We all know that knowledge is money and serving our financial future requires money. A contractor can take something like the quizzes and turn a company training session into a competitive game with a prize for the winner. What kind of a prize. A dinner, a company shirt, probably not a cup. Everyone has way too many cups. Take a picture of awarding the prize and put it up on a “ This Week ’ s Winner Board. ” It doesn ’ t have to be expensive. Just some recognition. If it is important to you, the contractor or manager, it will be important to them. So how does this turn into money? The more knowledge we have the more likely we are to diagnosis the problem and fix it in one trip. Fewer callbacks make more money. Yes, less is more. This fun exercise leads to more interest in learning. Reading technical books and watching videos will become the conversation in the shop. That means you have a culture of excellence. A culture of excellence creates success and company branding within the community. It may not seem like much; but, “ Taking a Quiz ” may change your company and your financial outlook.
