I’ve always been a fan of software, being able to leverage my time and increasing net profits.

Here at DYB Coach, we recommend best job management software around…

Yes, It’s Basecamp.

Below are 3 reasons to start now, I mean now!

1. Job scope and hours all in one place.  

Ever have to show up to a job just to explain what needs to be done?  

My crews know what to do on the job before it starts.

How much time would that save you?  Could your crew start the job without you?

2.  Checklists and systems!  

Pre-build it in Basecamp with your templates.

Here is a sample template I use in my business to make sure we get everything into our “Job Folder”.

What would you put into your template?  Separate one for interior? Exterior?

3. Daily job reports which you can share with your clients!

I require reports from my crews daily.  I usually get reports when my crew leaders get home after work.

 

Basecamp tells me what’s going on, what they need, when they think they will finish the job. I then forward the email to the client and let them know how the job is progressing and to answer any questions.

 

I always get an excited reply!

 

Our clients love the updates.

We also use the pictures to point out things that have been discussed with our clients.

We need to protect our business, employees and the client.  Perfect way to document issues, agreements, and use it for a “CYA”!

I would highly encourage you to start today even if you think you or your employees can’t learn this technology.

Believe me when I say this is EASY.

Our learning curve was about 2 weeks.

 

Once we were out of the learning curve we started asking our crew leaders what they should be putting on Basecamp.  I put their suggestions into our systems and had immediate buy in!  You can do it too!

 

Need help?  

The 30 Hour Work Week  has exact instructions on how to start using this amazing software program today, along with a video where April walks you through the process.

 

Need extra help?  

A DYB Coach is a great way to get the ball rolling,  and this is the extra push I needed to implement this system. I’m so glad I did, as well as many others like Larry here, and you will be, too…

About the Author

As a newly single father of two from MI, he struggled to start over as a paint contractor in FL, going door to door. His situation was so bad, even the IRS had mercy on him.

 Feeling completely hopeless, he remembered the story of King Solomon praying for wisdom. Could it be so easy? 

He felt he had absolutely nothing to lose. So, as a bankrupt, divorced, high school dropout, single father of 2 young kids, now living 1250 miles away from all friends and family, started to pray for wisdom.
 And while he continues to wait for the wisdom to arrive, what did come was an insatiable desire to learn and read books… 
Thanks to God for giving him the burning passion to read books, and attend seminars, (oh and winning the wife lottery) he not only cracks the success code and overcomes the struggle, but also streamlines his painting business in less than 3 years, published a how to book, then sold the company. Now he leads a business coaching company for painting contractors so he can help other businesses, like yours, to do the same. Hear more... http://www.DYBCoach.com/01 Or JoinDYB.com

Jeff,

Thanks for the walk thru. All though we use this for our crews, we do not use it to this extent and I will be changing TODAY.

Thanks for being so descriptive with this.
