#495 From trades to sales and back with Josh Ruiters from Hi-Tech Concrete Cutting.

Josh tells us the tricks he learned from corporate sales and why he left to sell concrete cutting jobs. We talk about cool jobs, x-raying buildings, and keeping employees in an employee's market. We end discussing changes we can make to get more people into the industry on this episode of The Construction Life Podcast.

Any business, especially construction, requires us to know what’s going on at all times.
But, how can we be in the high level of things and not the bits and bites, in order to be able to actually also have the time to build the business and take it forward?
Because, see, whether we want it or not - we find ourselves dealing with the bits and bites - if we don’t have the right tool to operate our business. And by that I mean - if we are doing things manually instead of digitally.
Now, I’m not talking about making sheets on excel or just texting instead of calling - I’m talking about whole new levels of doing things digitally - from knowing our employees clocked in at the right place and time, knowing our employees know the job they need to do, knowing what’s going on in the filed by receiving live forms or checklists - these all can be and should be done digitally! Not to mention your younger employees who work and live digitally, and expect to get that in their workplace as well.
And if this sounds like fiction, it’s not - just switch to Connecteam - a platform built for managers - with a lot of different capabilities that helps you truly manage your business and gives you back time to focus on what you need, while giving your employees the work experience they expect to get in 2023 going on 2024.
