Galloway & Company, Inc.’s Post

It’s absolutely a career. No reason why a tech couldn’t make a good wage and have the opportunity to have some “house accounts” they manage for commission. I had a couple of technicians where the client didn’t want to talk to me (ops manager) they wanted to talk to that technician. They trusted them, spent the most time with them, and already had their phone number. There’s so many ways to structure a package for a tech where they have the most amazing career doing what they want and your company benefits from happy clients. There isn’t a Huge step from technician to PM as far as being able to manage some accounts. You can “gamify” this industry, the careers, and even your business if you want. There’s no rules. Make the clients happy. Make your people happy. Maybe yourself happy. That’s the dish you’re trying to make, you can use whatever recipe you want.

I believe that most, not all but most people, when given respect will respond with the same. Excellent pay, benefits and training will attract and retain top talent that will watch the “till” when the owner can’t. Give people the chance at a real career, with all that entails, and then communicate what is needed for them to maintain that and you will have a successful operation. Make the job impossible to replace and they will do what it takes to protect it. Machines and supplies won’t get lost, wasted or misused. Efficiency will go up. Client satisfaction will go up and the carriers will begin to respond too when they begin to see better results. The adjusters have bosses, and those bosses have bosses, and they all get feedback from the clients too. If you make their jobs easier by making sure that they get less pushback then you will get less pushback. It starts with you, own it! You set the tone. If you act as though you deserve it (entitled) then you will reap entitlement. If you approach every day as though YOU must earn it, then you will find yourself surrounded by people willing to earn it. It is cynical to believe otherwise but it is a difficult leap of faith to trust this model because we are all being told, all the time, that people suck so you need to just get yours. The clients, the carriers, the laborers, the TPA’s, etc., they are all people like you and they can’t all suck. If you think that it is everyone else and that you are the only sane, good or hardworking one then… In short, respecting and honoring the efforts of your people, your boots on the ground, is about playing the long game. If you focus on short term success then that is all you will ever have.

One of the benefits of Using Rainbow Restoration for Trace & Access is our National coverage with more local branches than any of our competitors 🌈 One of the key advantages of this is that we always have a technician local to any job. This was proven again on Friday, when one of our Networks Technicians, Sam York responded to an emergency Trace & Access call. The customer had no water in their property due to a leak that caused water to pour through the kitchen ceiling. As the water was isolated at the stop tap before our arrival, the pressure was on to locate and resolve the issue quickly. Sam, who was 45 minutes away at the time of the call, arrived promptly at 15:30. Using his expertise and tools like thermal imaging, moisture mapping, and an endoscope camera, Sam efficiently pinpointed the leak to a small area. He exposed the source—a blown fitting—and capped it off, restoring water to the rest of the property. One happy customer, thanks to the swift response and expertise of Sam! 🙌 #Restoration #EmergencyResponse #RainbowRestoration #CustomerFirst #TraceAndAccess #ThermalImaging #LeakDetection #ExpertService #HappyCustomer

Anyone familiar with Trench Safety knows the immense danger involved in a trench collapse. Even what seems like a small amount of dirt in a relatively shallow trench can rapidly trap and often completely cover workers inside the trench. Rescue crews may be able to respond to the site quickly, but digging out buried workers is painstaking, as rescuers cannot see victims buried in the dirt and must be careful not to cause further injury with heavy machinery or even shovels. Meanwhile, trapped victims can be crushed or suffocate within minutes. I share Brad Wilson ‘s pride in our team every day, but especially on days like these. I am so grateful for the quick-thinking of the firefighters who responded to this scene, for Badger’s always exceptional operators (and those from the other company, as well), and, most especially, for the successful rescue of this worker, who, due to the heroic efforts of first responders and two hydro-vac crews, can still go home to their family at the end of the day. Trench Safety is SO important and I urge each one of you who works in or around construction sites to educate yourself and your team members about the OSHA REQUIRED practices to keep workers SAFE. I don’t know the specific details of this event, but I do know that this worker was extremely lucky to have walked away from this incident. Many other human beings with families have not been so fortunate. Most of these incidents are entirely preventable. Please take safety seriously. Please be responsible and prepared to operate safely. Please STOP WORK if you or others are in unsafe conditions. I am grateful, blessed, and proud to be a part of #Badgerinc, where safety is our culture. Again, so much gratitude to first responders and the hydro-vac operators who participated in the rescue of this worker. Well done.
