What's your New Year's Resolution?


Resolve to Get Ahead During Winter Downtime

Working on your business during the winter months can yield fruitful improvements that will boost your results throughout 2022. Here are 5 things you can start now to get ahead:

Get excited about growth. Instead of pointing out potential problems, take a positive approach. Focus on the opportunities that come with expansion. The market is in your favor; find ways to say “yes”.

Develop a people plan. Implement strategies to find and retain key people in your company. Tune up your recruiting resources including on-line job postings, a career page on your website and an employee referral program.

Grow your team's capabilities with training
. Stop trying to do everything yourself. Develop other leaders in your business. Take advantage of the slow season to work on crew leader development, technician training and correcting skill gaps.

Adopt more efficient processes. Review the bottlenecks and frustrations that challenged your team in 2021 and develop solutions. Analyze your processes to pinpoint where things break down.

Drive your business with data. Optimize your software to track your costs better and to adjust pricing dynamically based on backlog, route density and more. When your managers have the right information, they make better decisions.

Put some time on your calendar. Schedule a meeting with us if you need ideas, resources – or just moral support. Let’s hit the ground running this spring!
