Интервью Чэпмена Кристофер (ServiceCEO.com) Posted: 01 Jun 2010 05:29 AM PDT Chris is responsible for ServiceCEO’s ability to meet the real world needs of field service businesses. He takes the complex functions faced by service businesses and creates intuitive solutions so that even the novice computer user can operate ServiceCEO. Chris is considered one of the top authorities in automating the management and back office needs of service businesses and has helped thousands of single-site and franchise organizations streamline their business processes for growth, operational uniformity and profit maximization. Chris is the father of three and is an avid golfer, poker player and sports fanatic with vast knowledge of useless sports trivia. Chris and his wife Allison are very active in the parents of children with autism community, helping to bring awareness and attention to searching for a remedy to a health epidemic which now affects 1 out of 150 children in the United States, including their son CJ. What’s the most common challenge that contractors face on a day-to-day basis? Can you provide some examples of reasons why contractors don’t get paid on time? Luckily for contractors the top 3 reasons they don't get paid on time are completely in their control. Do you think contractors have a fear of technology or the Internet? I don't think contractors fear technology or the Internet – rather, it appears to me to be more of lack of confidence to learn. I am always amazed that a person who has the capability to learn the innermost details of building or fixing complex systems or structures lacks the confidence to understand the amount of intellectual horsepower they bring to the table. It is one of the more enjoyable aspects of my job really, seeing a customer sign on for our solution thinking he/she just needs to hand it off to office staff or spouse … and then watch them blossom into a bona fide super-user much to their own surprise. Using the tool to analyze, strategize, plan and grow their business – no MBA required! What’s the one investment a contractor should make that would have a positive impact on business - today? Back to business basics 101 : define their business process, examine opportunities for improvement, find a solution that meets the need of that need and implement. There is no magic bullet that is a cookie cutter investment across the board, every contracting company has its own strengths and weaknesses and should act accordingly. How does seasonality affect contractors business and how can they plan for it better? Seasonality is a reality, and it brings many challenges for a contracting business without proper planning. Obviously cash flow can be a major issue, especially for those companies that want to keep the talented team of employees they have brought on board. This requires careful planning of all costs that will be incurred and proper nest egging of cash for those projections. One strategy I have seen many contractors incorporate is to diversify services for the slow season, whether that be a new line of business such as installing Christmas decorations or snow removal, or cross-selling services into their current customers with additional add-ons or winter/summer tune-ups. How can contractors even think about marketing themselves or growing their business when they are challenged with even properly servicing today’s customers? The best marketing - point blank - is happy customers, so adding more customers to a system that can't handle the current load is not a wise investment. The proper first step is to put systems in place that enable you to properly service the customers you have. Can you point to any examples of contractors or small service businesses that are doing things ‘right’? I am constantly amazed at some of the customers I speak to and how they run and analyze their business. My favorite recent story is of this HVAC franchisor who built a mobile office into his truck for each one of his techs. The techs now have the ability to print out detailed and professional looking estimates and invoices right at the customer site while instantly updating the system at the same time. This company no longer has any paper trail to get lost under the seats and his customer satisfaction is skyrocketing at the same time. What tools and resources should contractors consider to achieve more productivity? Everything! These business owners should continuously be examining how they can get more efficient and productive - this is their number one responsibility. Thank you Christopher for taking the time to participate in the interview. |
Well-Designed космос: Чего мы можем выучить от гостиниц Posted: 01 Jun 2010 04:33 AM PDT When trying to impress upon my siblings and me the importance of tidiness, my grandmother always used to say: "A place for everything and everything in its place." She had neither the financial resources nor the desire for the random accumulation of goods, and the few things she did acquire during her lifetime served distinct purposes. She would have made an astute consultant for the hotel industry, where every aspect of design is considered carefully for its efficiency, orderly appearance, and cost effectiveness. In this age of mass consumption, it seems that we have lost the ability to edit the spaces we inhabit. I thought a lot about the disintegration of simplistic living during a recent stay at the Mandarin Oriental (MO) in Las Vegas (what better place to do this, right?). The nature of the business mandates that certain elements are included in the hotel guestroom, a place to sleep and a place to wash being the most basic. But the MO takes extra measures to maximize space and create an oasis of calm in the otherwise frenetic environment of Las Vegas. Here's what works: 1. Ample storage - I like to unpack my suitcase the moment I arrive at a hotel room, even if I am staying only one night. When my clothes and belongings are strewn all over the place, I feel completely unsettled. Unlike the typical sliding mirrored doors that line guestroom entryways, the MO designates approximately a quarter of the room for the "closet" area. This includes compartmentalized space (six drawers, a full-length closet, above-head storage, an exposed shelf for suitcases, and a valet closet to the outside hallway for discreet deliveries) and ample room for dressing. At first I thought this was an inefficient use of space, but I quickly realized that it allowed the rest of the room to breathe. At home, customize your closet to maximize your storage capacity and even consider building closets for rooms that don't have them. The absence of clutter will make up for the lost space. |
