Contracting has driven more than its share of people over the edge. Why?
The life of a contractor is very different than that of someone who does hands-on work.
Being a contractor means living in a world of forces that push, pull, and buck like a bronco — and it can take its toll.
Every contractor must deal with things like:
- Endless details to manage...
- Schedules that control your life...
- Specifications that change...
- Trades that don't show...
- Suppliers that don't deliver (on time)...
- Employees that aren't always reliable...
- Competition that operates "under the table"...
- Feast or famine cycles in the economy...
- Customers that take their time paying...
- The domino effect of bankruptcy...
- Things that go side ways for reasons beyond your control...
- And the list goes on...
But even with all the challenges, why is it some companies thrive, succeed, and even become major players in their markets? The bottom line: they're better at managing their information (because they put systems in place to help them do it).
Whether you do a lot of Jobs or only a few, every one requires juggling details (information). All of it needs to be managed, organized, scheduled, and communicated to the people that need to know.
Better information management lets you be more proactive, less reactive, and gives you peace of mind that important details are covered.
Better information management results in better managed Jobs, more sales, more reliable estimates, a smoother running office, better customer relations, improved health and saftey, higher productivity, and lower costs.
Better information management means happier customers, happier employees, and more profitable Jobs. More profitable Jobs add up to a more profitable business - and that should be music to everyone's ears.
