Some businesses and services were "easy" to make full remote but plumbers and service-members are thinking outside of the box on how taking their services remote with video-calling. For small repair and maintenance businesses this looks like a great passive way to services clients out of area and keep W2 team-members utilized! #utilization #repairsandmaintenance #handyman #plumber #electrician #profitability

Here’s 3 reasons why you’re skint as a Specialist Trade / Contractor: 1. You accept retention - 5% retention for most will be at least 60% of the profit in your prices. It’s taken off your “bottom” line, not “top” (massive difference when you realise). 2. You keep working after payment is delayed - Payment due to land on Friday but no valid Pay Less received, not even a call to explain and then the games start. By the time you try finding somebody to help its 2-3 months in and cashflow is shot. Then they bump you or go under. 3. You give a discount for early payment - This is perhaps the worst. At least with retention and delayed payment, it’s supposed to land eventually. With discounts, you never see it. And chances are you’ll still be paid late anyway. If nothing else, these 3 things will massively improve your chances of surviving a toxic industry. If struggling with this and you think there’s no way out, message me and I can show you a better way. It won’t be all sunshine and crustless cucumber butty’s, but the process works. #cinstruction #qs

“[With Uber], you’re dealing with people who need a temporary gig or just a couple extra bucks, and that’s a very different talent pool than skilled tradesmen who already make six figures with full benefits,” John Wilson, CEO of The The Wilson Companies, tells Homepros. It’s obvious: The HVAC industry is changing. Thanks to the Amazons of the world, today’s consumers expect more than ever. The “I want someone here now!” mentality is real, and raises a new question for the industry: Is there room for an on-demand, Uber-like platform in HVAC? The industry’s labor shortage makes it a more complicated target for an Uber-like app than ground transportation. Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/eF3h-6kj
