Kim Archer

Kim Archer’s career in the trades began in 1990 for a small heating contractor struggling to break $1 million in revenue. As their office manager, Kim didn’t just keep the lights on—she drove growth, helping scale the company to $3.6 million in annual revenue.

When Kim joined BDR in 1997 as a dealer consultant, she brought that same relentless drive—and never looked back. She helped develop the first version of BDR’s Opportunity Manager, the go-to in-home sales software contractors rely on for presentations and sales team management. Today, that very software is used by contractors nationwide.

As vice president of coaching, Kim became the visionary behind BDR’s Profit Coach program, leading a powerhouse team of 50+ coaches. Kim’s financial templates power hundreds of monthly reports—supporting clients with a staggering $2.1+ billion in collective revenue.

Kim’s impact also extends far beyond spreadsheets. For decades, she was the driving force and lead financial trainer behind some of BDR’s flagship training classes (Accounting & Office Management and QuickBooks® for Contractors), ensuring they evolved with the industry. As the architect behind Profit Launch, the longest-running and most highly-rated business planning workshop in the home service industry, Kim has reshaped how businesses plan—and execute—to drive profit and thrive.

Fast-forward to today, and Kim stands at the helm as president of BDR—not just leading but building a legacy through systems, strategy, and empowerment. Every process she optimizes, every tool she refines, and every team member she supports (all 180+ of them) becomes part of something bigger: a foundation for lasting success. Because for Kim, leadership isn’t about maintaining the status quo—it’s about rewriting the future. And true to form, she proves daily that true leaders don’t just adapt to change—they define it.
