What It’s About:
While there is no doubt value in having your own dedicated staff, for many, the economy has dictated adjustments to how you address personnel decisions in order to remain competitive. In this session, builders and remodelers will learn how to maximize their use of trade contractors and in the process, increase the quality of work, shorten job schedules and create happier customers. You'll hear how one builder went from 22 employees to zero in 30 days, and did so while increasing profits and eliminating headaches. His proven method will show you how to recognize what your trade contractors want and how you can help them run their businesses more efficiently too, so that everyone benefits from this transition.
