Creating Your Success Roadmap through Planning, Budgeting and Data-Driven Execution

Doug Howard

In the challenging and uncertain times, remodeling companies need a roadmap that reflects company goals for the next several years, planning on the best path to achieve those goals, a budget process that puts details to those plans and a system of management and accountability where decision making is data driven, not shooting from the hip.  
 

This presentation will outline the practical steps for:  

  • Setting your 3-year goals 
  • Creating a financial roadmap for those years 
  • Using the roadmap to drive annual budgeting 
  • Using the budget and financial data to drive performance

Production Success is all in the Handoff

Tim Faller

The last few years have made it very hard to predict outcomes in production for a project. With material delays, trades that are booked out, or simply people cannot come to work due to Covid makes it very difficult. Add to those the client’s expectations and your production team is up against a seemingly impossible wall. Then they find out a “binder” is incomplete. The handoff from sales/design to production may be the place where you find the biggest bang for the buck in your process. We will address:

  • What is complete?
  • How do you stop the complaining about the binder
  • What can you do to address client expectations in that handoff
  • What are some common mistakes that makes the handoff less effective

How to Stand Out, Attract the Best Clients & Win Every Sale that Comes Your Way

“Why should I choose you?” Every project won or lost can be traced back to how you answer this one simple question. To win the job, your prospect must believe that you are their best choice. The problem is that you can’t just tell them why you are; they must discover it on their own.

This session will show you how to position yourself as the prospect’s best choice from the onset, giving you a distinct advantage over your competition—even if you’re competing against companies 10 times your size.

Packed with real-world examples, this interactive crash course on branding and strategic positioning will provide tools you can take home and immediately apply to your business.
