Business & Marketing Tips

Making Your Drive Time Profitable

We all have lots of windshield time that is usually “not so profitable”. Music and talk-radio fill our mind and we learn very little; yet, those aren’t the only options. For example, Ruth King, our Profit and Wealth Guru of choice, provides a free podcast almost every week. Topics from marketing to growth mistakes to paying taxes can fill your mind with thoughts and directions on approaching your business with a positive outlook. Look, every business owner is challenged with managing the nuts and bolts of service calls and installs but also with how to make the business profitable. Not every podcast will take you to multimillion sales and big profit; however, they can give a perspective on direction. That is key. Many of our folks have a “successful” business that started out as one man delivering service to friends and neighbors. One day they woke up to a nice small company of two or three trucks and a few employees. Getting the work done still occupies most of their time and focus. That is good except you must turn that good beginning into a path for a good life and good ending for you and your employees.
