberg and Jay Abraham step in. From rethinking recruiting strategy to optimizing bidding, this episode dives deep into what it takes to unlock operational leverage in the construction industry.

In this episode, we help Dan:

  1. Develop a creative, full-time recruitment strategy to secure field technicians and fuel expansion
  2. Optimize bidding with data-driven insights to increase close rates and profitability
  3. Reallocate team roles to unlock capacity and reduce hiring pressure
