MANAGING RESTORATION COMPANY GROWTH
Where is your company at along the growth curve? Do you find yourself constantly working work in the day-to-day business, wearing too many hats,
and then a day, a week, a month go by and you haven’t been able to devote the time you need to work on growing the business?
There are five different stages of growth in a restoration company. In each stage, there are specific strategies to manage the growth and get to the next stage.
- Making yourself increasingly ‘irrelevant’ to the daily tasks by providing systems that other people can use to accomplish the task
- Organize the business and make it easy for every task to be accomplished because there’s a place for everything and everything has its place
- Working on your personal growth has a direct impact on your company’s growth.
and more.
GROW BY WEARING FEWER HATS!
There is no greater investment than the ones you make in your people. Without high-performing, happy staff, you’re sunk. Every person has different motivations, but there is one thing everybody has in common – we all want to know we are getting the job done the right way, every time.
This leads to a company culture of respect, information-sharing and can-do attitudes. To make this happen, people need systems. The document processes, methods and tools they need to complete their daily tasks in a remarkably consistent and efficient manner. The systems are comprised of:
- Checklists and forms that cover every step of a task, big and small
- Training and education resources to put the systems to work
- Compensation plans that tie great performance to great rewards
You’re only one click away from providing your people the systems they need to go from being good to being great.
