Guest Speakers
John Silcox and Jon McArthur spoke to us about time management. John and Jon provided many ways for us to consider how to better manage all aspects of our business. How to stay organized out in the field i.e. keep good records on the type and size of equipment on each job, know what you need before you get there, change your route direction etc. In the office, there are many good software packages to do your billing and track your jobs, customers etc, or you can hire those tasks out along with payroll to outside companies.
