It all starts here. If you don’t have a clear picture of your company’s financial health, your decision-making, and ultimately your business, will suffer.
You are the gatekeeper and example for your company. Keep good employees in, keep bad employees out, and foster a sense of team and belonging with your people.
Your field work may be exemplary, but do you know what your company’s perceived marketing message is? You’ve been communicating it every day since you’ve started, whether you realize it or not, and it’s time to get clarity.
Initially, you established this company because you were a professional technician. Now, you have to act as the HR manager too. Be sure to do it correctly, because any mistakes will always have consequences.
You assumed that getting the phone to ring would be the most difficult task. Turned out that was easy, but the challenge is to actually complete the job!
Any organization that wishes to be successful needs to have a sales process in place to accurately evaluate potential customers before devoting any valuable resources to them. No more guessing and estimating. It’s time to actively engage in sales.
The classic contractor isn’t always sharp on the details. The entrepreneurial spirit is what gave you the guts to start this in the first place. Reason #1 why each team needs a capable administrator from the outset.
Scott Lollar is recognized in the paint contracting industry as an honest and forthright thought leader with regards to successful business practices.
For example, Scott’s perspectives on KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators) for contracting companies were featured in the July/August 2022 Edition of American Paint Contractor Magazine, a leading industry publication.
APC Magazine: Why is it important to create a system to watch your KPI’s?
Scott Lollar: To me, business is really math…it’s science. KPIs help you with formulas that get you the result you’re looking for – they are a way of looking at each piece of that formula, because if you’re deficient in any part of it, you’re going to miss the target. A lot of business owners go out and hustle, but they don’t have the data that helps them understand when things aren’t going well. Checking your KPIs at proper intervals can help guide you on your journey.
APC Magazine: How do you determine that the program you’re using is right for you?
Scott Lollar: The key here is whether it’s a tool that you can automate through Zapier; the ability to talk to other programs is my #1 requirement. Also, we’re looking for tools that do one or two things really well. We’re finding a lot of programs trying to be a catch-all and do a lot of different things. I suggest identifying the tool that does just one thing really well, and if you get a couple of extra things, that’s fine.
